Police resign after unnecessary procedures injure woman with dimentia

Just another example of how bad policing is in the US. In this case the state of Colorado. 3 officers resigned after a being seen on body cam dislocating a woman’s shoulder and laughing about it then denying medical assistance when the 70 year old victim was in her police cell.

This is SO FUCKED UP.

She's fucking [b]70[/b]

What threat could she possibly be ?!

@BoobooSnafu No where near as much of a threat to society as the police who arrested her and dislocated her arm.

@justanothername some people get into the police force for the wrong reasons im sure , they love the uniform as much as their ego .😒

@BoobooSnafu as someone who was once sucker punched by a 90 year old with dementia I can tell you old folks can be feisty!!!

Somehow I managed to handle the situation without harming any elderly people.

@Doomflower oh yeah, I get that .
My mum told me stories when she worked in a repatriation centre.
But surely, three men against one old lady?

Unless its a deadly situation.....force isn't the answer.
