Three more Colorado cops on administrative leave after violent arrest of 73-year-old woman with dementia

Karen Garner was arrested last June for walking out of a Walmart with US$13.88 worth of items, according to a lawsuit filed Sunday. Police were called and the arrest left Garner with multiple injuries, including a broken humerus, a dislocated shoulder and a sprained wrist, according to the lawsuit.

The four officers being placed on leave follows the release of video showing officers -- identified as Hopp, Jalali and Blackett -- laughing as they begin to watch the body camera footage of Garner's arrest. Later in the video, as officers begin watching, Jalali, who assisted in the arrest, says body camera footage is "like live TV.""Bodycams are my favorite thing to watch. I could watch livestream bodycams all day," Jalali says."Can you stop it now?" she asks.According to a YouTube transcription of the video, Hopp then asks, "Are you ready for the pop?" as Jalali covers her ears.The pop refers to something in the video, but it's not clear what that is.

"We are physically sickened. We are angry. Our hearts could not possibly ache any more," the statement read. "Once fiercely independent, happy, carefree and a great lover of the outdoors, she is now fearful, distrusting, reclusive." The 8th Judicial District Attorney's Office of Colorado said last week it has requested a review of the incident. The investigation will be led by Fort Collins Police Services.

Good. Fire them. Let the Garner family sue them.
