“Ready for the pop? Here comes the pop.” The quote above is from a Loveland Police officer – Austin Hopp – said in reference to the sound it made when he dislocated and fractured Karen Garner’s shoulder. Hopp made this comment to two fellow Loveland Police officers while they watched his body camera video together at the police station. They all laughed about it. The comment was made while Karen Garner, who has dementia, remained handcuffed to a bench in a cell just 10 feet away from them, alone, confused and crying in pain. She would ultimately go over six hours without any medical attention. This horrific statement comes to light after Ms. Garner’s family hired a sound engineer to enhance the audio on Loveland Police station booking videos from the day of Karen’s arrest. The video reveals a grotesque culture of callous disregard for the health and safety of citizens. The officers fist-bump one another multiple times in self-congratulation for both the assault on Garner and the intimidation of the citizen who attempted to complain about it. In an April 26, 2021 press release responding to the revelations seen in this video, Ms. Garner’s attorney, Sarah Schielke of The Life & Liberty Law Office states: “This is utterly disgusting. These videos cannot be unseen or unheard. I am sorry to have to share them with the public. This will be traumatic and deeply upsetting for everyone to see. But as it often goes with bad police departments, it seems this is the only way to make them change. They have to be exposed. If I didn’t release this, the Loveland Police’s toxic culture of arrogance and entitlement, along with their abuse of the vulnerable and powerless, would carry on, business as usual. I won’t be a part of that.” “Loveland knew. They’ve known all along,” Schielke continues. “They failed Karen Garner. They failed the community. And they did it all on camera. Do you realize how horrifying that is? That means they were used to getting away with it. That the comfortable norm in Loveland is one of zero accountability. That this is not just some ‘isolated incident.’ It is not just one single ‘problem.’ It is widespread, sociopathic criminality. And to attempt to shift the burden to Karen, or a bystander, or her family, or counsel, to report this? Shame on you, Loveland. You took an oath to protect and serve. This is a disgrace.” Since filing a federal lawsuit against the City of Loveland and three of its officers on April 14, 2021, the Loveland Police Department’s gruesome arrest and abuse of 73-year-old grandmother Karen Garner has horrified the country, making national headlines (New York Times, Washington Post, CBS News, NBC News, CNN, Newsweek, The Guardian, Vice). The 8th Judicial District Attorney’s office, in conjunction with the FBI and Fort Collins Police, has since opened a criminal investigation into the Loveland Police. Meanwhile, the City of Loveland has vowed to protect the “due process” rights of its officers, with Chief Robert Ticer putting one officer on administrative leave (Hopp) and “reassigning” the other two officers (Sergeant Metzler and Officer Jalali) to “administrative duties” (desk duty) until the various investigations are completed. To date, the City has yet to extend any apology to Ms. Garner or her family for the various atrocities witnessed on these videos.

No comments?? If this is legit those three cops should be taken out and have their arms and legs broken and then thrown in a hole and covered up alive. The Joe Pesci corn field scene in the movie Casino comes to mind. This kind of scum is why they are in the position they find themselves in today.
They ain’t cops they’re gestapo.
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! THIS ANGERS ME! Emotions already running high, this doesn’t help.
This is not an isolated incident for the Loveland PD. It is an example of what been taking place across the nation.
Notice the complete lack of concern by the Police officers. They are low IQ sociopaths. They laughed and celebrated the popping of the 73 old ladies shoulder. Were they just too stupid to realize that the popping sound was the dislocation of the women’s shoulder. No, they knew that they had dislocated the woman’s shoulder. They have no empathy. Also, notice the physical size of the police officers. They were all much larger then the very small size of the woman. One symptom of people who have dementia is that they have a lack of appetite so they normally lose a lot of weight.
What was even more disgusting was the all of officers celebrated on how they threw the woman to the ground multiple times and hog tied her. These offices are not protectors, they are nothing more then members of the Black and Blue wolf pack praying on the old and defenseless.
The question that needs to be asked; is what other atrocities have these police sociopaths committed that has not yet been exposed? Of course, wolf pack circles the wagon to protect their sociopathic police union members.
They even laughed that they made the arrest and did not read the miranda rights. Why, because they knew that they are members of the government protected class.
Wow, good thing she was white, huh. Otherwise someone might have lost their job.
I couldn’t watch the whole thing. It’d be hard for me not to follow up after what they did to someone I loved and to a compromised senior. Family? No amount of money or firings would satisfy me. But I suppose it would have to? They showed themselves to be bullies and cowards.
Only two things change behavior; fear of pain and pain. Officers who do that don’t fear/have compassion for the people they’re supposed to protect
That has to change.
Way to go,guys ! Now that beating and shooting blacks has fallen out of favor,y’all going after whites,thinking no one will raise a fuss? That will not last very long,I promise. I’ve gone from supporting the police,no questions asked, to decidedly neutral.
I have to agree with you. It is unfortunate because I’ve known both good and bad police. I want to respect them; but times have changed. When you stand down for wanton rioters and beat up whites instead, something is going to have to give eventually; and it ain’t gonna be good. I like Deibert’s solution.
She must have been uncooperative and resisted, just like the National Guard ‘Butterbar’ did during the traffic stop in Windsor, Virginia.
It’s just so difficult to understand exactly what’s going on, with only a single camera/video source…..ask LaVoy Finicum.
Lesson learned: When ordered by the police, don’t resist, challenge, or stand up to them as a free citizen of a Constitutional republic, and you won’t have any problems.
A.A -F*kk You. This is the kind of thugpig behavior that can only be solved by Applied Violence. As long as copsuckers like you keep saying “Cooperate and OBEY, the thugpigs will have No Reason to change their behavior.
You ducking idiot!
She’s 73 with Dementia! 5 ft tall and 80 pounds.
Thugpig behavior is thugpig behavior. YOU are Wrong for defending this shit, and the scum that perpetrate it, in any way. Anyone who supports the Enemies of the Republic, even by making Lame Excuses for “nazi” behavior, Shouldn’t be in America.
Thank them for their service, and put a blue line flag sticker on your rear window.
Well done, protecting and serving the s** out of that elderly lady.
Anyone noticed this pattern they have created??
Nobody realizes they WANT US ANGRY WITH ALL POLICE…? Nobody finds that a little convenient for the narrative. Well, I do!
I have probably been taken in by them more then most people here too. They have done shady shit, never mistreated me like I’ve seen lately. Something doesn’t add up to me! I don’t even like cops,USUALLY! I do feel with the news doing what it’s doing to separate us from the likes of police, WE should do the opposite of what MSM is pushing…not help them! I need more details first.
If the local police keep mistreating people and getting mistreated, maybe they will be more willing to help out with g,grabs etc…. idk! I just don’t like we are feeding same narrative as msm! That never feels like right thing to do
Ok. Watched it all! These seem legit and he is straight scum! This is an old video though… I would hope things change! “Our side” or not, I am not hesitating on anyone hurting my family! It will HTF! They are disgusting cops! Why so long for it to surface..
