Done, at least here in Colorado as of 2019. (SB20-217) The act allows a person who has a constitutional right secured by the bill of rights of the Colorado constitution that is infringed upon by a peace officer to bring a civil action for the violation. A plaintiff who prevails in the lawsuit is entitled to reasonable attorney fees, and a defendant in an individual suit is entitled to reasonable attorney fees for defending any frivolous claims. Qualified immunity is not a defense to the civil action. The act requires a political subdivision of the state to indemnify its employees for such a claim; except that if the peace officer's employer determines the officer did not act upon a good faith and reasonable belief that the action was lawful, then the peace officer is personally liable for 5 percent of the judgment or $25,000, whichever is less, unless the judgment is uncollectible from the officer, then the officer's employer satisfies the whole judgment. A public entity does not have to indemnify a peace officer if the peace officer was convicted of a criminal violation for the conduct from which the claim arises.

[@stevew3196]

I'm viewing this from an impartial standpoint. I don't live in the US. The fact Ms Gardner has dementia was not a critical element in her arrest. The bodycam footage clearly shows:- She was no threat to the officers. Other than saying "I am going home" and trying to walk away slowly she offered no resistance yet the arresting officer thought it appropriate to wrestle her to the ground and handcuff her hands behind her back. On arrival at the police vehicle the second officer applied leg restraints! Without justification the arresting officer grabbed Ms Gardner slammed her against the police vehicle where it's clear her shoulder was dislocated. He then wrestled her to the ground a second time where she sustained additional injuries. This is excessive use of force which the DA believes warrants criminal charges. From the time the D.A's office became involved it took less than a month to bring charges! It doesn't matter how many times Chief "T I C E R" repeats the claim "I support these charges". it doesn't improve his credibility. His surname has FIVE letters his name has been in the media since this travesty of a arrest was made public by Ms Gardner's Lawyer. Why Chief Ticer thinks we might misspell or mispronounce it is a mystery! I'd say having his name mispronounced is the least of his worries! Chief Ticer needs to accept:- As chief of police the buck stops with him. A suspect was booked into custody with significant injuries and received no medical assistance. No charges were brought and she was released. Her family engaged a lawyer who will have contacted the department. A lawsuit was filed. The lawyer obtained bodycam and cctv footage showing what happened from the department. It was only after these videos were released on social media that the department took any action. The officers were allowed to resign! In the circumstances Chief Ticer's statement that he took action "as soon as I became aware" lacks credibility! If what he says is accurate then he's failed as police chief because it's his job to be aware of what's happening in the department and his responsibility for the actions of his officers and the welfare of people in custody! In the best case scenario it seems his position as chief is untenable. Ms Gardner and the people of Loveland deserve better!

Now we need justice for Ms. Antanique Ray and her daughter Nekia Trigg in Forney Texas. The 18-year-old daughter, Nekia, who had just received the regular high school diploma, was shown on the body cam video of Kaufman Sheriff's Deputy Conner Martin. Nekia was shown walking on the sidewalk and obeying all laws. Conner Martin threw her down onto the ground, and lay down on top of her for 5 long minutes almost stopping Nekia's breathing. The Kaufman Sheriff's Dept. justified Conner's behavior by saying that they had received a 911 call claiming some Black woman was jaywalking to commit suicide. However, that still-unidentified caller said more than once that the jaywalking Black woman she saw was wearing KHAKI PANTS, but the videos clearly show Nekia wearing WHITE SHORTS.

I don't believe he didn't know about this. You ever notice they come to the table after it goes across the country on the Internet. Sad and dirty.

[@bubbasmith179]

Oh , the city are going to investigate themselves . Sure , everyone can trust that 😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣🤢

[@ouyrwq]

Call the City of Loveland City Manager's office and ask until they are completely trained if it is safe to travel to Loveland.

[@andrewstoll4548]

Do you really need to be trained not to abuse a 70+ yo person???

[@eltorocal]

They will try to pass laws on Open/Carry of "Loaded Camera's".

[@harrydietrich3854]

Fire 🔥 this chief for sitting on the case over a year and not knowing what’s wrong!!!!!!

[@luisgaspar6075]

Fire the chief immediately!

[@annbakita7272]

Exactly. He’s trash.

[@rodkrass7020]

Arrest the chief for criminal negligence.

[@commonmann3549]

If it were not a common practice, why were the perpetrators so comfortable yukking it up about it on camera?

[@lazybones1978]

they should have asked: when are you resigning😳

[@donbartels153]

You are absolutely correct.

[@For-da-free]

NOT ONE TIME DID HE EVER GIVE A HEARTFELT APOLOGY TO THAT FAMILY. HE HAS NOOOOOOOO HEART AT ALL....ITS ALL BUSINESS, IMPLEMENTING ANYTHING TO MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE HE'S DOING SOMETHING. YOU NEED TO ALLIGN YOURSELF WITH THAT COMMUNITY AND STAND BY THAT FAMILY. GET RID OF THIS CLOWN AS YOUR CHOEF. ASAP!

[@robertokonewski9434]

There’s a chief who’s on the ball. Now it just needs rolling out the door.

[@vladi9er]

Thank god for citizen journalism!!

[@jeffliberman4430]

Doesn't the Chief of police have some responsibility and accountability?

