3. That's awful. Hope he sues.

Imagine a nurse having to report this abuse and feeling threatened.

6. The video and blood on the pillow should help.

He handed the phone to somebody, hopefully not the nurse.
You know what you never see? A firefighter doing this. Just for clarification. When you call 911 at least the response crew isn't going to eff you up.

13. I remember I was in clinicals for my nursing degree and saw a cop, an orderly and a nurse verbally

and physically abuse a patient. They told me to keep my mouth shut, in essence, and when I did not, I was not taken on any more patient treatment. One nurse said to me, we know who not to call on for patient assistance, and my response, was, why not report him? I should have called the media. I got my degree but knew I did not want to be part of a system that internalized that BS.

WOODLAND PARK, N.J. – Two videos made public in federal court in Newark show a Paterson police officer brutally beating a patient at a New Jersey hospital.

In a video, the patient lying in his bed at St. Joseph's Regional Hospital tells the officer "do it" before the officer slaps the man twice across the face, so hard that blood sprays onto the bed.

Former Paterson officer Ruben McAusland was sentenced Wednesday to more than five years in prison for drug dealing and assaulting a hospital patient. McAusland was on duty and in uniform during the March 18, 2018, incident.

The 27-year-old ex-Paterson officer had pleaded guilty last June to possessing drugs with the intent to distribute and depriving the patient of his civil rights.

Prosecutors say McAusland distributed heroin, crack cocaine, powder cocaine and marijuana on multiple occasions to someone who was cooperating with law enforcement.

The hospital patient, identified as Andrew Casciano, has filed a $4 million lawsuit against the city.

Police officer Roger Then recorded video of the assault with his cellphone. Then has pleaded guilty in the hospital assault.

12. "slaps"??

He close fist punched that man...twice. I thought the kid on the stretcher looked Italian.
