3 officers resign in rough arrest of woman with dementia | NEWS10 ABC
This disgusts and enrages me to no end. There is a deeply serious problem with the police in this country and it just gets worse and worse. This is not a mistake or error, this is willful and intentional aggression and violence against a person with a horrible illness. Absolutely disgusting.
This woman behaves like a typical person with dementia - I know because my mother suffered from it for the last 6 years of her life and I was her caregiver. What they did to this woman has scarred her for the rest of her life which is likely now going to be shorter than it would have been due to the trauma and mental stress she will live with for the rest of her life. These people can't process thoughts enough to cope and deal with the depression this kind of trauma brings on. She will live in fear for the rest of her life.
WARNING - these videos contain very disturbing actions - consider this a "trigger warning".