[@rodkrass7020]

Yes he does, and he is criminally negligent in this regard. Charge him.

[@commancheheart420]

Where us Sgt Phil Metzger charges?

[@toddmetzger]

That's what I want to know, he's as much an accomplice in the neglect.

[@eltorocal]

"...I fully support these charges... and don't talk to me about ignoring my Police Department... I Like Beer!"

[@JohnDoe-rg4ef]

Thank u for covering this story .this show d people that it makes a difference n something is being done about this lawless cops the don't treat the people with dignity n respect .

[@bryantf8105]

I've worked in nursing homes, and it is those professionals who are best trained who do the most damage to aging humans. All the training in the world does not make up for a lack of compassion, patience, and empathy.

[@DallasBryant-rw1oh]

Now You need to Revoke all of the corrupt "former Cops'" Certifications' so they cannot be hired at another Law enforcement Department !!!!!!!! 777

[@terriniemeier6578]

It was apparent immediately as this woman's arm was broken. How fake they still are.

[@edwardgrimsley4401]

I would DEMAND a Civilian investigation bord... And what about the guy Arrested for no Comment about the Motorcycle accident ? Chief I think you haven't been doing your job

[@annbakita7272]

I’d love to sit on the civilian board.

[@helenwilson9672]

When conversations are genuine it's not necessary to read from a piece of paper. Fire Chief Ticer too! Clean up all corruption in blue. Prayers for all families that loss love ones at the hands of officers that are suppose to PROTECT!

[@jennieberg372]

In Germany we say : Der Fisch stinkt vom Kopf / the Fish stinks from the Head

[@karenhughes7185]

What are the charges? And how on Earth did this chief not know what happened? There must have been shop talk around the department .... there must have been some joking and snickering going on. He knew....he just didn’t think it wrong until it went viral....he is lying.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@rodimusprime3621]

The fact that they need additional training to realize that a healthy, young man should not use such force on a 100lb senior citizen shows just how out of touch police are. Disgusting, fire all leaders in this dept immediately!

[@salnichols94805]

As long as Metzler and Trice are left standing nothing will change. This PD needs to be reduced to rubble, and just start over.

[@commonmann3549]

Yeah - the cover up is gonna be hard to cover up. We'll be watching, Big Chief Beats Old Ladies.

[@cabinbills6743]

Regardless of whether or not the victim had Alzheimers no human being should be treated that way ever . She was a 73 yo frail 80 lb woman . The fact the criminals didn’t know she had dementia isn’t important . Why would any human do what these animals did ?

[@dannacamacho6569]

How can u back those officer's not good.

[@baird5776mullet]

Was the female cop charged? if not why not? this would be all MSM news had the 73 year old been black and just what are the charges ?j

[@VincentValentine33]

This should NEVER have happened in the first place.

[@cobracommander9138]

The media asked nothing but a bunch of softball questions. No reporter asked who is "we" that he claims didn't know since his Sgt., knew about the incident. A supervisor knew of the incident so the department knew that day. Another officer that was not involved in the arrest also watched the video with the other two officers. Why didn't that officer report it?

[@stevehandley6025]

Whole department needs an enema!!

[@JimmyJohnson-cy7xb]

I'm calling bullshit!!! He knows that if he defended them in anyway he'd lose his job!!!!!

[@xenaguy01]

5:00 Chief, you said it took 8 months for you to become aware of this situation. First, why did that delay occur, and second, what is the _"Blue Team's"_ role in your department? Follow up question: Why did the _"Blue Team"_ not respond appropriately, and why not? 6:05 [Question about the Blue Team] _"There was not an investigation at that time. This is a matter covered by the criminal investigation, and I cannot comment."_ *TRANSLATION:* _"I'm trying to cover this up, gimme a break."_ 7:20 _"Our officers ... don't need to have a message sent to them."_ *TRANSLATION:* _"Those were the only two bad COPS on the force."_ 11:31 _"We have _*_excellent_*_ stopgaps in our policies and our reviews and our supervisors to find out when officers are outside of policies or the law ..."_ Wow, your definition of _"excellent"_ widely differs from that of any known dictionary. 11:49 *_"WE_*_ did not know ... til April 14th ..."_ Could you define _"We?"_ 12:50 _"We are _*_constantly_*_ ..."_ *TRANSLATION:* We just started...

[@laurencekelly5081]

Infinite number of upticks excellent summation.

[@xenaguy01]

@@laurencekelly5081 Wow, thanks.

[@terrystephens1102]

The reality is that the current practices; procedures, and policies failed. Why aren’t the videos from personnel body cameras reviewed after each shift ? Why wasn’t the video from the booking Hall cameras reviewed promptly ?

[@Nakasasama]

More like he's sorry his goons got caught

[@TitusTolliver-uf4mo]

Bad cops are everybody’s business.

[@johnbig4022]

When police use force that report go to his desk to see why this happen . That is his job were his investigation. It everybody else's fault.

[@toddmetzger]

Didn't he say he fully supported his officers when these allegations came out?!?!???? What about the third officer that was at the station that knew about the actions of the other two thugs, and did nothing to help??????????? Oh and Sgt. Metzler, on leave, but no charges filed?!?!? He arrived on the scene after the arrest and saw the blood from the woman. He failed to ensure the woman was given proper medical care as the Sgt. on duty. He needs to be put up on charges too.
