She should go ahead and take legal action. Nothing will change either way, but at least she might get some compensation and dipshit will get his slap on the wrist

This is the kind of thing that the police chief resigns over. Not just the officer, responsibility for this should go right to the top. Maybe it's just me but nurses occupy a certain position in society. Police fucking with them like this when they are acting to defend a patient in their care crosses about a dozen red lines.

Heh, and the person they wanted blood from turned out to be a cop.
