Three more officers on leave over arrest of 73-year-old woman with dementia

Where is the full body cam footage, I only see a screen shot and desk with cops laughing. If you believe this story based only on this article , I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn you might be interested in Buying. The video doesn’t even show anything. A lot of what cops do is get rid of crazy people and they come back in 5 minutes to disrupt businesses again etc. They know them on a first name basis. I didn’t see them throw her down, but would be against it if they did. However it’s more likely spin and she was erratic and she hurt herself, but not to the degree the lawyer mentions in article.

For instance I bet no one knew Sandra bland was driving around with no insurance for an extended period of time in That bmw and was pulled over on the regular for it and dealt with the court system. She continued to do so and her own l family and friends refused to come get her because they were tired of her antics. Now after hearing her own family left her in jail , you think it’s more likely she killer herself out of being mentally hurt by thst or being crazy in general, or a secret group of racist cops hung her? The news is garbage and most of the people who comment on this stuff are extremely ignorant to the law and say things like why not shoot them in the leg. Now I agree guns are used too often, but legally you can’t shoot to injure, only to kill snd aim for the thorax when your life is in danger. Both warning shots and shooting but not intending to kill can not even be admitted to and are illegal. One can only aim for the thorax when using a gun and that’s if their life is in jeopardy or they fear their gun being taken but the constant disregard for lawful commands that is only getting worse from social media. Instead of blaming the cops why not blame government and get them serious baton training etc, some dogs maybe. Maybe people who are qualified to fight and spend time learning how so their first defense isn’t the gun. because at the moment it’s for show and 100 pound woman isn’t stopping a 6’2 man with her 6 inch baton or mace. So equal opportunity and most qualified or most diverse? Which is correct? . What do you think these cops learn in 6 months, NYPD Jsut shot their own cop because they were cross firing at the perp who trying to pull the cops gun while on top of him, and close to killing the cop screaming for help.

It’s hilarious how people say more training, like someone is going to be proficient at fighting and learning the law and fire arms tactics in 6 months. In other states they make them go to an academy they pay for them selves and then go looking for a job, so imagine what a joke that is.

One people need to listen to commands, when you ignore them bad things happen, especially since we will never ever spend extended time or money on tactics and turning cops into martial artists. We already have cameras on them, maybe try not flipping out when they tell you do something. I knew better as a child. Also if you want respect give it. Also more credits won’t help police, they aren’t stupid, the government actually doesn’t like high IQ cops and you can be turned down for the job. The whole thing needs more transparency and the mayor shouldn’t be knocking cops over Eric Garner when he’s the one who controls the police dept, they were sent by his department to arrest him, how do people blame the cop only when he follows orders.
