Read the full story at cbsn.ws/3Qu6EMO ... Daria Jalali, the second officer to respond to a call involving Garner, previously pleaded guilty to a charge of Failure to Intervene.
She rather reminds me of a private investigator I use to work with - looks like her/acts like her/ deceitful/no remorse for anything, and would stab you in the back in a heartbeat.
As a human being, would she have done the same thing? Many times, law enforcement officials do not treat individuals the same way as the general public would, should, and could.
@Kissmyass32 That's a really fancy way of saying you are mad because I just embarrassed you and instead of correcting yourself, you prefer to continue to wallow confidently wrong ignorance. Cry harder.
What are you guys so happy about? Guarantee she doesn't get prison time for this. She just didn't stand there and watch. She participated in the assault. Assault is the *LEAST* she should be facing
The footage of them mocking her and demoralizing her was truly atrocious. I hope the family of the victim can find their peace, my heart goes out to them.
@@Leo_Pard_A4awwwww instead of acknowledging the gross negligence of the cops, you want to be mad about the civil pay outs. I guarantee you have no issues with qualified immunity. 😂😂😂
If it wasn't for video footage, the most they would have gotten was medical bills plus three times that for pain and suffering. Total would have probably been less than $50k and the officers wouldn't have lost their jobs.
A few years ago, my Dad with dementia went missing in his truck. He was gone for three days. Police finally found him when he banged on the door of a residence and claimed that "punks" were following him and honking at him. I don't know exactly what happened, but I suspect they were trying to help, not harass him. The police who responded handled him with complete kindness. They took him to their station and gave him water and snacks and magazines to read while he waited for me to get there. They towed his truck to the station and didn't charge me a dime for it. That's how the elderly with dementia should be handled. It tears me up to think my Dad was just one "bad cop" away from being brutalized that night.
I'm glad it ended well. But it is time to sale dad's truck to be honest. Won't stop him from wondering but can prevent him from going long distances or potentially getting into a vehicle accident. True story. A care facility specifically dealing with dementia patients had a problem. Their patients would wonder off grounds. So what did they do to help deal with this? A very crazy idea. They built a fake public transportation bus stop in the parking lot. And put up advertisements in the hospital common areas. The patients who wondered would be sitting there at the bus stop waiting on "the next bus" that was never coming and staff could bring them right back into the building with minimal fuss and with assurances that they had just missed the last bus of the day. Wish I remembered the name of the care facility. But this was a few years ago I believe when I read the story.
You are a product of your environment, you too can become a monster, how do you stop yourself from becoming a monster? You have to be aware and recognise at all times the evil influences that can turn your compassion into fear and abuse of your fellow man.
Yes not just a monster, but a wicked one. Woman are supposed to look out for each other, this male officer was showing off, she showed off with him, and tortured this elderly woman together.
If the DA was really going to hold the Loveland Gestapo Department to the same law and standards that we the people are required to, all of them would be in Jail.
DA working to preserve his job and future employment because of the national attention this event generated, and you know he's huddled behind closed doors to council that whole PD and protect their Chief of Police.
I remember this case and it was despicable the way all of those officers treated that lady. This law needs to be adopted countrywide to reign in out of control cops.
Taking down an old lady for $13 worth of stuff? $13!! $3 million in settlements, 45 days in jail, 36 months probation, 250 hours of community service for $13. Because you were disrespected? Cowards.
Sorry but the lady had dementia and she wasn’t disrespecting anyone she wasn’t in control of any of it and these low life’s abused her without a thought or a care! I hope they both receive there due deserves………
She even offered to pay money at the store and they REFUSED. If you talk to someone with dementia or Alzheimer's in 2 mins you know they have a condition. The Store did and still decided to call the cops on her. Then these scum bag cops break her arm as she is walking home and LAUGHED ABOUT IT... They belong in a place FAR WORSE THEN PRISON OR JAIL.
