Imagine breaking the arm of a peaceful, smiling, elderly woman. Breaking this woman’s arm. As an untrained person even I can tell she’s not all there mentally. It’s truly sick.
You could see the confusion and nervous smile...this cop doesn't have the temperament or the observational skills to be a dishwasher, let alone an officer! 😲😲😲
She has the smile of someone who has learned when confused look friendly.. people with dementia become overly agreeable to get by or they become overly angry to try and survive.. Either one apparently get you beat up by cops these days
This is totally online you ought to be ashamed of yourself he really needs to lose his badge and the young lady that came to help him she said to they're sorry people they're just sorry you can't tell an old woman from a young woman why would you do that old woman like that just sad the way you people are doing you all need to correct your police departments
So who explains to him that he DOESNT get to BEHAVE that way EITHER.... That's cruel... She DOESNT REALIZE WHAT is WRONG. She's NOT aware she had FORGOTTEN to PAY for the merchandise.... I HOPE his MOTHER has a LONG TALK WITH HIM ABOUT THIS and explains where he's WRONG.
Well I wouldn't say he beat her up, that's going too far there. What's disturbing is how he's acting like an MP that's arresting a soldier or sailor LOL - just an old lady dude, apparently this is how he would like his mother to be treated 🤷🏻♂️. Who knows, maybe the family files a civil suit, hope they get a pretty penny because Officer "The City I Work For Is A Casino" apparently hasn't been trained in dealing with and spotting the mentally ill and challenged.
They have a thing called, Qualified Immunity. Thank body cams and CCTV cams which brought this punk cop to justice or they’d still be laughing about hearing her arm pop.
I am 73 with a heart condition, breathing problems, vertigo, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative vertebrate by my neck. If that officer would’ve grabbed me that way he would’ve killed me. These people are monsters!
I will pray for you. I'm not much younger, but still reasonably healthy and still work full-time despite osteoarthritis in my feet and right hip and lifelong Crohn's Disease.
the hemorrhages alone must have looked horrific even if this woman was a physically healthy 73 year old. she must have been black and blue all over. old people's skin is a lot less tough, their bones are more brittle, and everything takes much longer to heal. lots of old people die from just falling over - nevermind being tackled, because who the hell tackles elderly people?
First of all, the Walmart employees saw her leaving and walked her back in with the products in hand. Once she realized what she did, she offered to pay them because she had money on her. They didn't let her and still called the cops on her for $13 worth of merchandise. Priorities are all messed up in this country.
@@za.307 Karma has a way of being a bitch..... hope that cop understands that. He is destined to end up in a crappy county home with a miserable Aide who hates him and his family probably won’t care, as long as they get what’s left of his pension check.
I don't know about that. I've never worked at Wal-Mart, and its been years since I've worked in retail, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's company policy. If the worker hadn't called le they may have been looking at some trouble themselves
You can hear him near laughing at moments. Laughing at her pain, laughing at the power he has over her as a cop and as able bodied young man. He took joy in what he was doing. It's disgusting and psychopathic. He needs to be off the streets and in a prison.
If any nursing home worker or caregiver treated an elderly person like that, they would be fired on the spot, lose their license, and be charged with assault and elder abuse. It's time that cops are held to the same standards!
I got bad news for you it happens all the time and they rarely get fired it’s actually very sad especially when it’s hospice and the family just dumped them.
Wow the fact that he's out of breath after assaulting an elderly woman is all the proof I need to know he is just a bully. Tough guy and what was the crime? He spent NO time trying to talk to her or understand the situation he just immediately assaulted her.
I am a dementia nurse. Patients all say "I'm going home" or "I want to go home" because home is where they feel safe. That police officer will have caused a huge deterioration in that lady's illness. He stopped her from feeling safe.
But he’s not a nurse like you. I highly doubt he has any medical background, therefore he had no way of knowing. All he knew was she stole merchandise. When someone steals merchandise, you arrest them because it’s illegal. That’s standard procedure/protocol.
@@johnmartin4641 ...no excuse, not by any standard for these rogue cops to brutalize a frail old woman. I'm scared that you would even support these criminal cops!!!
I was a carer for both my elderly grandparents with dementia. I can safely say she was absolutely behaving like she had dementia or at least some cognitive disability. This is disgusting
@@milopurr5615 probably both being out of shape and being really excited. The whole thing reeks of him jumping on the chance to play out some power fantasy.
I'm literary crying right now. That's somebody's grandma! She was clearly confused and just wanted to go home. These monsters deserve to be in prison. This is literally elder abuse and they should be ashamed.
Some of these cops r working for the DEVIL hurting an killing people. They need to go back to when they were young an see if they had any problems because there killing people an they know there hiring racists and abusers .an the state should be sued over it an it will stop
This one was especially heinous, the poor old lady is suffering from arguably the worse condition in human history. And was subjected to such brutality and dehumanization. Where is the empathy, where is the respect for the elderly... I don't care what amount of cops are good, it's not a few bad apples. It's a few good apples on a rotten tree. And stuff like this just adds fuel to the anti-police movements. My heart goes out to this lady and her family, along with everyone else who has been treated so harshly and unreasonably by police in this country.
I wonder what would happen if everyone protested Walmart and only shopped elsewhere for 1 week! I bet that store policy would be changed. She should have just went through self checkout and only scanned 2 of the 4 items. People do it everyday and don’t get treated like this.
Police frequently treat people with mental health issues this way. That’s why I will never call police if I or anyone I know is having an issue. This country needs a better way to handle mental health issues.
Very wise. The cops are the last people you want around a person going through a mental health crisis. The most likely result of bringing a cop into such a scenario is that the officer shoots and kills the individual even though they lacked justification. There are tons of instances like this already reported.
I definitely think requesting medical assistance is better! My county added mental health workers to the police force, but I live in a wealthy county so of course they want to avoid dealing with cops
My mother has dementia and she would fight back so hard, and this shit is so sick. How would they not come to the conclusion that she has some form of alter mental status
My mother used to work with dementia residents for 17 years. I literally cried watching this video because this is definitely disgusting shameful behavior by the police.

