Police Brutality - Where Is The Outrage?

[Franklin Pierce]

Shocking new video shows two Colorado cops under investigation for their violent arrest of an elderly women with dementia laughing and cheering - and giving each other a fist bump - as they watched body-camera footage of the altercation hours later.

They were celebrating all while the 73-year-old woman was suffering in a jail cell, the photos reveal - disheveled and seeming to lose consciousness several times.

Loveland Police Officers Austin Hopp and Daria Jalali arrested Karen Garner on June 26, 2020, after she left Walmart without paying for a candy bar, a can of Pepsi and a t-shirt totaling $13.38.

City officials haven't apologized to the woman or her family, according to the Loveland Reporter-Herald. The footage of the arrest went viral on social media after its release earlier the month in the wake of a new lawsuit against the department.

The suit says during the first hour Garner was in custody, she said: 'They hurt my shoulders' 22 times and 'They hurt my wrists' 13 times. She wasn't given any medical treatment.

Officers Hopp and Jalali arrested 73-year-old Garner, who has dementia, last June after she left Walmart without paying for $13-worth of items. Body-camera footage (pictured) showed Hopp slamming Garner to the ground after she repeatedly said: 'I'm going home'

Pathetic

Pathetic

.....and very disturbing for mature adults to act that way to say the least.
They should turn their badges & uniforms in & become low-life scumbags that ride around town.

So perhaps this should just add to the outrage others are protesting about? Or do you just want outrage for this op? We should all stand up and demand better when the government does this to people.

 

[Lerxtwood]

Too many to keep track of. Get ya boys under control.

 

[n_huffhines]

I bet these cops will be properly punished.

I think the point is you don't see as much coverage for police brutality when the victim is white. And let's face it, given the agenda driven media, this is true. White victims do not get the same press that black victims do.

But yes, I agree, we should be outraged any time authority is abused and we should demand better.

So you think all cops are like this?

Maybe people would care if she had some violent felonies.

 

[lawgator1]

Pretty damming stuff. If it pans out they certainly ought to be fired and criminal charges for battery considered.

Obviously not.

What makes you think this level of force is appropriate for an elderly dementia patient?

Terrible training on dementia. Dumb*ss wanting to fight and fist bump is childish.

There's an entire thread discussing it and this case was in there

Who said it was?

Obviously not.

No one believes this is appropriate. Just like no one believes these officers should receive no penalty for their actions.

Who said or implied all cops were bad?

I never said anything of the sort. Your post implied that “a few bad apples” in the police was a knuckledragger’s excuse for this behavior. I read into it that you think that all cops are like this.

I definitely didn’t intend to imply all cops were bad. I wanted to preempt someone in this thread excusing actions that are clearly unacceptable

I believe there are more like this than the public wants to admit.

I hope you are wrong. But I am inclined to agree with you. As trust in LEOs decrease and fear increases, there will be more people not "doing as they are told". If that happens, I wonder if LEO SOP will change or will they double down?

They will double down.

I believe too many are bullies and believe themselves above us regular citizens. Also their role as revenue collectors has been expanded way too much

There was an article (maybe on here) about a traffic stop that went bad that also listed the number of violent crime cases that had been closed/solved in that same town. They were all in the 20-30% range yet we still have officers out busting people for a taillight.

The problems with policing started after 9/11. The illustrious department of homeland security became heavily involved with LE training in this country. The militarization of the police grew at a rapid pace. They were told that many were domestic terrorists.
