The couple had just left the hospital.
No charges have been laid.

A hospital official threatens the eyewitness and demands he stop recording.
He doesn’t.

The officers’ defense? He was reaching for their gun 🤔

3/9
Due to a long wait, they say they asked if they could leave, and were told yes.
There was an argument as they were leaving.
4/9
No charges have been laid.
And there’s more.
5/9
If the video didn’t exist, an elderly grandfather in his 60’s could be in jail right now – for being punched/elbowed himself by police officers.
6/9
That’ right: Police investigating police.
They dismissed all the claims.
7/9
Except the grandfather appears to have never been a patient, only his wife, who came because she wasn’t feeling well.
8/9
Police apparently may still have the officers' bodycam videos.
They should release the videos, in the public interest.
