If the guy is carrying a woman into the ER, give him time to deposit her before asking questions. Seriously. Time and place. Think about it. Just be logical. I don't care how many criminal assholes you deal with or how harried you are. It's very simple. The guy's car is outside - he's not going anywhere. You have time to talk to him after he drops off the woman in the ER.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

This story betrays a simple fact: police officers often abuse their "power".

the point is, the officer is not required to show compassion, only enforce the law

At the very least the officer should have let medical personnel take the woman in for treatment

"The fact is that the man broke the law" is nonsense. That's what judgment is for.