@@agoodnight1050no you are delusional or misinformed. For every 1 video of officers doing the wrong thing there are 10000s of ones doing the right thing.
Oh! I remember this story!!! I’m so glad these officers were prosecuted. These guys were bragging about taking this old lady down and hearing her arm snap, it was disgusting. They were acting like they had never been on a call before it was bazaar. And when random citizens pull over trying to get these cops to stop because that’s how blatantly inappropriate your action are you really should reassess the situation your in.
Maybe she will. How is she supposed to maintain a job? What a weird demand. What job can she get after this? Even the guy who btched at the chicken lady at the drive thru can’t still get a job.
Its Rare That Cops Even Get In Trouble For Their Failures & Mistakes & Evil Deeds , ESPECIALLY Female Cops . Also It Must Be MAJOR For The News To Do A Negative Report About Government Employees , Especially Law Enforcement . GOOD STORY ......But How Many Hundreds Or Thousands Of Similar Stories Never Made The News ? Nationally That Number Is In The Millions (Of Incidents Where Cops Do Bad Things To Civilians But They Never Got In Trouble For Their Deeds) .
The look of disbelief in her eyes only means one thing : "Why am I so harshly punished while thousands of my fellows police officers are doing the same thing nationwide every day?!?" 🤯🤯🤯
And they said, she's now a former officer ? Madness, when criminal cops are caught for their crimes, they just go into a different dept. in another town or state to continue their evil crimes against us.....Just saying that, truth matters !!
Hardly. When cops actually get prison or jail time, they are often isolated and never go into general population. Even when behind bars they are awarded special protection and treatment by other cops.
45 days jail is what I call an "abysmal failure". This woman watched another cop severely abuse, than laugh at that abuse and did NOTHING! The community has been DEMANDING accountability for several years now. I'm with the family....."this is just the beginning"
Maybe if we could go back to the eye for an eye justice system and make these cops punishment the same abuse they dish out they might think before abusing and violating the people that pay their salaries
Hoping this "officer" receives a warm and enthusiastic welcome when she moves inyo her new residence. To not take action was to agree with the abysmal treatment of a vulnerable person.
She didn't just "fail to intervene". She actively aided and abetted in the assault and torture of Ms Garner. She failed to provide first aid or get her medical care and deliberately left her in pain for hours. And then LAUGHED about it. Make no mistake, this is the minimum charge they could get away with and the derisory 54 day sentence is the blue line still protecting its own.
She acted how she was trained to act. Punishing her sends a message, but punishing her superiors and whoever else trained her would send an even better message.
@@stuffbenlikes, you have never had to deal with people not even under the control of their bodies, have you. They can hurt themselves, as well as others. Especially, while being cuffed. Maybe y'all should learn that.
I am so happy that this is happening those officers are a disgrace to their positon and humanity. I am so sorry your mother endured that, and I hope she is doing well.
@@gmsllc Surprising she got that, after all she has the woman card. She should be exempt from all responsibility with the woman card that's the tiered legal system we have.
I agree. She participated in the abuse. If I grabbed a person's arms and tried to restrain them while my friend beat that person, I would receive similar (if not the same) charges. Plus, she should have been charged with first degree public official misconduct. When she maliciously, with intent to cause harm to Ms. Garner by violating police regulations and/or policy. She was provide prompt medical assistance to Ms. Garner once she was in police custody.
@@catherinemartinez5542 I don't understand what it is going to take for this to stop. When I was 15 years old, I left Birmingham,. Alabama to attend a prep school in Northern Massachusetts. It was the first time I had white classmates. About 90% of them were white. Every time I tried to explain to them how black men were treated, they would give me blank stares. My "friends" would gently try to explain to me that I might be overreacting. This would go on until one of them actually witnessed an incident. They would be outraged and spread the word. This led me to believe that things would change when enough white people actually saw what we were complaining about. I could not have been more wrong. Even with all the videos, things have not changed In fact, it seems as though the police have become more brazen. What has outraged me the most is how many times officers have been acquitted. It seems like the juries believe the officers rather than their own eyes.
