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.

Sadistic thugs left her handcuffed on a wooden bench in the cell for an while laughing it up. One even refers to her as "trash" near the end. Complete booking video =>

Jalali failed multiple tests throughout her employment, including ones for defensive control techniques that officers learn for both their safety and the safety of others during arrests. “She was given passes and she was pressed forward repeatedly by this department when she was falling below really where she should have been with the standards,” said Anna Geigle, her attorney.

Not very often you see cops use the "I really suck at my job and never should have been out there" defense.

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.

“She was given passes and she was pressed forward repeatedly by this department when she was falling below really where she should have been with the standards,” said Anna Geigle, her attorney.

I've seen that video. Given her neurological deterioration I can't see how they could have detained her without huge difficulty. Could the cops have handled that differently? Yes. But my main question is "how could that woman's family have allowed her to be out in public without constant supervision given her neuropsychiatric deficits?"

And my second question is "given Wal Mart's despicable history regarding minor incidents like this why hasn't someone sued them for billions over their "take no prisoners" policy?"

Glad her family got her into memory care. She should have been there earlier. It’s a tough situation.

Finally, some justice. If the elderly woman had been a member of a victim group the incident would have been all over the news 24/7 and the cops would have been guilty of 10 crimes and spent the rest of their lives in jail.

The life of an old White woman with dementia matters.

Yeaaaah ... I’m not totally on board with Trump’s stalwart support of all law enforcement. Just like I’m not on board with Hannity decreeing that 99% of the FBI are decent and honorable.

Sometimes w just have to think for ourselves.
