they finally bowed to the pressure and removed payne from public duty. honestly it feels surreal that we actually pulled this off together so thank you for sticking with me through all of this. now lets just stay vigilant and make sure it actually stays this way.

Chief Brown,
The undersigned respectfully request that Detective Jeff Payne be removed from positions that require interaction with the public. His escalatory attitude is incompatible with public safety and is not in keeping with the philosophy of the SLPD. As more than a month has passed since the July 26th event involving Detective Jeff Payne at the UNiversity of Utah hospital, we believe you have had ample time to investigate this incident. Unless you are prepared to immediately bring to the public's attention an extenuating circumstance justifying Detective Payne's actions, we request that his duties be restricted to prevent him from interacting with the public until such time as he proves capable of resolving disputes without the threat of violence.
The undersigned also request that detective Payne's supervisor at the time Lt. James Tracy also be removed from his duties involving supervision of officers interacting with the public until he can be re-trained to your satisfaction in both law and good police practices.

I would like to see him give the nurse a public apology in person, be restricted from working with the public (desk job) and in no position of authority over anybody. His treatment of the nurse and his (transient) comments demonstrate he is not professional enough to work with the public.
Arresting an RN for doing her job because it doesn't fall into a particular officers idea of what is "right" is Wrong. To compound that his rough assault on this nurse was totally uncalled for. If he wanted a BAC that badly, why not arrest the "victim".(patient) ?
Having been a nurse in a major trauma hospital, I must say I have never seen such absurd action in my career! The law enforcement does a very good job of protecting us as we do them. This guy needs to be gone from being a cop period!
As per the bodycam video, the officer is also a part time EMT and verbalizes the statement that he will retaliate by determining distribution of future ambulance clients. No other industry offers administrative leave for similar behavior.
When people ask why the public is losing faith in the integrity of US police officers, this is it right here. And the worst part about it, is that every other officer watched it happen without stopping him. His superior officer is just as guilty for not intervening in this.
He had no right to do that

The only reason Salt Lake City PD finally took some action was that Det. Payne's victim put the incident on the internet. Up to that point she was being blown off, despite trying for a month to have Det. Payne held accountable.
