Dementia sufferer, 73, screams in agony as Colorado cop fractures her arm and dislocates her shoulder after she forgot to pay for her $13.38 of Walmart groceries

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Dementia patient Karen Garner, 73, walked out of a Loveland Walmart last June without paying for $13.38 worth of items

Store employees stopped her at the exit and retrieved the items

But police officers caught up with her while she was walking back to her house

Garner, who suffers from dementia, appeared confused when she was stopped, but she was aggressively arrested by two officers

Bodycam footage shows her face down in the grass as she wails while being handcuffed; she allegedly suffered a fractured arm and a dislocated shoulder

A lawyer has now filed a civil suit on her behalf
And rightfully so. I generally assume the police were in the right, but they could have controlled her with a hug.
On Thursday the department placed arresting officer Austin Hopp on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation

Assisting officer Daria Jalali and supervising sergeant Phil Metzler have been reassigned to administrative duties, the Loveland Police Department said

SARCASM & LEFT HANDED HUMOR FOLLOWS
Given Liberal States seem to have the majority of the Violent Police and/or Bad Shoot, Crazy Gunman issues.

Maybe LIBERAL STATES should eliminate their police departments.

#2 No worries. She forgot the entire incident happen.

But there is some irony when those same cops sit back and watch when that Walmart is looted in a few days.

#3 As cops increasingly will be cautious about arresting "kellered people," they will have to work out their frustrations on the rest of us...

Not sure what beat that guy runs, because the lady cop wasn't having any either.

But if that were my grandma I would not be happy. Not sure why he went straight for a pin, not like she was going to run off.

#8 Yet another story about cops over-doing it. Are we seeing another media play here? My spider sense is tingling...

Over the long term, whether they show up in the media or not, I would expect more over-copping incidents, particularly in urban areas. The various anti-police efforts will drive the decent cops away to better working environments. That leaves the ones who enjoy being jerks. Plus more affirmative action hires like Officer Taser in Minnesota who really should be in another line of work.
