  2. This is DISGUSTING and OUTRAGEOUS and quite frankly PISSES me the hell off.

    My father suffered from Alzheimer's and Dementia for TWELVE years until it ultimately took his life.

    People who haven't lived through this have NO IDEA how difficult and horrific this illness is and the HEAVY toll it takes on the family caregivers. It was the worst twelve years of our collective families' lives and we are seasoned war veterans, people who have lost children to car accidents, people who've lost their wives to terminal illness, people who suffered strokes, heart attacks and several other serious issues, but 12 years of Alzheimer's and Dementia nearly broke us.

    To torture a family who's already dealing with something that horrific with this garbage has to be one of the most despicable and down- right nastiest thing you can do to them. Screw these cops, mayor and officials.

    I hope they NEVER have to suffer through something like this. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. They are as cold-hearted as it comes. This brought back years of PTSD just to hear and watch even a little of this video.

  3. I don’t know what’s the most worrying the criminal actions of those three brutes in uniforms or the that of the mayor and police chief in their feeble attempts to cover up the despicable behaviour of their officers. A full enquiry into this is required and ALL those involved need to be held accountable. That town must be a terrible place to live in with so many corrupt vile public servants.

  4. There is a lot said here about the police and i agree with all of it, a lot of people need shamed and fired.
    Howeve, one thing not mentioned is Walmart.
    Have they been emailed or phoned or contacted in any way to provide video, company police, and incident reports about this viral incident ?
    Have they instigated an enquiry ? And if not, why not ?
    Would they like to comment on this incident in their store ?
    This needs to go higher up the food chain, a lot higher !

  5. The cops were only doing their job. Didn't you hear?, the Hospital was full of people they had interacted with.

    This whole story is bizarre from so many angles.
    Why were the Walmart employees dressed in hunting camo?
    Where was the typical "Smells of alcohol" from the pigs?

    It does appear that whoever was replying to the texts was cautioning the Officer about the use of the restraint chair:
    "And expected him to submit. I would have supported us saying (no) he is in your custody since they strapped him to a chair. Is he calm now?"

  6. Watching from the UK 🇬🇧
    I am a veteran military nurse and when I retired I managed nursing homes for people with late stage dementia.
    I can't fully express my anger at this whole situation. The police are just mindless thugs who have no aptitude for lateral thinking. It's not hard to work out which 2 officers were bullied at school!!
    The Sgt ' normalising ' the incident to the poor mans wife is sick, guess who else shows this trait… psychopaths!!
    The wife looks to me like a lady who is emotionally burnt out with caring for her husband and she needed support not gaslighting.
    Just for once why can't there be a Chief that simply does the right thing and instead of defending them, he fires them on the spot, but no doubt the union is working hard to get them another job in a nearby force, while drafting their resignation letters for them.

  7. These cops have binarial talent of reading people 0: normal 1: convict. Any bevioral deviation from normal is convict and in their minds you can now hurt the individual as much as you can while arresting him or her whatever.

  8. I’m signing the petition for sure. Police officers need more training about mental health. Unfortunately they just assume everyone guilty and on drugs or alcohol instead of delving more in the persons situation.

  9. This whole nation should be reported to the European board of HUMAN RIGHTS . WHY IS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL KEEPING THERE MOUTH SHUT????? CORRUPTION RACISM LIES . YEPP FOR DECADES THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA .🌍🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🇺🇲👮🤢🤮🤮
