As it stands in the US right now the police are being held to a much, much, lower standard than the civilians they are supposed to be policing, this should have resulted in a instant dismissal and probable criminal charges, it doesn't matter what the cop thought the law was, there was no need to arrest a nurse who's just doing her job, she thinks she needs a warrant, even if she's wrong you make a call and get it sorted out above their heads

I don't disagree entirely.
However everyone is entitled to due process.
While we could what if this to death, if he felt the nurse was willfully obstructing him, she should be arrested. So in that sense, what he thought is all that matters - the arrest is what we are talking about afterall.
If he knew he wasn't lawfully placed and unlawfully arrested her, of course he should be found accountable and subject to whatever investigation/punishment necessary.
Edit - by willful obstruction, I mean he had legal standing and she was intentionally preventing him from following through.
Edit 2 - someone mentioned the lack of warrant was implied. Do we know for sure there was no warrant?