@@MrHappyface an elderly person it is best to approach them from front and introduce yourself. Clearly ask questions and state your business. This gives you an opportunity to Discern where they are mentally. Approaching from behind with a raised voice frightened her causing her to become defensive.
It broke my heart to hear her saying "I'm going hooome" almost in a wail. Just because someone doesn't say the words "I'm scared and confused," doesn't mean that not exactly what they're trying to say to you. Heartbreaking.
@@porshprix4286 Well, with all the over-the-top aggressive behavior of cops, it's a high probability that he has no issue with abusing his own family to make them obey. Elderly, disabled, or child.
@@Teddi-6 He was feeling his own excitement. Her fear was irrelevant to him and therefore wasn't about to get a word in. Days of Officer Friendly in the neighborhood are gone. People think traumatizing and abusing children and elderly aren't reason enough to protest police brutality. Makes sense that cops are continuing to show that they are needing more of the "you must obey me!" adrenaline rush. Accepting this is stripping the humanity from the duties of police everywhere. And their numbers are growing, not because of crime, but their need to exercise complete control from all perceived enemies. If there are good cops still around, they should speak up against all violence. These aren't occasional isolated incidents when they are occurring unchecked like a virus throughout the country.
Even if it was a legitimate shoplifter, there’s _zero_ reason for them having to throw someone down like that within 2 seconds of approaching them when ur life is not even _remotely_ in danger.
Plus it sounds like she didn't even take the merchandise out of the store. It was reported she gave it back to the employees and I didn't notice her holding anything other that a phone.
@@Omni0404 it's also being reported that she tried to pay but there was some issues with that. I'm sure her dementia and condition played a role in that as well. This whole situation could of been avoided with just a little common sense between Walmart and Police.
@@coltfathwell6185 No sir, I live in Italy, I saw the exact same scene less than one month ago. The carabinieri didn't arrest the man and convinced the owner of the shop to not press charge. They even searched for the family and waited until the grand-daughter arrived.
You can tell from her 'one' response (I am going home), that she had no idea what was going on. I am not a cop but anyone with the slightest bit of common sense could tell she was not fully aware. Except for a cop of course.
Even if that cop had figured out that she didn't understand, he would have assumed she was high or drunk, not that it could be a medical condition. They don't care.
You have the right idea. The cops need to be more aware of what they are seeing so that they don't mess things up this way. Poor lady. I hope she has family that can take care of her.
Not even a hint of humanity. Anybody would want to find out why she isn’t listening, anybody saw she had some kind of mental problem from 1 sec of video. These cops are purposely trained to dehumanize and brutalize.
@@jaipellegrin3526 You make no sense. This attack on an elderly lady is not an opportunity for you to pretend another issue doesn't exist. What we see here is an attack on some one who is without a means of redress, the act of a bully. It's conected to the act of attacking other groups that you know you'll get away with also.

That's because an employee took back the merchandise, refused her credit card...then proceeded to call the police. ALL of them are scum.
"Excuse me madam, it seems you have left Walmart without paying for your goods. Would you mind coming back to the store and paying for them?" Is that so hard???
@@Wordavee1 Wait it gets worse. When the Walmart employee got her to come back to the store, she tried to pay for the items with her credit card and the employee refused to take the payment.
My grandmother had dementia. Before we got her diagnosis and placed her someplace safe, she wandered from home. I’m thankful she never encountered such officers.
It's a power trip, he wasn't breathing heavily because of physical exertion, it was because of the excitement of having power over another human being. Classic sadistic bastard.
EqualSign doing his job would involve first assessing the situation. Not throwing her down like that. If the “leftist” way means humanity and actually asking questions to see what’s going on, then I’ll take the leftist way.
As a 50 year old woman with arthritis who can barely reach to scratch an itch between my shoulder blades, the way he repeatedly wrenched her arm back like that made me want to scream!
This is another fear I have of possibly one day being handcuffed. I go through physical therapy and am due for surgery for a shoulder issue which is quite painful on its own. It’s frozen to a short area of movement without pain. Being cuffed having my arms wrenched is a frightening thought.
@@mariagrenat6147 From what I know of rehab, the shoulder is the hardest bone to rehabilitate so follow your doctor's precautions to the T. Frozen shoulder though is preventable. You have a lot of muscles that atrophy if you don't use them and then when you try to move in that direction you can't. When you get everything fixed, practice some basic range of motion exercises and stretches to keep yourself from having to have to schedule surgeries on the other side.
it was bad enough up to that point but that took the cake & one could feel that immediate pain she would have felt. when the female officer came into view & did nothing to ease the situation was the icing on that cake. take care from downunder jb x
@@Paul-ue7fo at first i was angered. If i was there i would probably have exploded at that cop. But the more i watched the video that anger got replaced with frustration and incredible sadness 😓 I can't help that poor lady all i can do is just hope that cop will face the most harsh punishment allowed by our society. Just a lawsuit on the department is nothing. It doesn't affect him at all. To think he might keep his job and keep acting like this is frightening!
@Cloe Haynes this guy is a real piece of s*** you can see she's not right I notice that no cop has ever slung Trump on the ground and cuffed him and he lives in an alternative reality🙄🙄
That mentality has to stop. Mentally ill people and drug addicts aren't going to just listen and do what the cops say. They aren't all there. That's not then an excuse to beat someone up.
Can anybody imagine saying "why are you doing this?" over and over again to an elderly person and never once thinking "oh, maybe she's not at 100% mental capacity?" Infuriating.
I'm a nurse and I've seen old, out of shape, tiny Filipino nurses do a better job of redirecting elderly dementia patients. Without losing their breath too.
Nurses job is to learn to know and redirect patients/ residents without full body armor. What does filipinos have anything to do with this situation. The benefit of nurses is that they get full report of that patient and resident... so they no the full extent of their diagnosis. This lawsuit may not stick.
@@Blackoreanfemale what are you talking about? What does the training you get as a nurse have to do with the brutality we just witnessed??? Im a nurse too, and I wish I would try to justify this behavior from this pile of crap attacking an elderly woman...

