Three Loveland, Colo., police officers involved in the forceful arrest and detention of Karen Garner, a 73-year-old woman with dementia, have resigned from the department.
“I share the community’s concerns on this. It hurt to see that,” Loveland Police Chief Robert Ticer said of the body camera footage of the arrest during the conference. “I’ve been in law enforcement 32 years, and what I saw in there hurt me, personally.”
Ticer made the announcement Friday during a press conference, which came more than a week after a federal civil rights lawsuit against multiple officers and the Loveland Police Department was filed by Sarah Schielke from The Life and Liberty Law Office on behalf of Garner. Officers Austin Hopp, Daria Jalali and community service officer Tyler Blackett, who assisted in booking Garner, all resigned.
