"I notice you have hearings aids. Are you hard of hearing?" He'll be a detective in no time!
Probably promoted after this to head of detective!
Don't y'all forget about the paid vacation that comes before the promotion.
Detective is just a rank.
AND GET A PAY RAISE! WHILE MULTIPLE DRUG DEALS AND CAR THEFTS HAPPEN.
He will b a detective
The cop that's persecuting me was promoted to detective because he was setting innocent people up
While supporting criminals abusing a child .
To the Police: Making yourself so easy to hate is a terrible public relations strategy. Also, the cops who denied this woman medical care, should be fired, lose their law enforcement certifications, and be charged. At this point, finding a good cop is like seeing a Yeti.
And all they end up doing is hiring bad cops because the good people dont want to do the job anymore.
Just because you have nobody in your life and you live off of social media doesn't mean good people don't exist.

We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing
You are awarded the post of the day accuracy award.
Am amazed so many disgraceful incompetent cops get Cop Of The Year award or promotion - just how bad are the rest in the department ?
Precisely. And no matter how egregious the behavior of law enforcement is shown to be, no matter how many times we see it, or in how many videos, there will always be the callous trolls who defend each and every police action, each and every time. We will not have to dig deep here to find several defenders of the blue who'll swear she was violently resisting, ignoring legal commands, belligerent and -their favorite- "if she had just complied." Then, one day, they may get to live the saying "Back the Blue until it's you." And then, of course, it'll be late. Police reform cannot come too soon to this country. The police are neither equipped nor trained to deal with people with disabilities or mental problems. In fact, with police or sheriff's academies providing about 12 weeks of training to their recruits before they are officers with the right of life and death over the population, the increased militarization of police forces throughout the U.S., and the almost total unaccountability of police officers for their mistakes, abuses of power, and crimes, things will not improve but worsen considerably.
I saw zapp Brannigan in my head from futurama when I read this, lol
How could they criminally trespass her if she paid for a ticket 🎫 and is not even capable of hearing?
Sad thing is all it takes is an employee saying leave and you refuse to. Ticket holding does not matter.
That said. That woman was treated wrongly. All levels of wrong. There are laws regarding the disabled. The ACLU is going to have a field day.
She would have had to pass through security in order to be sitting and awaiting a flight. They’re making themselves easier to hate 😁
Defund police e
They clearly stated she was given two choices. One, she could rebook her ticket and move on or she could leave. She didn't do either one. She was ignoring everybody.
after she missed her flight, she got rebooked onto a new flight but she wanted to take a different flight her cousin was on and argued about that; when she refused to take the flight she was rebooked onto they trespassed her
i think she should have just taken the flight she got rebooked onto.
that doesnt make the way they treated her ok though!
So, a deaf person is misunderstood, harassed, and jailed because of a lack of critical thinking skills, cognitive awareness by police & airport staff, and sheer mental laziness.
Hope she gets a very big pay day
Idiocracy arrived a while ago it seems.
Typical genius cops.
Lack of comin sense.
@@augustrekar986 common sense isn't all that common.
Sadly the cops will not learn anything from this.
The will investigate themselves and conclude that they did nothing wrong. They can never admit fault or failure because then they would be liable for their actions.
Why didn't you include the airport personnel? They started this.
Wouln't it be nice if 'The People'..(aka...TaxPayers/Pesky Citizens) refuse to pay any more lawsuits steming from Police misconducts..
That same action makes all cops from all agencies Cowards!

