Sick moment cops LAUGH at bodycam of them breaking dementia-sufferer’s arm after she forgot to pay $13 for groceries
DISTURBING video shows two cops, under investigation for their violent arrest of a dementia sufferer, laughing as they watched body-cam footage of it.
They appeared to be celebrating after the 73-year-old Karen Gurner was left with a dislocated shoulder and fractured arm, having been tackled to the ground for forgetting to pay $13 at a Colorado Walmart.
The arresting officer, Hopp, has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation, Loveland police said on Thursday..
Meanwhile, Jalali and Metzler have been reassigned to administrative duties.