I presume they say that so if they're no video evidence, they'll claim that the cop was defending themselves, at this point, it's probably just something cops do automatically
@@David-ng7cr totally agree, that's why having video evidence is so important, otherwise this poor woman and many more would not be believed and cops would get away with more than they already get away with
Aaahhh!! He didn’t rough her up because he NEEDED to or thought he needed to. He did it because he WANTED to. He ENJOYED it. You can hear the excitement in his voice as he is wrestling with her.

The profession attracts a lot of sickos who don’t need to be trained how to be cruel and unnecessarily brutal.

@@PeanutGallery89 Of course they know better! Joining the police force doesn't exempt you from being human. Your average 10 year old knows better. Maybe it's us who just never realised the reality of living with dementia?
Yep most cops become cops because they aren't liked by their friends and family really and they need to feel some sort of power and sense of being liked.

Tears flowed when I saw this. My mother had dementia and if I ever come to Loveland, I'm driving straight through. You won't have me buying anything at Loveland, Colorado.
I’m surprised that the cop didn’t try to arrest the bystander and accuse him of disrespecting a police officer. I’m even more surprised that the cop took time to give him an explanation and a complaints outlet. The bystander is a true American hero
“Right now you’re resisting.” Where? I missed that part. Law enforcement adore that word, resist. Gives them all the authority in the world to treat folks however they’d like.

Guy stole $150 worth of items off my porch I have video of him and his vehicle. I posted it on nextdoor found out the man lives less then a mile from me. I drive to the location there is the vehicle. I call the police they tell me to go home I call them again tell me a detective will return my call. I call several times and I'm told they don't have time to investigate someone who stole $150 in packages even with video evidence. Yet Walmart seems to get tax payer funded police to chase down old woman who attempts to walk out of the store with $13.88 of merchandise. Police serve the wealth in this country the rest of us working class are left with the scraps.
I live in England and was looking after my father until Christmas who has been suffering with Alzheimer’s. He was in denial when he was diagnosed. On a couple of occasions, the police brought my father home. They made me feel guilty, but treated my father with compassion. This footage is horrific, the cops are clearly ignorant to the fact. It had me in tears throughout. The saddest thing is that this generation was told as a children to respect his elders. You should be seen and not heard. To adhere to this and when it is their time, they are treated like this. It is just criminal.
I am canadian and thank goodness police here tend to be way mor compassionate this is america for you this country is a nightmare my grandma had dementia she passed away a few years ago this make me sick to my stomach hope your dad is doing well stay safe and take care
So proud to say this would not happen here, I live in England too. The police here grade offences, here shoplifting is at the bottom of the offence ladder, so there is no way they would have arrested her. As soon as she said she was going home, they would have taken her home. My Mum had demtia too, but we made sure someone was with her at all times, it was so difficult, because she hated it, but we had to keep her safe. This video is so distressing.
My mom had dementia, and fell, hit her head in the middle of the night, got a subdural hematoma and died the next morning. She was 73. This shit makes my blood boil. It is very sad.
The police are acting and trained exactly how they are supposed to the system of policing is operating as intended their is no failure unfortunately that's the scary thing the reason these things keep happening is because the cops are behaving as intended don't get twisted.
any normal cop from a normal country could have handled this situation properly. cops elsewhere care at least enough about protecting and serving that what they would have seen was a senile old woman walking dangerously close to traffic who needed help paying for her stuff and a ride home.
@@Ass_of_Amalek Because cops in other countries are taught de-escalation tactics, to be part of the community, and some countries even require a 3 year degree to be a cop. In US, it's a few months training and off you go harassing people. Most cops in my country don't even carry a pistol (Then again, we don't have shootings every day).
Y'all know the sad part is that if it wasn't on video she wouldn't even remember any of this. Hell she still won't remember this. All she know is pain.
The little good that can be found here is that America needs to know that there is more than just the rampant racism we have to deal with in this country, and that with all the tragic police treatment of people of color, that the problem is even more than that. Since most of the time the victim is black, this fact gets easily forgotten. The cases of white people being abused in this manner need to be entered into the collective awareness. If we somehow cured racism, we still have a nation of fascist police. No justice, no peace. ONE LOVE.
For that person to communicate such concern to stop and speak to the officer it must have looked very serious in real time. Thank God fo that bystander! Thank You Sir.
This literally makes me sick to my stomach. My 79 yo mother and 89 yo aunt both have dementia and I can't even imagine either of them being treated this way. My aunt is currently in the hospital and when I visited her yesterday she kept saying that she wants to go home, not the nursing home, her actual home. This poor lady had no idea what was happening to her but she knew if she could get home she would be safe. Both of those cops are disgusting individuals.
But the bystander, he's such a brave man with so much kindness. Much respect for him standing up for what's right even when it could have been dangerous for him to do so. He's truly a hero.
Even if she looked well, and wasn't elderly, why didn't he at least begin with a conversation? Why did he take her phone out of her hand and toss it on the ground?

@@AngelicVirgo i believe that but you can't compare this situation to your loved one. That said, I said "if she has dementia, she's in the early stages and it has nothing to do with her shoplifting".

