How about the cop that arrested the nurse?

Utter nonsense.

Imagine, for a moment, how much time it would take for a cop to arrest 5 people in a single shift. Get the call, go to the place, find out enough facts to determine a crime has been committed by a person (you have to write the report, after all), catch and arrest that person (hope the criminal stayed around after the crime), transport the person to jail and either book them or have the attendant start booking. Then, fill out the cover sheet*s) and write down the report.

Then, repeat 4 more times.

While it may be possible to do it once or twice in a career (with overtime to write at least some of the reports), there is no way on God's green Earth any officer, no matter how little they care about court oversight, could do this on a daily basis. I call out the person in the article as a liar.

Edit:
That's not to say that officers don't need to be managed. There are going to be averages that happen to get done by the officers. If everyone else is making an arrest each day and Officer Bob is not, the sergeant is going to ask 'ol Bob why he isn't. "How can all the other officers ferret out some crime each day and you not? " But, that is far from a quota.

Read the article & listen to the video.

He & his partner are both on administrative leave. If he had not done anything wrong (but understandably there still needs to be an internal investigation for formality), why would they be put his partner on administrative leave also. I'm guessing it's because his partner didn't stop him.