End qualified imunity hold oath keepers responsible for there tyrannical action, out of his pocket and into mine...it's the only thing they'll understand
. . . she didn't break her arm, the police broke her arm when man handling her.
Nope. She didn't break her arm until she was in the jail and only after she resisted the jailers. The cops already handed her off so they had nothing to do with it.
Imagine reading a trespass order to a deaf person then arresting her because she failed to comply. Beyond belief.
This whole trespass idea is something I've never come across in England or Australia where I have spent the past 76 years. Watching YT videos shows it is a big thing in America. Here, in Australia where I am now, I spent many years as a security guard and we would politely escort somebody off the premises. A nightclub bouncer might use more force but they would lose their licence if they were too heavy-handed. Sure we might call the police but not usually. And they would normally not ask someone to leave unless they were being troublesome. Seriously, I just don't get it.
@@patrickcorliss8878 These laws are meant for truly misbehaving people such as drunks but are applied to anyone regardless of that person's circumstances. Cops are hired with low IQ and high aggressive personalities.
You can see on her face how confused and terrified she was , SHAME on ALL OF THEM!!
Drama Queen ? 🤔🤔
@@writtenhousesecurity6499 drama queen my arse, these cops and security are just mindless unless cretins. Locking someone up for not understanding what was happening. So brave and caring. In my country those cretins would be looking over their shoulders for some time to come.
@@writtenhousesecurity6499I hope you or someone you care about gets a big taste of it
@@brt5273 We just act right in public. It's just so much easier, to just follow the rules
@@writtenhousesecurity6499 How about a bit of understanding and tolerance for disabled people and make an effort to communicate over the disability barrier. But I suppose that doesn't fit in with the kick ass and grab 'em by the balls philosophy of policing.
Such bravery, what heroes they are! Getting this disabled old lady out of that chair and beating her up made us all safer. Thanks officers for keeping us safe.
Agreed. Maybe next time this old lady will not be deaf and listen when officers are talking to her. I hate how dead people think they get a pass in life just because they can’t hear. Joking aside, how did the airline or any of these cops feel at any point in time feel they were making good decisions?!
@@MrJeremytpage they must have called the brave Uvalve cops that watched 20 people get murdered or maybe the Denver cops that beat up the 73 year old lady with dementia Karen Garner...such big sadistic damn heroes!!!
They would have been the sort of cops who would have cowered at Ulvalde when the shooter was there.
They put her in a wheelchair her injuries happened at the jail, if you want to get mad get mad at Delta and it's agents who didn't take the time to talk to a customer.
@@youngsteph1like you, when did you run into the line of danger instead of running off at the mouth ?
She was clearly a huge threat, sitting there quietly, not responding to commotion around her, and playing with her phone. So glad the police arrive and saved us from this old lady! I wasnt even there and I was scared!
I did my best to follow up on this. A lawsuit was filed at some point but is currently on hold. The injury to her arm/wrist happened while they were strip searching her. She passed out from the pain and when she became conscious her clothes were back on her, but inside out.
Strip searched? For what reason....oh, wait, I know...'protocol'. Never mind common sense
Yet more data to add to this case. Poor thing!
Thanks for the update. WTF is happening?
The only reason to put the clothes on inside out was to heap on the humiliation.
That didn't happen.
She wasn’t being disobedient.. she had no idea what was going on. These cops are always on a power trip and will go after anyone they can.
Why didn't you include the airport personnel? They started this.
@@meatpopsicle1567 Only the cops did the arrest and broke her arm.
@@timbeatty11 Um, the airport employees called the cops. They didn't just randomly show up there.
@@meatpopsicle1567 they should be sued also. But the cops used force and broke her arm
@@meatpopsicle1567 Everybody knows when you call the cops they're going to escalate the situation.
SHAME ON DELTA AIRLINES WHO STARTED THIS WHOLE THING!!!
But this company fully supports DEI…women and people of color…who aren’t deaf.
How disgusting is our world getting? All of these people and not a one with compassion, sympathy or empathy.
Policing has become 0-100 mph in five seconds, no chances for de-escalation, because policing has become militarized and populated by over-aggressive combat wannabes. America has a policing crisis.
world ??? only in America that stuff happens lol
I hope I get called up for this jury. I'll give her what ever she asks for. The one time I would actually enjoy being a juror!
I gave her a little guilt, why she doesnt say, what the matter !
My heart aches for this poor lady! First and foremost, this starts with those gate attendants, who should be FIRED for being dismissive and (therefore discriminating toward a deaf customer. Unconscionable and unforgivable!
Absolutely sickening what harm or she causing these people just look for trouble the elderly lady did nothing wrong anyone would think it's China
exactly, none of this would happened if the airline employees at the counter cared about the situation.
Yep
Thank you. I love to support good people, LEOs or not, and these officers do not qualify for either trust or respect. Their reckless disregard for an elderly deaf woman's safety should be a chargeable offense, same as for anyone else. Elderly, deaf and a woman, and two young, healthy men break her arm. They belong on the other side of the bars.
Someone with a boarding pass doesn't respond to questions and / or instructions. Clearly they are a disturbance and loitering. Yup.
Time to renew their _Mensa_ membership. Oh - wait...
Imagine reading a no trespass order to a deaf person and being able to look at yourself in the mirror ever again.
The deaf person has hearing aids. Are you saying deaf people can’t be arrested?
There was a NYC cop who arrested a deaf person, who was trying to communicate with the cop in sign language. The cop arrested the person for throwing "gang signs"..
As a retired LEO, I can say, the way they handled this situation is unacceptable! Sheriff Sally should be voted out of office and those officers should be held accountable! I'm disgusted and ashamed of them all.
If you truly believe that then you and anyone and everyone who is actively and still on the force or retired from the force NEED to speak out to your fellow LEOs about it. They completely blow it off when they hear it from regular citizens. It needs to be heard from other cops if it’s to make a difference.
There's 2 offices gone from my station BECAUSE I spoke up. It's impossible to know what an individual does, if you're not there to witness it! Especially in the days b4 body cams. So don't assume I just looked away and all cops are bad! Because that's what you insinuated. And a little hint Einstein, that's ONE of the reasons for body cams!
After that response, Sally should be forced to resign immediately.
As a retired LEO you are no better than they are. You also violated rights and destroyed lives.
@@DonB.-zi7nk "There's 2 offices gone from my station BECAUSE I spoke up"
B.S.
It's a miracle the poor ELDERLY DEAF lady didn't have a stroke or heart attack!
I'm sorry! WTF is wrong with these people? How could anyone in a position of authority not see and understand the situation? I hope she gets millions in compensation!
omg so timpa wasnt even who i was thinking of above it was actually gregory gross, they paralyzed him. THATS the video that was heartbreaking.
IQ < 90
They’ll be getting bags of money ready so she doesn’t sue.
Don't worry our taxes will pay for this!
Except it should come from those involved pockets.
Airline needs to be sued also.
Big time. I hope this lady sues both the sheriff office and the airline/airport. Breaking an elderly woman's arm. They did that in Colorado and her family won millions.
For what? The story was that SHE missed her flight. She then got Delta to book her on the Alaska air flight but then wanted Alaska air to change those tickets. Something only Delta could do. It was explained to her clearly as she had turned her hearing aids back on to normal at that point but she didn't want to hear it and caused a commotion. only then was she told she wouldn't be flying with Alaska air that day and was asked to leave. Her refused caused the cops to get involved who then tried to talk to her about it and get her to leave. once she refused they had no choice but to arrest her.
She can't sue the airlines for anything at all. And she'll have to provide evidence that the cops injured her before she can sue for that.