This woman had no item on her , she was on her way home. She was no threat to nobody. Why do American police introduce violence and escalate every situation.
You could even hear the poor woman's hearing aid squealing. When hyperextended her shoulder joint when she was bent over the car and she said "Ow!" is when he dislocated her shoulder. When I read the article about this it said she now has like a posttraumatic shock reaction and will no longer leave her home because she is so frightened. This poor woman didn't deserve to have some of her last semi-coherent memories be of fear!
So, Walmart stopped her and retrieved their $14 worth of items and then refused to let her pay when she offered. Technically she did not steal anything. Please tell me why this cop felt the need to stop this little old lady and abuse her the way he did along with the other officer that arrived on the scene? Karma is a wicked mistress. I hope he gets his someday.
Any even remotely decent lawyer could easily say that her dementia means that she could not have formed the mens rea (criminal mind or intent) to perform the shoplifting act in the first place.

Imagine breaking the arm of a peaceful, smiling, elderly woman. Breaking this woman’s arm. As an untrained person even I can tell she’s not all there mentally. It’s truly sick.
You could see the confusion and nervous smile...this cop doesn't have the temperament or the observational skills to be a dishwasher, let alone an officer! 😲😲😲
He's uncaring
She has the smile of someone who has learned when confused look friendly.. people with dementia become overly agreeable to get by or they become overly angry to try and survive..

"You don't get to act this way!" says the cowardly cop that just beat up an elderly woman with dementia.
"Why are you doing this, ma'am?" As he does everything.
"Why did you make me do that?" - Abuser
This is totally online you ought to be ashamed of yourself he really needs to lose his badge and the young lady that came to help him she said to they're sorry people they're just sorry you can't tell an old woman from a young woman why would you do that old woman like that just sad the way you people are doing you all need to correct your police departments
So who explains to him that he DOESNT get to BEHAVE that way EITHER.... That's cruel... She DOESNT REALIZE WHAT is WRONG.
She's NOT aware she had FORGOTTEN to PAY for the merchandise.... I HOPE his MOTHER has a LONG TALK WITH HIM ABOUT THIS and explains where he's WRONG.
Well I wouldn't say he beat her up, that's going too far there. What's disturbing is how he's acting like an MP that's arresting a soldier or sailor LOL - just an old lady dude, apparently this is how he would like his mother to be treated 🤷🏻♂️. Who knows, maybe the family files a civil suit, hope they get a pretty penny because Officer "The City I Work For Is A Casino" apparently hasn't been trained in dealing with and spotting the mentally ill and challenged.
“After a short struggle” breathing mad hard after assaulting an old lady.
My god, I’d hate to hear what he sounds like going up a flight of stairs... wrestling that 80 pound little old lady to the ground about did him in
For real. He just pushed an old lady on the ground and he's breathing like he just ran a marathon.
Piece of shit sounded like he was about to stroke out. We should be so lucky.
Maybe he was getting "excited."
North Korea .
The way he talks to her is like he is talking to a child. He is having fun, he did this because he could. We are not people to them
They have a thing called, Qualified Immunity. Thank body cams and CCTV cams which brought this punk cop to justice or they’d still be laughing about hearing her arm pop.
To him. He has problems. I am sure other officers don’t act like this.
Are you talking about BLM or TYT right now?
More like an older kid taking advantage of a younger kid. Getting so hard to keep supporting those in blue.
These cops are the kind of people who enjoy torturing the animals at a slaughter house with extra electric shocks 'just for fun'
I am 73 with a heart condition, breathing problems, vertigo, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative vertebrate by my neck. If that officer would’ve grabbed me that way he would’ve killed me. These people are monsters!
I will pray for you. I'm not much younger, but still reasonably healthy and still work full-time despite osteoarthritis in my feet and right hip and lifelong Crohn's Disease.
I’m sorry you had to see that, and to have experienced what you did.
They're not people, they're police.
That cop should be fired.
That was sociopathic.
the hemorrhages alone must have looked horrific even if this woman was a physically healthy 73 year old. she must have been black and blue all over. old people's skin is a lot less tough, their bones are more brittle, and everything takes much longer to heal. lots of old people die from just falling over - nevermind being tackled, because who the hell tackles elderly people?
First of all, the Walmart employees saw her leaving and walked her back in with the products in hand. Once she realized what she did, she offered to pay them because she had money on her. They didn't let her and still called the cops on her for $13 worth of merchandise. Priorities are all messed up in this country.
Really. What a bunch of assholes. I hope they never have cognitive difficulties.

I don't know about that. I've never worked at Wal-Mart, and its been years since I've worked in retail, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's company policy. If the worker hadn't called le they may have been looking at some trouble themselves
You can hear him near laughing at moments. Laughing at her pain, laughing at the power he has over her as a cop and as able bodied young man. He took joy in what he was doing. It's disgusting and psychopathic. He needs to be off the streets and in a prison.
Karma is right behind him.. I wouldn't want to be in his cowardly shoes.lol
Make them pay for their abuse.
He is in prison right now because of this. 5 years!! GREAT!!

I am a dementia nurse. Patients all say "I'm going home" or "I want to go home" because home is where they feel safe. That police officer will have caused a huge deterioration in that lady's illness. He stopped her from feeling safe.
But he’s not a nurse like you. I highly doubt he has any medical background, therefore he had no way of knowing. All he knew was she stole merchandise. When someone steals merchandise, you arrest them because it’s illegal. That’s standard procedure/protocol.

Where is the empathy, where is the respect for the elderly... I don't care what amount of cops are good, it's not a few bad apples. It's a few good apples on a rotten tree. And stuff like this just adds fuel to the anti-police movements.

