Police break Womans' arm; City to pay $3 Million to her.
The city of Loveland, Colorado, has agreed to pay $3 million to an elderly woman who was violently arrested by police last year.Loveland Police Department (LPD) Officer Austin Hopp threw 73-year-old Karen Garner to the ground in June of 2020, fracturing her arm and dislocating her shoulder after she allegedly stole $13.88 worth of merchandise from Wal-Mart, according to a federal lawsuit. Garner, who suffers from dementia and sensory aphasia, was picking wildflowers on her walk home when Hopp approached her. The latter ailment is a result of brain damage and makes it difficult for those like Garner to communicate and process what others are saying.
Police abuse taxpayers, taxpayers have to pay.
