Body camera footage shows the shocking moment a female police officer laughed as she taunted a mentally-ill 70-year-old who locked herself in the bathroom during a manic episode.
The recently shared video, edited down from 90 minutes of body camera footage released last year by the Tulsa Police Department, purports to show female police officer Ronni Carrocia banging on a bathroom door as she laughed and told one of her colleagues: 'This is going to be fun.'
An Emergency Medical Service worker told the officers when they arrived at the scene of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on October 25, 2021, that the victim, LaDonna June Paris, 70, was bipolar and was having a manic episode and had shut herself into the bathroom, according to the video.
The EMS worker tells Carrocia: 'We couldn’t make her do anything, so we called you guys for assistance, and then she just took off.'
But when officers arrived on-scene at the restroom, Carrocia can be seen threatening the woman with a Taser, as she asks, 'Do you want to get Tased?' to which Paris can be heard saying: 'Don't do it. Why are you doing this?'
Paris can also be heard pleading with Carrocia, saying: 'Get away from me, get away, get away' after she rattled the door. In response, Carrocia laughs and tells one of her colleagues: 'I love my job.'
Soon, Paris can be heard saying, 'The cops are trying to kill me here.'
The Tulsa Police Department, however, has said in a statement that the officers at the scene that day were acting within the department's policies - although it noted that their communications with each other could be 'perceived as unprofessional.'

Yeah. Torturing the mentally ill is fun! Twisted bitch.
In the video all those officer were laughing. That poor woman is sick what is wrong with these young people?
The more youthful. The less empathy.
Never learned respect. Tie them up and tase them. They’ll learn it.
Real tough.
Cases like this are why the Department of Justice goes to Federal court to put police departments under Federal Consent Decrees.
Why do the sadistic types always end up with badges?
They will be old one day, karma is a bitch
They’re already mentally deranged. I wouldn’t say ill. That gives them an out.
This is dead inside, serial killer type shit. They probably tase cats and dogs for fun.
The officers acted within policy? Okay, then fire all management that would set policies that would allow this behavior. And fire the officers anyway because they clearly are clueless why their behavior was wrong.
“Why do the sadistic types always end up with badges?”
A certain youtuber I listen to seems to think it’s because these kinds were the types bullied in school now they have “power” and abuse it on others weaker than themselves.
So they can legally be sadists
Everybody wants power. Upbringing, intelligence, and education and a bunch of other factors, determines what you do with it.
A kindergarten teacher has power and that may be the pinnacle of their desire. They can use it for good or evil.
This scum chose evil. They suck.
Not everything needs a reason. Some people just suck.
Horrible! I hope that lady gets a BIG settlement.
And girlfriend was stylish on the job. I guess I am an old coot, but I don’t understand why women wear those obviously fake eyelashes.
No shortage of 70 women (the ones who graduated from being hippies to being Karens) that need to be tased.
Unnecessary cruelty.
“...hippies...”
Heavy Marijuana use?
All she did was laugh. May be in poor taste but that’s about it. Nothingburger
maybe she meant “ Oh THIS is gonna be fun” sarcastically- no one wants to deal with a mentally ill person who is off their meds.
