Exhibit A for why body cams should be mandatory for any officer not doing undercover or confidential work. On at all times, period.
>> “My mom changed that day,” Steward, her son, said. “She has, since that time, developed PTSD. The trauma, in my opinion, made her (dementia) progress even faster.”
Doubtful.
But a horrifying experience nonetheless.
Why doubtful?

Should be - “left her handcuffed on the bench for an hour”
Increasing numbers of studies are showing that PTSD level stress can exacerbate/accelerate the development of dementia, Alzheimers and similar diseases. Just FYI.
I’m not aware of physical nor emotional stress contributing to the rate of decline. The daughter’s ability to predict the progression of dementia over time is highly unlikely.
That’s an opinion based on experience and a layman’s understanding of the disease. And I have no problem being corrected.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the victim had no recollection of the incident hours later.
Appreciated. I’ll follow up on the link.
Not very often you see cops use the "I really suck at my job and never should have been out there" defense.
Also an indictment of her department... maybe she’s angling to sue her department to recover some of the costs of her defense and fine.
Why is it that every time something bad happens, there is somebody with a name like that on a government payroll who is part of the problem or part of the cover-up? Only Keith Ellison goes by his "Toby" name.
Quite possible. Being a female minority likely had a lot to do with her shortcomings being overlooked.
Her lawyer also argued the she’s too stupid to be a cop.
“Her lawyer argued that a neurological evaluation of Jalali showed she wasn’t mentally capable of processing verbal and visual content at a rapid enough pace to handle the situation as it unfolded. “Her actions in this case were not malicious or intentional,” her lawyer said.”
I think it would be an interesting precedent if she were to successfully sue for the department giving her a pass repeatedly because she was incompetent/female/a minority. Would get real interesting for certain departments - they’d be caught between the Scylla of diversity mandates and the Charybdis of legal liability for continuing to employ unqualified officers.
She sure doesn’t look 73
Not guilty by neurological short comings?
To stupid to be a cop? Man that is an indictment of police hiring practices. /s
“I’m not aware of physical nor emotional stress contributing to the rate of decline. The daughter’s ability to predict the progression of dementia over time is highly unlikely.”
I deal with this concerning my Father. Traumatic experiences become embedded into their subconscious like firmware coding. They relive it over and over in their sleep forever even if their awake conscious mind does not remember it.
So they never actually sleep, and this does indeed add to decline because of the perpetual lack of any sound sleep. And here is something few know. Using any type of sleep aid does not work on the unconscious mind of a dementia patient. Their conscious mind might be asleep, but their unconscious mind never sleeps.
When my Father is not consciously awake his unconscious mind makes him hallucinate and relive events all night long. He never sleeps no matter what we have tried. Just doesn’t work. In fact some sleep aids made it even worse.
Absolutely despicable behavior. Very, very glad these people are going to prison.
