Colorado police officers accused of assaulting a 73-year-old woman with dementia last year are seen in a video released Monday appearing to laugh about the arrest and commenting on the moment when an officer apparently dislocated her shoulder.
The video, which was released by Karen Garner’s lawyer, came from a camera inside the Loveland Police Department and showed her being booked on June 26, 2020.
Lawyer Sarah Schielke said she obtained the video after Garner was charged in the incident with theft, resisting arrest and obstruction.

Nearly a year after Karen Garner, a 73-year-old woman with dementia, was forcefully arrested by Loveland Police officers after she left a Walmart with $14 of unpaid merchandise, an independent investigation has been launched.
The investigation announcement came just days after attorney Sarah Schielke from The Life and Liberty Law Office filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the department and officers Austin Hopp, Daria Jalali and Sgt. Phil Metzler who arrested Garner on June 26, 2020.