@@bluesclues3820 I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you saying that Karen Garner deserved to be treated the way those officers treated her???
She didn't fail to intervene, she enthusiastically participated in breaking that old woman's arm and later laughed as they watched the body cam footage as the old woman and her broken arm sat alone in a jail cell just a few yards away. I hope real justice finds them in prison.
@@codiersklave exactly.. Why did it take so long? How many officers over locked the same shit... Because they could? It's disgusting to think it's ok just because nobody would stop them.
This is the difference between government employees vs the people. They are held less accountable and do not face the same justice as the people. Its injustice.
I'm thrilled this ex-officer is being held accountable. In my opinion 45 days behind bars isn't nearly enough for what she allowed to happen to Mrs Garner.
She wasn't smiling and giggling sitting in that court room. The fear in her eyes told me all I need to know about what she was thinking. She now has to live a life of a convicted felon.
When I saw a video after this female pig threw a handcuffed old woman to the ground, laughing, I was mad! Yes, psychopath isn't laughing this time around! Good, what a POS she is.
I need to move to Denver😂😂 They seem to have it together. Hold cops accountable and still lock up criminals and if the cops go to far you can sue them personally
They were high fiving each other with glee . Then left her with a broken arm in the cell . Those two cops showed no compassion to a elderly woman. They deserve everything they got . This gives me some hope for police reform .
I think some of you missed my point. If she is a failure as a human being then she is a failure at everything else. I wasn't defending her as a police officer.
I watched the first video of the arrest and was so upset at the treatment. Thank you for the update on the second officer's conviction. This is becoming a major problem with officer's and being overlooked or moving to other departments to continue bad policing. I have not checked but doubt TX has this law.
Glad that poor old lady got her justice, thank God for the person/persons who created body cams and the person/persons who said let's place them on law enforcement officers.
To be a deranged misanthropic sadistic degenerate? If someone tries to "train" you to be something like that it's time to blow the whistle on it or walk away, you certainly don't join up with it.
You think she is an abysmal failure. The chief of the Loveland police made her look like a glowing success. He has moved on to new failures in another state.
So glad to see this...but how astonishing is it to live in a country where a "failure to intervene" law must be passed in order to protect the public from bad cops!!!
Judge should have jailed this pathetic excuse for a police officer for the same five years as her accomplice in crime. She is a disgrace to the law enforcement officers that serve everyday.
@@okok7895 We'd be no worse without them. In other countries, in other times when the police went on strike, there was no difference, life went on as usual. FTP ! Slave catchers ! There's only supposed to be ELECTED sheriffs. Even then they would still act like criminals.
When cops screw up their fines , jail and prison sentences should be harsher than normal citizen since they're held to a higher degree when it comes to the law they enforce and protect!
Yes! But also they should be more regulated and monitored(not by themselves or pro-pigs). It should never get to this point... but government destroys so...
@@jsmdnq Except anyone who regulates them would be, by definition, law enforcement. What do you mean not "by themselves"? An officer does not investigate themselves, someone else does. With your definition, a human being should never investigate another human being because its "Themselves"
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 She's saying they shouldn't be investigated by Internal Affairs, which frequently turns a blind eye to police misconduct or covers up for it. Rather, all police misconduct should be investigated by a civilian agency not in any way associated with the police.
@@BillySBC But Internal Affairs also often do their job. You just don't hear about it because agencies don't usually broadcast when they charge, demote, or fire an officer after an investigation. IA investigations work, but since they don't really tell you, you assume it does not happen.
@@patfranks785 pension? WTF would a pension cover for damages? That's like giving someone $10 for $1000 worth of damage you owe. Stop talking stupid. Taxpayer money is appropriate.
