"The determination we made was best for everyone concerned, that we separate our ways and let Jeff go," said Mike Moffitt, president of Gold Cross Ambulance.
Moffitt said Gold Cross placed Payne on administrative leave on Friday because of comments he made in body camera footage from the July arrest of nurse Alex Wubbels. The footage was released on Thursday.
"I wonder how this will affect my Gold Cross job?" Payne says in the body cam footage. Another officer asks "Do you work up here?"

He knew the rules if he was that involved. He should lose more than that job.
ReplyDeleteHe should be given a medal.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see he was put down. Now, this nurse needs Yuge compensation!
ReplyDelete9:59...so you like your men rough and bully. He is nothing but a schoolyard bully with a little bit of power that I hope they take from him.
ReplyDeleteHe clearly knew he was out of line if he commented about his job. Glad he was fired.
ReplyDelete9:59 violating people's rights because he has a badge--deserves a medal alright. Glad to see he was fired for misconduct.
ReplyDeleteThis officer and the officer that tried to defend him should both be arrested for kidnapping, unlawful arrest and detention, assault and battery just to start this off. Just because they have a badge does not mean they are right. Both need to be suspended without pay and eventually fired. I am a strong police supporter, but trash like these guys are what gives the police a bad name and reputation. An example needs to be set. As far as compensation to the nurse, yeah, I think she needs some bills for it, but I would not go overboard. I think a verbal and written public apology from the two officers, not the chief or other figurehead, is also in order.
ReplyDeleteHe'll be working a desk job till this all blows over, that's all.
ReplyDeleteIf he was a medic he should have known the rules at the hospital.

Going "overboard" is the only thing some people and institutions understand. That's why things are so crappy in this area. People like you don't want to "reward" others with any significant monetary awards in lawsuits. Hence, no lawyer wants to sue anyone there. Not enough money in it, so the crap continues and people keep whining about poor health care, police state, you name it.
