trying to prevent the nurses from entering the premises to stage a second sit-in -a sit-in inside Bellevue before the rally began was peaceful. One officer even pushed a nurse back. A handful of nurses were able to enter the hospital while their colleagues cheered them on, though still shocked at the hostility they had encountered.“We cannot allow the violent actions of a few hospital police to derail what is a moral cause, which is pay equity for public sector nurses,” John Foy said.
