Three Loveland, Colorado, police officers are no longer employed with the department after their involvement in the arrest and booking of a 73-year-old woman with dementia.

Karen Garner suffered a dislocated shoulder, fractured arm and sprained wrist after she was slammed to the ground and hogtied during a June 26 arrest, according to a federal lawsuit.

The altercation was captured on police body camera video and shared by Garner's attorney, Sarah Schielke.

Loveland Police Chief Robert Ticer said at a news conference Friday that Hopp, Blackett and Jalali "are no longer employed" with the department but declined to specify whether they resigned or were terminated.

[soothsayer]

1. Hope there's a lawsuit there too

[Demovictory9]

9. big big lawsuit filed

[lpbk2713]

2. Three tough guys.

I hope their next career path involves using the phrase "ya want fries with that?"

3. I'd snark "bye bye job" but these guys will probably be hired by a different PD in about 5 min...

We need national, or at least state level, licensing bodies and discipline/firing data bases for LEOs.

4. Sadistic chumps. NT

[Miguelito Loveless]

5. These are not "bad" cops

They are sadists with badges.

6. The firing is good but the locking up is even better!

[The Wizard]

7. They need to be personally sued for damages .

Also sue the municipality for wanton disregard for humanity.

[Celerity]

10. they can't be sued, they have qualified immunity (ending that is a massive part of the police bills

we are trying to get passed and Manchin and Sinema will likely end up blocking)

[Ilsa]

8. And the cop kept claiming it was a good arrest, good takedown.

I hope they are ashamed of themselves.