@@SeanPat1001 I'm interested in hear how. She was trespassing. Plain and simple.
I feel so much safer knowing this old lady is no longer terrorizing the airport
I pray that she heals from the trauma she experienced at the airport as for the officer if you see a person with hear aid dont ask them if they are hard to hear what you think..duhhhh
I'm disgusted. Everyone involved failed that poor lady miserably. I hope they are all held accountable. It takes real men hiding behind a badge to beat up on an old lady.
she's been on this planet for 70 years. She failed herself by her actions. She even shut off her hearing aids to ignore what the cops were trying to communicate to her. She's 100% at fault here, not the cops.
I've no idea how she was injured but it didn't happen at the airport, it happened at the jail when she struggled and resisted. They've provided no evidence that she suffered an arm break so I'll take that with a grain of salt until they provide evidence rather than just the word of a lawyer who has a motive to say such things.

She was terrified! Not only did the police act like criminals, but who called them on her in the first place instead of helping her??
Like? Lol. They are the biggest most brutal gang in the usa.
She heard what they said the video shows her talking to the police. She thought her priveledge would protect her.
That would have been the $10 an hour counter staff.
@@patricktalbot8980 exactly. she was intentionally ignoring the cops as they were trying to help her. She refused, was trespassed then when she ignored them and shut her hearing aids off they finally had to arrest her for refusing to leave.