@@codybanks1556 Agreed, 100%.
I wonder what would happen if everyone protested Walmart and only shopped elsewhere for 1 week! I bet that store policy would be changed. She should have just went through self checkout and only scanned 2 of the 4 items. People do it everyday and don’t get treated like this.
Me too
He’d have killed her if she’d have swung her arm to fight back
Police frequently treat people with mental health issues this way. That’s why I will never call police if I or anyone I know is having an issue. This country needs a better way to handle mental health issues.
And don’t forget people of color who suffer from many “Post Traumatic Slave Disorders” - but I do overstand what you are saying Tricia!
Very wise. The cops are the last people you want around a person going through a mental health crisis. The most likely result of bringing a cop into such a scenario is that the officer shoots and kills the individual even though they lacked justification. There are tons of instances like this already reported.
The plan they have in place for the mentally ill is non existent. Many times they end up dead when police are called.
The police is the US r incompetent and racist to the core. No wonder defunding the police is a necessity in the US
I definitely think requesting medical assistance is better! My county added mental health workers to the police force, but I live in a wealthy county so of course they want to avoid dealing with cops
My mother has dementia and she would fight back so hard, and this shit is so sick. How would they not come to the conclusion that she has some form of alter mental status
This makes me sick to my stomach. I hope HIS mother is real proud of him.
I'm actually surprised he didn't tase her
This breaks my heart, my mom has Alzheimer's and she repeats all the time I'm going home. We have to stop hiring bullies (SAD)

My mother used to work with dementia residents for 17 years. I literally cried watching this video because this is definitely disgusting shameful behavior by the police.

I don't think there is any amount of training that can teach him the right thing to do in that situation.
@@JMosUndefeated there is, I did house to house in Bosnia , 19 in corrections, and now work in mental health. The training is there and It provides a great barometer for situation employment.

@@MrHappyface an elderly person it is best to approach them from front and introduce yourself. Clearly ask questions and state your business. This gives you an opportunity to Discern where they are mentally. Approaching from behind with a raised voice frightened her causing her to become defensive.
This brought me to tears. How would those police officers feel is someone treated their Grandmother like they just treated that woman.?
They’d likely give them a fist bump and have a good laugh.
It broke my heart to hear her saying "I'm going hooome" almost in a wail. Just because someone doesn't say the words "I'm scared and confused," doesn't mean that not exactly what they're trying to say to you. Heartbreaking.
I wonder how he'd feel if that was his family member being abused.
😢
@@porshprix4286 Well, with all the over-the-top aggressive behavior of cops, it's a high probability that he has no issue with abusing his own family to make them obey. Elderly, disabled, or child.
Me too. I felt her fear. Why didn’t super cop?
@@Teddi-6 He was feeling his own excitement. Her fear was irrelevant to him and therefore wasn't about to get a word in.
Days of Officer Friendly in the neighborhood are gone. People think traumatizing and abusing children and elderly aren't reason enough to protest police brutality. Makes sense that cops are continuing to show that they are needing more of the "you must obey me!" adrenaline rush. Accepting this is stripping the humanity from the duties of police everywhere. And their numbers are growing, not because of crime, but their need to exercise complete control from all perceived enemies.
If there are good cops still around, they should speak up against all violence. These aren't occasional isolated incidents when they are occurring unchecked like a virus throughout the country.
Even if it was a legitimate shoplifter, there’s _zero_ reason for them having to throw someone down like that within 2 seconds of approaching them when ur life is not even _remotely_ in danger.
Plus it sounds like she didn't even take the merchandise out of the store. It was reported she gave it back to the employees and I didn't notice her holding anything other that a phone.
@@Omni0404 it's also being reported that she tried to pay but there was some issues with that. I'm sure her dementia and condition played a role in that as well. This whole situation could of been avoided with just a little common sense between Walmart and Police.
Welcome to black America. I've been on the other end of that and never stolen anything in my life. It hurts seeing this on a deep level
Exactly!!! 0 reason!
In most countries the cops would have just given her a lift home and told Walmart to stop bothering them.
I can't believe Walmart actually called the cops! They already got there stuff back.
And it's in Walmart's policies that they're not supposed to call the cops for theft under 25$.
No they wouldn't have. Why do some of you just make shit up?
@@coltfathwell6185 No sir, I live in Italy, I saw the exact same scene less than one month ago. The carabinieri didn't arrest the man and convinced the owner of the shop to not press charge. They even searched for the family and waited until the grand-daughter arrived.
You are absolutely right, these cops are uniformed thugs.
God bless that man who went up to that pos and tried to intervene. He's got balls of steel and a heart of gold
You can tell from her 'one' response (I am going home), that she had no idea what was going on. I am not a cop but anyone with the slightest bit of common sense could tell she was not fully aware. Except for a cop of course.
They seem to let anyone become a cop.
THOUGHT SHE WAS HOMELESS?
@@leehalloway8787 Any butthead!
ARE THEY PUTTING HER IN JAIL APPTING A LAWYER OR REPRESENTATIVE?
Even if that cop had figured out that she didn't understand, he would have assumed she was high or drunk, not that it could be a medical condition. They don't care.
The lack of awareness is absolutely mind boggling. Not a hint of human decency. God help us all.
God has been helping. That's your problem. Time to fix it your selves.
You have the right idea. The cops need to be more aware of what they are seeing so that they don't mess things up this way. Poor lady. I hope she has family that can take care of her.
Not even a hint of humanity. Anybody would want to find out why she isn’t listening, anybody saw she had some kind of mental problem from 1 sec of video. These cops are purposely trained to dehumanize and brutalize.
I had to hold back the tears.
Zero empathy and zero humanity.
Even if he is or isn’t a bad cop he is a horrible human being. Evil and cruel
Nono. He's a bad cop. Would you attack an elderly lady if you were in a position of power? If you answered no, you'd be a good cop. This is not okay.

So according to you because this bully attacks a defenseless erderly lady other cops or indeed this cop aren't racist. Very logical.
@@jaipellegrin3526 You make no sense. This attack on an elderly lady is not an opportunity for you to pretend another issue doesn't exist.