I lost my mom last year, and every time something comes up about this I think how much I wish I still had a mom to go shopping for. I’m most insulted that the cops would treat anyone else’s mom this way when they would be outraged if their own moms were abused. Except for not wanting my mom to see her son in prison, I would lay waste to all of them. Bust down their doors Amber Guyger style and oops them like home invaders. Oh my, that’s not my home. That’s what Amber said.
stop the bullshit people. I seen people stand by and do nothing while police beat their family members. you all would do nothing except go file a complaint and when a high ranking officer tells you it's inhouse business but don't worry we will reprimand the officers if they are found to be doing anything inappropriate you will accept it and praise the police. I love how people talk shit on social media but we all know those same people will do whatever law enforcement tells them to do . haha
A very long overdue and justifiable step in the right direction, setting a new standard ballancing the scales of justice for those whom are abused by so called law enforcement. Very well done.
Good for the DA and Judge for taking steps in holding police officers accountable. This should send a message to the rest of the officers in this community.
The really sad thing about this, is it's only been this recently that some sort of law was like "Oh yeah if you're a cop and you see another cop violating a citizen's human rights, particularly intentionally injuring them gleefully, you need to intervene."
@@Gary109 I feel bad that you have to live in a head with that level of stupidity... I hope life treats you well because you're not going to be able to help yourself..
Unbelievable you’re justifying a scumbags behavior towards an elderly dementia patient. ANYBODY treating the elderly like this is disgusting and ANYBODY who stands by and let’s someone else do such behavior is completely unacceptable. Than God for body cams and surveillance cameras.
Don't confuse her being regretful for what she did with her actually being scared and sorry for being caught, convicted, and sentenced for what she did.
Can we please advocate for more states to follow Colorado in this! I’m tired of seeing officers get off without any jail time if they do something of this nature to a citizen!
Bodycams are like the eyes of God, whenever an officer feels peer pressure to not stop a fellow officer when they're doing something wrong, they know 'God' is watching and will give them jail time if they don't do the right thing.
Get these oath breaking volunteers anyway we can, film them every second of the day, let them never know sleep and quiet and peace. Never relent holding these cowards to account.
The judge did the bare minimum. Imagine how long the sentence would be if a citizen had done what those cops did. They would be in jail for years maybe decades and all the cop got was 35 days in.
@@kenaaaron7122 Go watch the original video she was part of the arrest. She helped physically "restrain" Karen Garner when her arm was broken. When asked about the _literal blood on her hands_ she laughed and said it was the victims. That is 100% participation and she deserved a lot more jail time. A citizen who had done the same as her would be facing years _minimum_ for the same crime.
@anon4854 Once again, false. A citizen who assists in an arrest, even if it's illegal, would not be charged. The crime that this sow was on trial for is one where she could have gotten no jail time. They did not prosecute her for assault and battery they did for failure to intervene. That leaves the prosecutor to Blane not the judge.
@@kenaaaron7122 Then you admit now she was involved? If citizens had performed or aided an illegal detention, which would essentially be kidnapping and assault, they would have gotten far worse punishment. However, the police are afforded special protections meaning they are not prosecuted as a citizen would be. That's not simply a problem with prosecution that's a problem with the legal system itself.
This is horrible. Once they realized she had Dementia, that's all that should have matter. My mother had Dementia and my father had Alzheimers. They truly don't know what is happening. Unfortunately, she will remember this for a while. I hope she is OK physically.
Cops don't even have BASIC common sense. A couple of years ago, a black man was driving to work, crashed into 4 cars, then a light pole and just sat there doing nothing but staring straight ahead. I program for a living and am not a doctor, but IMMEDIATELY said, "Oh, he's having a seizure." The cops showed up and, geniuses that they are, decided to scream at him to get out of the car. I don't know, maybe they thought he was trying to steal the light pole! Being in the middle of a seizure, he continued staring straight ahead. They break his car window and continue screaming. He doesn't even look their way. They empty an entire can of mace in his face. Still nothing. You'd think one of these geniuses would think, "Wait, that's not normal. What human could take an entire can of mace to the face and not even cough?" It takes longer to get through beauty school than it does to get through the police academy. That's all you need to know.
