 Police Officer's job is a double edged sword. One side is to serve and protect, the other is to keep people in line. When police pull you over, they are in "command mode." If you have trouble responding to their commands, they tase first and ask questions later.

The couple expected that Ava would be covered as a matter of course. When the company rejected the baby because of the hip misalignment, her parents appealed with the help of their pediatrician. Blue Shield refused to budge.