I’m crying for this lady and can only imagine how terrified she was! This is the most heartbreaking and outrageous things I have ever seen or heard of! EVERYONE involved should be fired and arrested for brutalizing this innocent lady! I hope she sues and wins ownership of the airlines responsible!
How the hell was this a criminal tresspass arrest? I can rob a store in NYC or Sanfrancisco and not be subject to arrest and here they throw her in jail because shr can't communicate. Every one involved was incompetent They should all be sued personally.
Makes me wonder how the people involved with this poor elderly lady would feel if someone acted this way with their elderly parents.The people at the counter, the airport employees, the arresting officers, the jail guard and finally the police department issuing this statement that means they will not change a thing.
it's so ironic that they see themselves as the patriotic hero when they're nothing but domestic terrorists
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
It's the only _training_ that will stick.
In the USA people are raised to bow the knee to anyone in a uniform, to never question 'authority', to never get involved in anyone else's problems and to turn away.
Its the very reason there will never be a decent central funded health care system in the USA. Its all about looking after No 1 and screw the rest.
As this lady found out.
They probably don’t have parents
Not sure if you've ever heard about Karen Garner, if not look up the incident. I've seen comments supporting the police for their actions and saying she got what she deserved. She was an older woman with dementia that almost stole $12 worth of merchandise from Walmart.
Sounds like thanks to both the airport cops and the airline employees who called the cops on her, this woman is going to be very, very wealthy after the dust settles. Well done.

Not a chance. This stupid rude woman was playing the ole poor old woman card. Too bad she never broke her neck.
YES SIR we got this(the taxpayers). Hopefully the airlines will get slammed, BUT the coward pos cops that did the actual beating won't be out of one red cent.
After they they pay up. She can charted a private plane 😂😂😂😂
EVERYONE involved, from ticket agents, airport security, the cops involved, the jail medics, should all be charged for this and made to spend as many days in jail as it takes for this poor ladys arm to heal. Sue ALL of them.
Wow. I don’t understand how the security or the police weren’t helpful and instead treated her this way. I truly hope she sues.
„I assure you our officers take the harming of peoples health issues very very serious ….“
So sorry for the lady,hope her family will sue the Austin police department and also airport police.

This is awful how they treated this lady. No shame no more. Those Workers could care less about anyone needing help.
This poor woman. I sure hope she sues. They need to be held accountable for such an atrocities. Broken arm? What a crime against a human.
There's been a number of police interactions lately, where hearing-impaired individuals are mistreated by law enforcement. It's a wonder how these aren't prosecuted as ADA violations.
@Cool And Good• I saw a video a few weeks ago where cops arrested and mocked a deaf teenage girl for trespassing and her family members had to search for her...sooo sad.

Are you serious? These scumbags can murder a citizen on camera and STILL walk away Scott free. There is no law they can't break, no abuse they can't do and not get away with it.
@@madmaximilian5783 That's disgusting. While literal murderers are being let out on bond, and cops are giving pedo murderers tips for better defenses in court. Everything is so backwards.
This is the worst one yet because they knew she was deaf from the beginning. There are new implants that give completely deaf people the ability to hear but they still can't hear even close to as well as you and I can...
I do not get any of this. Why were those cops called? Once there, why didn't they simply "help" her? What did that old "disabled" woman do that prompted those police officers to arrest her and then in transporting her break her arm?
Cops "help"?
HAHHahhahhahaHAHAHHAHAhahhahahha!!!!!!!
Their job is to arrest you. Stop believing the police are there to help, they aren't.
The cops job was to help. She refused. They tried to negotiate with her and get her to leave. They told her that she was no longer flying with Alaska air today and they have asked her to leave. Their job is to get trespassers to leave. she refused that that is the ONLY reason she was arrested. Had she walked away this would not have happened. She's been on this planet for 70 years and should have known better.
And STOP calling her "disabled". She was hard of hearing and could community perfectly well with the hearing aids she had on. The only time she couldn't hear properly was when she missed the announcement. She later turned them back to normal volume and spoke to the ticket people AND could hear the cops explain things to her just fine UNTIL she shut them off in front of the cops. that is when they had to arrest her. She refused to leave someone else's property when asked. You and I would both be arrested for the SAME thing. It's called Equity.