EqualSign doing his job would involve first assessing the situation. Not throwing her down like that. If the “leftist” way means humanity and actually asking questions to see what’s going on, then I’ll take the leftist way.
As a 50 year old woman with arthritis who can barely reach to scratch an itch between my shoulder blades, the way he repeatedly wrenched her arm back like that made me want to scream!
And then picked her up BY her arm, which could have totally ripped the tendons in her shoulder.
This is another fear I have of possibly one day being handcuffed. I go through physical therapy and am due for surgery for a shoulder issue which is quite painful on its own. It’s frozen to a short area of movement without pain. Being cuffed having my arms wrenched is a frightening thought.
@@mariagrenat6147 From what I know of rehab, the shoulder is the hardest bone to rehabilitate so follow your doctor's precautions to the T. Frozen shoulder though is preventable. You have a lot of muscles that atrophy if you don't use them and then when you try to move in that direction you can't. When you get everything fixed, practice some basic range of motion exercises and stretches to keep yourself from having to have to schedule surgeries on the other side.
it was bad enough up to that point but that took the cake & one could feel that immediate pain she would have felt. when the female officer came into view & did nothing to ease the situation was the icing on that cake. take care from downunder jb x

Just a lawsuit on the department is nothing. It doesn't affect him at all.

“Right now you’re resisting.” Where? I missed that part. Law enforcement adore that word, resist. Gives them all the authority in the world to treat folks however they’d like.
They come out of nowhere and grab you with no explanation and then they cry resisting arrest when the person is startled
He told the guy who questioned him that she “attacked him”. Like when dude? Man this makes my blood boil.
My grandfather had Alzheimer’s disease so this is especially infuriating to me
They use that old cop trick with painful holds to get a knee jerk reaction or put you off balance to where a person automatically moves to stay on balance. OLD TRICKS!
She didn’t submit, that’s violent resistance to police
There is a video of these officers laughing at the station while watching the body cams.
"I'm going home!" Her pleas brought tears to my eyes.
You're not alone. Only a sadist would throw a 73 year old woman to the ground and put her in handcuffs.
This is just ridiculous
@@larryfoster8820 I'm 75 years old and was once a licensed Federal Law Enforcement officer. I have pretty much supported police and the concept of "law and order" most of my life, but modern policing has become militarized, brutal, and heartless, and I cannot support it any longer.
But she was "resisting", Richard. She didn't "respect" the police either, Richard. So........there's that.
@@DEPARTMENTOFREDUNDANCYDEPT yea, I'm all for law and order but everyone breaks the law at some point. Overtime it becomes tyranny and they forget their boundaries.
My heart is absolutely breaking right now. The look of sheet terror on her face was sickening.
I’m so proud of the guy stepping up to report the incident. We all need to do this!
He took a very dangerous risk.
Right you are! If we want to truly change policing it needs to be expected, respected and assumed that the police will be policed.
That just pisses me off .
Given he was so out of breath, I imagine he was pissed he actually had to make the SHORT walk from the car to the lady. This is just disgusting.
Disgusting: Another quality that makes America so appealing and the envy of the world.
He sounds like he's in worse shape than the old lady.
According to another channel, he saperated her shoulder, broke her arm, and strained her wrist. This kind of abuse needs to end!
Omg.. US makes me sick... Will never visit that crazy ass country ever again..
after he did this he took her back to walmart??? not medical attention. that makes this whole debacle even worse. is it correct she has someone suing on her behalf. was she in a nursing home or living with someone at her own home?
With the way he was breathing so heavily, this cop would've been screwed if he had to try and cuff someone other than a frail old woman.
Exactly 😡😡😡😡
Amen.
what's even worse is how he was scolding the lady during the intervals he was trying to catch his breathe.
I’m sure he would’ve murdered someone other than a frail old woman.
He would have used his gun!!! Probably shoot the person citing resisting arrest and he feared for his life! Hey TYT are you approaching the policy makers yet! Do you have a campaign set up?
This is so gross. It is upsetting. The fact that it is all over $13.88 from Walmart is just crazy.
Even without her condition, you do not treat an old person like this. Must be bragging to his colleagues how he beat up an old lady!! This policeman should be jailed!!
Guy stole $150 worth of items off my porch I have video of him and his vehicle. I posted it on nextdoor found out the man lives less then a mile from me. I drive to the location there is the vehicle. I call the police they tell me to go home I call them again tell me a detective will return my call. I call several times and I'm told they don't have time to investigate someone who stole $150 in packages even with video evidence. Yet Walmart seems to get tax payer funded police to chase down old woman who attempts to walk out of the store with $13.88 of merchandise. Police serve the wealth in this country the rest of us working class are left with the scraps.
The defund the police movement is working so you should be happy
@@dontbeasheep2111 Aww...butt hurt?
We get left with the beating.
I live in England and was looking after my father until Christmas who has been suffering with Alzheimer’s. He was in denial when he was diagnosed. On a couple of occasions, the police brought my father home. They made me feel guilty, but treated my father with compassion. This footage is horrific, the cops are clearly ignorant to the fact. It had me in tears throughout. The saddest thing is that this generation was told as a children to respect his elders. You should be seen and not heard. To adhere to this and when it is their time, they are treated like this. It is just criminal.
I am canadian and thank goodness police here tend to be way mor compassionate this is america for you this country is a nightmare my grandma had dementia she passed away a few years ago this make me sick to my stomach hope your dad is doing well stay safe and take care
So proud to say this would not happen here, I live in England too. The police here grade offences, here shoplifting is at the bottom of the offence ladder, so there is no way they would have arrested her. As soon as she said she was going home, they would have taken her home. My Mum had demtia too, but we made sure someone was with her at all times, it was so difficult, because she hated it, but we had to keep her safe. This video is so distressing.
My mom had dementia, and fell, hit her head in the middle of the night, got a subdural hematoma and died the next morning. She was 73. This shit makes my blood boil. It is very sad.
They should not be dealing with non violent people ever. This is a failure of training and basic human empathy.
The police are acting and trained exactly how they are supposed to the system of policing is operating as intended their is no failure unfortunately that's the scary thing the reason these things keep happening is because the cops are behaving as intended don't get twisted.
any normal cop from a normal country could have handled this situation properly. cops elsewhere care at least enough about protecting and serving that what they would have seen was a senile old woman walking dangerously close to traffic who needed help paying for her stuff and a ride home.
Who said they were human?
@@Ass_of_Amalek Because cops in other countries are taught de-escalation tactics, to be part of the community, and some countries even require a 3 year degree to be a cop. In US, it's a few months training and off you go harassing people.
