STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: This was one of the viral videos of police activity in 2020. Almost a year ago, a 73-year-old woman with dementia was violently arrested by police in Loveland, Colo. The officers have since resigned and are facing criminal charges. The woman s lawyer says officers dislocated and fractured her shoulder. As police departments face pressure to examine the use of force, this arrest has highlighted a problem. Police often lack the skills to interact with disabled people. From KUNC in northern Colorado, Leigh Paterson reports.
