Arrested – Charges
Shocking footage has surfaced from Colorado featuring police officers Austin Hopp and Daria Jalali from Loveland Police Department. The two cops were suspended and reassigned respectively on April 16, 2021, for their use of brutal force while arresting 73-year-old Karen Garner. The new footage shows them seated at their desks at the police precinct while enjoying the bodycam footage of injuring the elderly woman with dementia while arresting her.
The two officers laughed and even fist-bumped each other over the successful arrest, during which they dislocated the woman’s shoulder trying to handcuff her. A previous video released by Garner’s attorney shows the bodycam footage of her arrest on June 26, 2020, after she forgot to pay $13.38 for her items at Walmart.
In the new footage, the officers are seemingly enjoying the video of Garner’s arrest as they say that it went well. Hopp, Jalali, and another officer can be seen gathered around a computer watching the footage.
“Ready for the pop?” Hopp can be heard asking Jalali, and later explaining that her shoulder was probably dislocated. “I can’t believe I threw a 73-year-old to the ground,” he said.
“It’s like live TV… Body cams are my favorite thing to watch, I could watch Livestream body-cams all day,” Jalali is heard interrupting. Their ‘feat’ of arresting the woman who they dubbed to be ‘flexible’ for her age was lauded by the third officer who said, “Impressive, buddy.”
All the while, Garner was detained in a cell – handcuffed, confused, and alone, while crying in pain. She was kept for six hours without any medical attention.
The sound of the footage was enhanced by a sound engineer hired by Garner’s family. This was how the audio of the video was amplified and the conversation between the cops could be heard.
