The story I heard was the officer is also a trained phlebotomist and was going to draw the blood his self and the hospital refused him access because he didn't have a warrant or meet any of the other criteria to draw blood without consent. If that's true then the nurse was arrested for no other reason than she was the one the hospital administration had deliver the message.
The other cops that were there, and let that escalate, need to be held accountable as well.
Brotherhood or not, at some point you pull your brother aside and say "Hey man, let's walk it back a bit."

There was a mixture of both from what I say.
There were other cops there.
Another day in the life of a hero cop, i guess.
Could it be that this guy was known to be an epic level douche and the others were just content watching him hang himself?

In the military and in my life I was taught to uphold the law and do what is right/ethical 100% of the time. There simply is no "that point" where you throw up your hands and decide to just say, hey I'm not risking ME for THEM anymore. Sorry, but upholding ethics and 'what is right' does not end when the going gets rough or at 5:00 pm, whichever comes first.