Most cops in my country don't even carry a pistol (Then again, we don't have shootings every day).
This is part of what Defunding the cops is about 👍🏼
Y'all know the sad part is that if it wasn't on video she wouldn't even remember any of this. Hell she still won't remember this. All she know is pain.
The little good that can be found here is that America needs to know that there is more than just the rampant racism we have to deal with in this country, and that with all the tragic police treatment of people of color, that the problem is even more than that. Since most of the time the victim is black, this fact gets easily forgotten. The cases of white people being abused in this manner need to be entered into the collective awareness. If we somehow cured racism, we still have a nation of fascist police.
No justice, no peace. ONE LOVE.
And there is probably hundreds of cases like this that has not been recoded or not leaked out yet.
But we know and we know this could happen to us
The cop would have forgotten about it too..because he would have gotten away with it.
It likely snowballed her into a complex of people mistrust. It would have been men only but a female cop got involved.
I'm really glad Venk brought up that the language is the same as an abuser in a relationship. It totally is.
For that person to communicate such concern to stop and speak to the officer it must have looked very serious in real time. Thank God fo that bystander! Thank You Sir.
This literally makes me sick to my stomach. My 79 yo mother and 89 yo aunt both have dementia and I can't even imagine either of them being treated this way. My aunt is currently in the hospital and when I visited her yesterday she kept saying that she wants to go home, not the nursing home, her actual home. This poor lady had no idea what was happening to her but she knew if she could get home she would be safe. Both of those cops are disgusting individuals.
But the bystander, he's such a brave man with so much kindness. Much respect for him standing up for what's right even when it could have been dangerous for him to do so. He's truly a hero.
Even if she looked well, and wasn't elderly, why didn't he at least begin with a conversation? Why did he take her phone out of her hand and toss it on the ground?
Great question! He didn't want to be recorded or for her to call for help!
@@christinebuckingham8369 wow you are probably right. so then this is what officers are trained to do???? not on how to diffuse certain situations? hhhmm!! let us hope a positive correction of behaviour comes out of the guilty 3x verdict of chauvin. take care yourself. from downunder jb
Exactly. No attempt to catch up, find out of he had the right persu, what sex happeni,if the person was in disyress, had hearing problem, mental health issues, was ill. No rugby tackle them to the ground ,tighten the living daylights out of them, make a mountain out of a mole hill. I don't think the word de-escalation is part of their training or vocabulary
@@IIII...... How about try a bit harder. You are sick.
@@IIII...... You are right, he totally gave a one sentence command to an old woman. When she didn't submit to him, he tackled her. So EqualSign, if this was your mother who had her shoulder dislocated because of this, do you still think you would be trolling on TH-cam reply's saying how justified he was?
My grandad had dementia for a year before he died, watching this made me very upset thinking what if this happened to him. That poor lady I hope her family takes justice.
My mom had dementia before she passed away. I thought of her too.
I'd imagine you wouldn't leave your grandad to his own devices knowing he's got dementia. When my aunt developed alzheimers, family was with her 24/7, mostly her daughter.
@@q.t.gamingfamily no before we got him in a nursing home (which my family and I didn't want to do) he would walk around knowing one mind where he was or going next minute he didn't know where was or he'll be going up to his brother's house (which was the home for them growing up) asking where their mother or father were. It was worst at night my family and I would sleepover at his house, one of the nights I was with him we ended up walking around the town at half 3 in the morning.
@@AngelicVirgo i believe that but you can't compare this situation to your loved one. That said, I said "if she has dementia, she's in the early stages and it has nothing to do with her shoplifting". I also said "shoplifting or no, she ordered to pay and she never left the store, why not allow her to pay then ban her from the store if punishment still needed. Do we really have to lock up EVERYONE?" What did I say you actually disagree with?
Shocking to watch. Those 3 officers definitely need to be in prison for 10 years.
Even laughing about it wgen watching their bodycams afterwards is sickening.
Name and shamd this 3 officers.
The woman joined and started attacking her too. It's definitely the training. Even the second officer wasn't like "Hold on, she seems confused"
It’s that bad
@Sadiq Avdulmateen I know you couldn't train me to be like that cause it isn't in my nature its simple as that..no excuse you're either a good person or a bad person. Imagine that woman being your mother or grandmother? Crazy people!
I’m elderly & have been abused as a child & adult. This abuse by the cop of this delicate little woman hurt my heart.
I'm sorry you had experienced abuse throughout your life :( I genuinely hope you have good people in your life now and have some sort of peace. If not, I pray you will find that peace to comfort your soul. 💌
If they'll do this to a 70+ year old white woman........you know damn well us people of color don't stand a chance! My heart goes out to this women, because that could've been my grandmother!!!?
Right? Like they said, that bystander was so brave to confront that piece of shit cop. I'm surprised he didn't get beaten and arrested for questioning the almighty lawman.
That could be everyone’s grandmother or great grandmother! Absolutely ridiculous!!!!
Not everything is about you, or about race. Exactly how the "victimhood" works as well..
Exactly, if we didn't exist, they would turn on each other ,just like this bc these people are power hungry sociopath
@@sourod considering how many victims there have been of pointless police violence, people of color have a legitimate grievance. Race is pretty important when you've got a knee on your neck because of it.
This woman had no item on her , she was on her way home. She was no threat to nobody. Why do American police introduce violence and escalate every situation.
the entire system does this
You could even hear the poor woman's hearing aid squealing. When hyperextended her shoulder joint when she was bent over the car and she said "Ow!" is when he dislocated her shoulder. When I read the article about this it said she now has like a posttraumatic shock reaction and will no longer leave her home because she is so frightened. This poor woman didn't deserve to have some of her last semi-coherent memories be of fear!
That's so sad..those cowardly assholes need to be fired& jail time!!
So, Walmart stopped her and retrieved their $14 worth of items and then refused to let her pay when she offered. Technically she did not steal anything. Please tell me why this cop felt the need to stop this little old lady and abuse her the way he did along with the other officer that arrived on the scene? Karma is a wicked mistress. I hope he gets his someday.
Any even remotely decent lawyer could easily say that her dementia means that she could not have formed the mens rea (criminal mind or intent) to perform the shoplifting act in the first place.
@@c0mf0rta61ynum6 Thank you!
Sorry to burst your "karma" bubble; karma does not exist. George Bush senior, one of the biggest war criminals in modern history died of old age, in sumptuous luxury, in his bed, sorrounded by his family even though he is responsible for the death of tens of thousands of children in the Middle East. So much for karma...

