The idiots in uniform are doing themselves no favors by being the stupid.

Sounds like a case of a cop getting his authority disrespected.

Now, defend the popo, and civil forfeiture, and qualified immunity, and how they will be between us and Antifa, and they won’t be the front line of gun confiscation...

I would be so SO very upset if this was someone in my family. Poor lady. In my opinion, the Cop broke with reality the moment he ‘threw’ this 80lb elder to the ground. Emotionally, she may never get over this.

My Dad suffered from dementia for his last few months of life. Their demeanor or their apparent focus can change dramatically from one moment to the next.
They need patience and at times, they just need some space.

What a little bitch that cop is. He needs a right proper ass-kicking.

"What kind of cops do they hire there?"

More importantly, what kind of a family (children/grandchildren) does this old lady have when (almost a year later) these two cops are still walking around?

My attitude toward the police — “law enforcement” — has evolved considerably over the years.

So how did a single dislocation or broken bone occur? All he had to do was cuff one wrist and then the other, gently.

How threatened do you need to be to do this to an older 80 pound woman?

Power-tripping cop missing some common sense. I back the blue, but they are out there.

This woman has dementia and she is still driving?
Why the Heck is she still allowed to drive?

“As an aside, not sure she should be driving.”

She wasn’t driving. She was walking. When I first saw the video I thought she had been stopped and walked away from her vehicle, but no. There was no vehicle other than the cop car.

Didn’t that cop see the sign around her neck that says she doesn’t speak or hear none to well? /S

Could you enlighten everyone how you would prefer police detain and arrest shoplifting and assault suspects that would be better than this method?

Should they just beam them to jail? Is that how it works in your magical kingdom?

Couldn’t he have just tased her?

Can they tell the difference between a taser and a gun? You never know these days.

I have to question why she still possessed a drivers license with demonstrated lack of cognizance. This didn’t happen over night.