Yeah man, my mom seems like she's getting to that point and it's a very emotional and serious thing and these people deserve extreme respect and dignity because that will be all of us one day.
The first time I watched that story I feel so sad. How those cops can't understand that the lady has some healthy issues and not treated her with decency.
They knew, they didn’t care because they never thought anything would happen to them because usually the cops don’t face consequences for their actions and behavior.
Bcuz they don't care they just want to put everyone in jail guilty or innocent, sick, disabled just lock them up is the way cops look at the public unless your a family member of a cop🙄
You should be glad we now live in an age of high definition cameras everywhere, because that is how these bad guys are getting caught left and right now.
@@BillySBC speak for yourself! Government doesn't need cameras watching everyone so they can always send you a ticket when you run a red light at 12am on a Monday night when nobody is around. Law enforcement for profit is illegal. Look what China does with cameras everywhere you dope!
@@BillySBC they're being caught on camera, doesn't mean they're then held accountable. This is just one of those rare cases. Courts have actually either ruled in favor of the police EVEN when there's footage of their corruption, or they're let off the hook with just a slap.
Ten years ago my Dad also with dementia went missing and I immediately called police and gave license plate number and description of my Dad and what he was wearing. My Dad was found by police and treated ( hopefully) with respect and passed 2 years later. Today that would not even be a thought....I would be terrified to call the police....too many bad cops out there. I NEVER call police for ANYTHING!!!!
"Lack of actions"? She PARTICIPATED in the abuse and then LAUGHED about it....I can only deduce that she testified against the other guy to save herself....which is even more frightening but shows there is a cracking in the Thin Blue Line. And that's a good thing....I guess.
45 days???!!! Now that is a huge failure of our justice system. She should have received a minimum of a year or two! That’s our justice system still protecting one of its own. It’s sickening.
Don't know what the law limits are for sentencing but this is a slap on the hand. ! year minimum for what she and her cops friends did. Laughing at this poor woman whom is hurt and confused and denying medical attention. The whole chain of command in that station should be prosecuted. It starts at the top!
She can only be sentenced according to punishments under existing laws. The fact that she was law enforcement does not permit a higher punishment for her actions. She would get no more than the average citizen convicted for similar actions. The problems are with the caliber of people hired, training provided, and PD leaders who permit/ encourage this kind of environment in their PD's.
This is only happening because it was caught on camera, if it wasn't on video, it would have been swept under the rug and just imagine how much all cops have gotten away with.
She appears to be from a Third World Nation , where they treat handicapped people like Livestock . She should never have been hired as a police officer to begin with , had they done a basic psychological test on her .
Good for you guys in Colorado..every state/city/county needs this law..this was disgusting how she acted on that call..she deserves everything coming her way on this one
This actually made my day. HOW DARE THESE SO CALLED OFFICERS THINK WHAT THEY DID WAS OKA6 IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!!!! The judge hit the nail on the head giving these horrible human beings a verbal bitch slap!!!!! It is definitely time that these bad apples with badges be held accountable!!!!! I’d like to believe that the majority of police officers are not disgusting like these women, but the bad ones unfortunately cast a dark cloud over the good ones!!!!
Unfortunately MOST OF THE SWINE COMMUNITY IS JUST LIKE THIS BISH. Sad but true. They don’t work for us they work for the court systems. They are the hoes the system is the pimps and we are the customers . Like it or not.
interesting how white people dont automatically "back the badge" when it involves loves loved. they automatically back the badge when it involves non white people 😑
100% agree with the mental evaluation - only 2 possible reasons why someone can just stand by and do nothing in the face of something this inhumane, ! 1 is they're a total coward and unfit to carry out the basics ( protect and serve protocol) OR a sick twisted individual that gets off on watching people suffer, and enjoys some kind of misguided authority to inflict such compliance tactics- painful or otherwise! If found as a sick twisted person, her punishment should be way more severely treated .