As I understand it, karma is exacted in the next cycle/life. One can only hope.

@@irishhi8333 I understood the platitudes to which you were, and are now, referring. And my point is not to discuss those platitudes with you or anyone else because they are as real and as efficient in fighting crime and injustice as is the Bat-Signal.

Many years ago when I was done with high school I was thinking about becoming a police officer. My father refused to support me on this decision. I am for ever thankful to my father for that. Instead, I became an educator. One of the most rewarding careers any one can choose.
Me too. I was a teacher for 25 years. I loved (almost) every day of it.
Europeans are starting to get whiplash from all the headshaking
I'd heard earlier that she suffered a broken arm and dislocated shoulder, then they left her sitting in a cold cell for hours without getting her medical assistance. Bad cops all around, not just these two.
Hence defund the police but right winger racists pretend they back police and brainwash sheep to believe defunding the police means unsafe streets. Humans are so easy to fool that's why racist and bigots run this country.
This reminds me of the bullies from elementary school that would hold your arms and make you hit yourself and then say to you, Why are you hitting yourself ? Sad.
Gord M., this speaks to more than just the two officers involved. This goes straight to the top. Time to demand resignations. I also haven't heard so much as one apology from that police department.
Smh
Wow, this is how you treat an elderly woman with dementia?! She was unarmed and fragile. My grandma had dementia, and I would have been pissed if this happened to her.
She was armed with a little flower she had picked 🥺🥺🥺she looks like my mum so I am heartbroken and FUMING at the same time. 😓
I hope this coward was charged for his despicable behaviour!!!
"Get down", "On the ground", "On the ground", "Stand up", "Stay on the ground", "Let's stand up", "STAND UP! We're not going to hold you!", "On the ground" . . . I'm confused myself.
Yep that’s what they do ALL the time. They literally throw a bunch of commands at you so that when u (obviously) don’t follow all of them, they can assault you and clearly get away with it
@@lemonpeel1410 I wonder if any suspect manage to avoid a resist arrest on the police report in the US?
It is pretty clear that it is an tactic from the police force for them to get away with escalated violence.
They do that so they can beat you and get you for "resisting arrest" every cop deserves to be ashes.
@@Fogel70 yeah and now with cameras it’s finally being proven. Imagine what they get away with when the cameras are off and they can lie about what happened
I know right
The saddest part is after she was back with family, after enduring all that brutality, she asked her daughter in a confused tone, "what did I do wrong?"
After all that, she thought maybe she had caused it. So sad 😞
@Still Sidda that's so sad and unfortunate for her.
A former worker associate's mom, who was 60 at the time, was beaten up so bad she too was traumatized so much it took a year for her to leave her home.
I can't be the only one amazed at how winded he is. No wonder why he didn't want to walk & talk to her, he couldn't. Pathetic
I have emphysema and I don’t get that winded, beating up old ladies. Wait, I don’t do that. Well, if I did, I wouldn’t get that winded
You eat a dozen donuts and try to move fast. Well can ya? Punk?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too many donuts
I wonder how he'd feel if that was one of his family members being abused.
Thats what I said, he is out of breath,he needs to sit down
They couldn't tell there was an issue by seeing how bewildered she was? Another situation the American police handled so well.
I was about to say that . How stupid does one have to be?!!!😡
There are PLENTY of other public servants that we "support" like teachers, librarians, and meter maids who would've know this in a second just from dealing with the public. They truly must be "trained" to just attack no matter what the situation is because you would literally need to go through intense training to NOT be able to recognize this for what it was in a minute.

If anyone treated her this way I would’ve relentless in my revenge.
@@margorgogo It's a culture of cruelty. I noticed that it never crossed their minds to show compassion. If this woman is disoriented maybe GIVE HER A RIDE HOME! Is she in danger of walking into traffic? Does she know how to get safely HOME? This never crossed their minds. Only a person that is dead inside wouldn't instantly think of these things. It's like they suffer from a spiritual death. We all have mothers,....right?
That was really difficult to watch... She was obviously struggling to comprehend what was happening.
This video brought tears to my eyes. I cannot even imagine how her family feels after seeing this. Seeing their mother who has dementia and at 80 lbs. pushed around in the dirt dislocating her shoulder. Sad. Very sad.
As a poor, 24 year old white mama's boy who still lives at home, all I could see was my mom and I had to stop the video because I broke down crying.

My adult brother has had type1 diabetes since he was 2 years old. One of my nightmares is that he gets pulled over while his sugar is plummetting.
