Over $13.88, CO cop beats up "frail" 73 year old woman with Dementia to defend Walmart

[AZLD4Candidate]

This is why I will advocate with all my power for complete police reform from top down here in Arizona if elected next year to the Arizona House.

This is inexcusable. The police department is being sued and, as shameless as Walmart is, Walmart need to be held accountable since the woman offered to pay (since it appears she forgot due to her dementia) and they refused to allow her to do it.

"Why are you making me do this to you" the cop says while putting his hand over his bodycam (which I believe should be grounds for immediate termination with cause). All abused people know that question, since abusers never can admit they are responsible for their actions, then make use logical gymnastics and arrogance to justify their abuse and gaslight the victim and anyone who saw it.

1. Cops didn't hurt her because it was necessary, they did it because they had an excuse to.

Or thought they could create one.

2. Rough yea but "beats up"

Really?

He wasn't covering his cam on purpose he was using his mic.

Additional training? Hell yeah

4. Broke her arm, dislocated her shoulder, sprained her wrist and traumatized her emotionally.

But yeah, she did say "I'm going home" after he said "Do I need to arrest you?" Gotta keep those lil old ladies in line.

15. My issue was "beats up"

I admit he was way to rough I mean obviously she needed more care.

Also the "covered cam on purpose" bullshit.

20. Even liberals have capo that will defend the indefensible.

You can split hairs over language. I'll stick to things of substance.

10. Cop apologist much?

So many of your posts are like this one.

[ret5hd]

11. Yep...that's all he does.

Then he makes assertions, maybe posts a link to some document that says nothing like he claimed, then never replies to questions about the claims he made. Cut and run. A regular Sir Robin.

22. Brave, Brave Sir Robin

Bravely bold Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.
He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
And his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Robin.
His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his penis
"That's, that's enough music for now lads, there's dirty work afoot."
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
("No!&quot
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!&quot
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!&quot
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!&quot
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

13. So...

So is it the polish on the boot leather that is so tasty or is it the chewiness of the sole that does it for you.

Again she is going home. She is elderly which should be a red flag immediately that there may be mental health issues there. Tackling her to the ground at that age could have been a death sentence for her witha broken hip or fractured spine.

Give me a break. It was $13.00 at walmart. You think Walmart wants this kind of press? She was going home. Follow her home you have her address and can petition her to court and handle the situation much more calmly.

There seems to be a complete lack of critical thinking going on here lately in regards to police and the way they do their jobs.

I don’t like it!

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

17. Critical thinking in my book

Is both sides.

But now I see somehow it's now walmarts fault.

18. C'mon, tell us...what's your rank?

6. "Why are you making me do this to you" - that's the refrain of every

abusive parent!

7. Fucking pig.

What a he-man and protector of the law he is.
Asshole

[Celerity]

8. wow, she is obviously not all there mentally, AND it gets worse. She was stopped inside Walmart, the

Walmart employees took back the 13.88 usd worth of merch, then refused to take her CC when she offered to pay for it.

wtf

[MiniMe]

9. Not to mention that she was stopped by an employee who recovered the merchandise

And wouldn't take her money when she offered a credit card. This is ridiculous

[niyad]

14. Absolutely disgusting. I happened to catch an episode of "McBride" last night. Opening scene has

him defending an older woman, hearing impaired, similar issues, for breaking the security guard's nose with her cane when he grabs her from behind. Judge dismissed the case against her. What the f'n hell is wrong with security guards and cops like this????

19. Some will claim the force was justified and lie to themselves about the necessary part ...

... oh wait, she's white so forget all that.

[kcr]

21. That lady is trying to stab someone? I missed that part of the video n/t

[uponit7771]

23. No, and Cop use of force are only justified when there's an attempted stabbing? no, of course not

[kcr]

24. So not sure why you'd think the people thinking that shooting was justified

would support this cop.

[uponit7771]

25. Never said anything about "that shooting", did you read my post correctly? tia
