Did you see the part where they read that police officers should not attempt to play psychiatrist. How do you tell a person high on drugs that looks like a mess from a legit older person with dementia? A police officer is supposed to be a doctor that can tell one from the other in a glance? Should a younger person with schizophrenia be allowed to walk away from trying to commit a crime due to their disability? Who makes that decision at the moment and place, not from a desk? If the officer is guilty of trying to detain her, then Walmart is also guilty for calling the police on her.

As a former IHSS caretaker who had to care for many elderly folks with dementia (including my own mother until she passed), this absolutely infuriated me. It takes so, so little to do permanent harm to these folks (my mother died from a subdermal hematoma after slipping and falling in the bathroom). I always imagined our basic human instinct is to treat our elderly peers with as much care and caution as possible. The conduct of these officers would be unthinkable for nearly anyone else; even hardened criminals probably show more basic human decency to their elders than these scumbag officers.

[@backroadsusa6915]

I don't understand why there was not a lawsuit against Walmart.

[@GR-bn3xj]

Obviously no one here has ever worked retail. Not defending the treatment of her by the police but let's see how everyone acts if someone comes in a store you own and steals from you and see how you act. We have the benefit of hindsight. Did anyone in the video know she had dementia at the time? Had she not shoplifted, none of this would have happened. Do you know how many people who steal, claim they just "forgot"? Now, once it becomes clear this lady is old, has mental issues etc this should have gone a completely different way. While it's truly a sad video to watch and see her get treated this way, unfortunately no one knew anything about the situation as it happened. I watch video after video and it seems a small thing always is turned into a bigger thing and escalates. In almost every case, we know if things now that the people in the video didn't know at the time. It would seem people should take away a few things. One, the police dispatch needs to inform their officers better. Many times they have no idea what is actually going on and make bad assumptions. In this case, the cop gets a call of a shop lifter and views it as an uncooperative suspect who is trying to flee. The police officer should have been smarter but simply wasn't, but had he known the "shoplifter' was an old lady with dementia before the call, I can't help but think this would have gone better. Citizens also need to not break the law. They put themselves in situations that allow police to make these calls. Now, we know this old lady had no clue what she was doing, but technically she did shoplift. Once you walk out the door with the merchandise, you put yourself in position to be at the mercy of the police or store security. We can't trust that these people are going to make the right call so don't put yourself in that position. There are many other videos where people technically break the law but the reaction by the police is over dramatic. Understand, this isn't defending the police in their actions just saying no one would be there if they had not have done certain things or broken certain laws. We don't allow the police the luxury or the excuse of incompetence or ignorance of the law, so that has to also apply to people when they break laws. It seems in most of these videos the breakdown happens after the offense and it's the reaction of the police and usually the overreaction of the police that makes these videos. That can lead to other questions, like why are police overreacting so much in cases like this. I think we have to look at the quality of the police officers we have now (as in this case, the officer made a huge wrong call) but we also have to look at the job they have to do and the bs stories they hear. Overreaction to small cases is a very common theme in these videos. Knowing what the other cases are that make people think like this to me is also important to understand, is it just incompetent police or is there justification sometimes bc the last 3 cases like it led to something else? My best advice is don't put yourself in a position where a cop has to get involved. Sometimes easier said than done but and so many videos the people in the video did something that had the police brought out to start an unfortunate chain of events. Again, it doesn't justify the behavior by the police, just my two cents
