Colorado cops LAUGH about breaking arm and dislocating shoulder of dementia-suffering woman
Daily Mail ^ | April 26 | By MEGAN SHEETS

Posted on 04/26/2021 2:43:06 PM PDT by RandFan

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.

A statement from the attorney representing Garner in a federal civil rights lawsuit against the department said supervising officer, Sgt. Phil Metzler, who also is under investigation, knew Garner was injured and allowed her to be kept in a holding pen with no care.

This was so disgusting. As they all sat there and giggled about dislocating and breaking an old woman with dementia’s arm.

Freaking hateful bullies. They deserve to be sued and fired.

Didn’t even bother to call medics. Let her sit there in pain all by herself.

I noticed the woman is white. That’s why the media won’t touch it, the politicians don’t care and there are no riots.

White lives are worth nothing.

The woman has dementia. She was tiny. They dislocated her shoulder and broke her arm and laughed about it. She was walking along the road picking wildflowers. Geesh

Think of the reduction in crime.
Is she likely to rip off any more cokes and candy bars?
Especially with one arm.

One armed demented people have largely learned their lesson.

The settlement will be 100,000 times the value of the stolen items.

And she never kept the stolen items. Store employees took them back, at the exit doors. But they called the cops anyway. Here in California, shoplifters take up to $900 worth of goods and employees leave the shoplifters alone, fearing getting fired. A brother-in-law retired early from Walgreens because of rampant shoplifting by blacks, plus having been assaulted (punched in the face) by black punks.

Colorado cops are evil?

Not all cops are sociopaths, but a significant % seem to be.

I totally agree, a few bad apples makes the other 5% look bad.

Out of the tree cops reviewing the video, one proclaimed he ā€œloved itā€ while the other two said they ā€œhated itā€. That correlates with one being suspended and two assigned to desk duty. The female cop was cringing as she watched the video. There's no good reason for being that rough with the woman unless she had a weapon.

Do your "loved ones" often rip off cokes and candy bars?

No. They don't beat up 73 year old dementia patients either. How about yours?

Female cop seems most concerned...and male cop apologizes...that she was being pushed out of the action, and didnā€™t want to be seen as ineffective. I noticed the same kind of pushing to get in on the action by the woman that shot Daunte Wright. Maybe bodycam footage using being reviewed by superiors.