During nothing is the code ,if you want your job or not getting backup. This is how the cops treat another thin blue coward. One for all, all for one. Damn @$%
The video of them abusing this woman angered me in the most visceral way. I’m so gald that the community didn’t stand for it and they brought the hammer down.
@The Road To Mars• this is exactly the kinda crap that makes ordinary people hate cops. They tortured that poor woman and laughed and joked about it with other sadistic blue line gang members!!!
JUST 45 DAYS?!?!?! if a civilian did that to a police officer would they get just 45 days? The corruption continues… and the story makes it sound like she got what she deserved. She didn’t get anywhere near what she deserved. The judge gave her a slap on nothing more.
As an adult whose late mother suffered from mixed dementia, I found this entire sequence of events heartbreaking and enraging. Many police officers simply have no clue. Worse still, they often don't even care. Someone who 'acts strange' may very well be autistic, mentally impaired, or suffering from dementia, as Ms. Garner did. To forcefully throw a frail, disoriented elder to the ground? Brutalize them, and completely disregard circumstances that might explain the person's behavior? Then, joke about the whole thing on camera to fellow officers? This was as bad as it gets. Ugh. I sneered when I learned that Austin Hopp at his sentencing supposedly said he 'was having a stressful day,' pleading with the judge 'to see his humanity.." Like, the same way he saw Karen Garner's humanity...Yeah, right.
as a schizophrenic, whenever i have an encounter with an officer when i have a psychosis incident. they always pull their guns or have their on one. it is scary the way they treat people mental impairments or autism
Officers definitely need training, for sure. On the same token, the people they deal with act like this all the time. Hard to tell if they have a medical condition or are just acting out. In this case, however, the fact that she was elderly should have cued them that "hey, something may be different here"
@@tellurye -"... the people they deal with act like this all the time." -What made-up nonsense. Stop justifying violent behaviour towards vulnerable people.
1 Step in the right direction. However, until Qualified Immunity is Removed from instances like this and the accountable person held directly liable, including their pension fund, this is again a Failure of the Justice System to properly Punish those in power to STOP ABUSING the people they are SWORN TO PROTECT. When Police Officer have to PAY for their own INSURANCE against these things and power tripping dirt bags are thrown off the force, with also having the Departments Budget affected by these TAXPAYER Based pay structures for valid wrongdoings NOTHING will ever REALLY CHANGE.
I'm surprised cops would want to go to Colorado to work as a policeofficer. . I wouldn't. No qualified immunity?? No thanks, I'll work as a cop in another state.
The abysmal failure is the fact this PD needs laws to force their officers to step in when they see an old woman being violently assaulted… entire department should be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up.
Are you nuts? The judges have been letting legions of career criminals right back out on the streets after only posting $250 signature bonds. Meanwhile cops are quitting left and right because it's a sucky job. Us "citizens" are gonna be on our own soon...Have fun!
This has had me upset since it was first reported on, this woman aged and confused only needed a hug and reassurance but someone called the police to HELP HER what a mistake! I would never call the police unless I need a deranged killer to stop a deranged killer! Dam shame in this country we don’t have a choice! The majority of calls to 911 are for issues that require skills our police are not taught, WHY?
A whole 45 days in jail. Wow, I’m sure that will teach her. What is the penalty in Colorado for aggravated assault? That is what this woman committed, not to mention that she abused her authority. She should be in jail for years.
she didnt just fail to intervene she was in the brutality and the prosecutor and judge are all talk and no bite- 15 minutes of hot air followed by a shameful slap on the wrist - judge and prosecutor are just as disgusting as she is
