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.

I almost noted that in my post. Either of them should have been able to at least grab clothing or an arm and introduce Daunte to the pavement or the roof of his car.
Precisely. They are simply mercenaries for the highest bidder, not upstanding patriots with a strong moral compass. I have long said that about half would be violent criminals if they couldn’t be cops. Hopefully their detestable enforcement of the lockdown of our liberty has woken people up to this reality on the right. However, sometimes the blind support for LE on FR makes me feel that is unlikely.
I think that lady cop wanted to be accepted by her male counterparts as being tough. She made a real ass of herself.
I wouldn’t wish having to care for a person with dementia on my worst enemy. I’ve seen it.
This is not going to end well for these clowns. Hope you enjoyed the laugh, chumps. The lady LEO might have a case but it’s a thin one.
Yeah, look just upthread. Where I wrote it.
When you call me an azzhole, that’ll make two us.
I don't think I've called you anything. Two us or three us.
Yes, crazy aunt walked out with a ham.
You calling demented people crazy? TOTALLY insensitive.
We went back and paid for it.
Praise Jesus for FoodStamps.
Because she had onside caregivers.
As opposed to offsides? Was this a football game?
I pray that no one you know ever has dementia.
Pretty sure I'm talking to one right now.
My family did that. My mother was the best and nicest lady ever and got dementia. I still cry today thinking about it. Watching it broke my heart and my Dad’s heart most of all.
Mom died 2 years ago.
Nope, that gal was every bit as much responsible.
My mother-in-law had dementia. My wife went and lived with her for about 3 years until she died. Fortunately we only lived 3 miles apart so I could spend a lot of time there. It was horrible watching this sweet old woman go downhill like that and her death was a blessing to her as well as the rest of the family. She was completely harmless.
There is a special place in hell for people who would abuse a true dementia case. I hope these cops go there.
That is a pretty harsh response regarding a woman who is clearly having mental problems due to age. JUST BE DAMNED GLAD YOU ARE NOT IN HER BOAT!! But, if you live long enough, I think your day will come.
She ripped off a boat too?
You apparently just do not get it pal. God help you when your day comes, because it will if you live to a ripe old age. Good freaking grief what an attitude you have.
Do not feed Humblegunner. He feasts on working people up.LOL.
Your response at #45 is spot on.
“Do your ‘loved ones’ often rip off cokes and candy bars?”
I hope your church opens soon. You’re sorely in need of a come-to-Jesus moment. An elderly person with dementia easily can fall into the category of “the least of these”.
You prove your own case, you are a complete, utter, jack@$$. Go back to the DU site, you fit in better there than here jerk.
I think what he feeds on I have stepped in when out in a cow pen.
“I fear dementia in old age more than anything.
Has to be the worst thing:(”
Not so easy on the family either.....I speak from experience.
Is that Florida and Broward and Palm Beach police?
always wondered how police handcuffed someone that only has one arm...