She failed to kiss their ass. They probably thought she was ignoring them, when she probably was not aware they were there until they laid hands on her. This is the stuff of my nightmares. As a hearing impaired person I have had similar done to me on three different occasions over the years. From getting tased from behind because I wasn't "obeying orders" that I couldn't hear to having a gun stuck in my face because I didn't hear an order to stop. This happens all the time and every couple of years they shoot one of us usually from behind. I think it's been like 4 years since the last one so we are overdue so she is lucky she didn't win that lottery.
what the heck!! This is just embarrassing for all of us as a society how this lady was treated.
What a genius sees hearing aid and ask are you hard of hearing 😂😂😂😂😂 what a good addition to the force.
Our criminal justice system is so broken it would be better if it didn't exist at all
Defund the police criminalalties and abolished qualified immunity
It is not broken, it was designed to work this way, it's the way states at all levels work. The Gestapo were cops, Mao's enforcers were cops, the KGB were cops, 270 million people were murdered by cops in the 20th century, just doing their duty, just obeying orders, all for the public good. If you support the state, if you vote, if you say the pledge and sing the anthem, then you are a part of the problem of obedience to authority. BTW, Jesus was nailed to the cross by Roman cops.
U got it right the criminal system they are all criminals!!!
Takes a real tough guy to beat up an old lady.
while handcuffed….I hear the word police & it makes me want to vomit-
This sort of extreme, heartless, & ignorant, incompetence, is exactly why I’m somewhat afraid to go outside anymore, I don’t want to be beaten, &/or arrested, over some stupid misunderstanding…(seems to be happening to people, more frequently, these days)…
a reason i quit flying .. too many cops and you are damm near strip searched now.. take off my shoes and i can t walk very well ..
Nothing makes me think of Heroism more, than 6 to 7 police, facing a distress elderly disable person! Absolute Bravery...thankfully, no officer was harm arresting the suspect!!!
Thank you for the ableist comment about "6 to 7 police, facing a distress elderly disable person." I will remember that being deaf or hard of hearing makes me and my family unable to be a threat to people. What about the elderly Navy SEAL who is hearing impaired or deaf? Do they also pose no threat to "6 to 7 police?" Her behavior warranted "6 to 7 police" and it would be improper for them to make decisions like:
1. A 27 year old fit Navy SEAL who just got back from offing a terrorist cell warrants "6 to 7 police" but,
2. A 70 year old woman with a hearing impairment doesn't
What if granny is a former CIA agent who traveled the world assassinating people? It's not the "person" that determines the nature of the response instead it's the nature of the incident. She was disturbing the peace in a highly sensitive area and the proper response is to send multiple officers to respond to belligerent persons in an airport. It would be wrong if they sent 1 person and granny was a former CIA officer who takes them down, grabs their gun and starts killing people who called police on her and other passengers because her dementia riddled mind brings her back to her "good old days" as a CIA agent and she thinks she's being attacked by enemies of the United States and is saving the country. As she goes down in a "blaze of lost glory" she believes she is experiencing than everyone can wonder how "granny could have been so skilled and lethal." Then would we be talking about how 1 officer was enough or would we ask why only one officer was sent to deal with a belligerent passenger at an airport which resulted in a high body count?
You are making ableistic and ageist comments that are not supported anywhere. If police would send "6 to 7 police" to handle a belligerent 250 lb MMA fighter than they should do the same for "granny" with a hearing impairment because there is no way for them to know that the 250 lb MMA fighter is more of a threat than a 130 lb granny.
Thank God those cops were there to save everyone from this woman. That must have been so scary for the officers.
Your comment makes no sense; you don't realize that those police officers broke her arm, and I think they failed to bring the interpreter. Also, I still believe it doesn't seem right for anyone to do so hard on deaf people. Didn't you notice that the old deaf lady was confused and terrified, so something was wrong with you and those police officers in that video? Those people ignored what the old deaf lady was doing; she was at peace. She did not do anything wrong... but if they wanted to say something to her first place with an interpreter, they didn't do it; all they did was force her and break her arm for what? Also, I disagree with what they did to deaf people and disabilities people; they should take time and try to understand that we might have done something wrong or at the wrong place or at the wrong time, but there is no excuse for those people do to us without talk in the first place!

Sue the cops, the air line, and ticket agent. She needs to sue the air port as well.
Qualified immunity protects them personally,unless their immunity is revoked by the court.
@@Thunderontheroad No kidding. Where's a well regulated militia when you need one?
So they assaulted an old lady, broke her arm, and refused her medical treatment. Glad these upstanding cops are keeping us safe from the elderly and handicapped.
My brother struggled with the same disability for 58 years before he passed last year, so I know how terribly frusterating and humbing at the same time. The way you treat people the way you would you would like to be treated.😢
The woman must have been terrified. The officers are totally unqualified for their job. Taking their frustrations out on a deaf woman who wanted to communicate and comply. They all should be charged with assault an battery.

Boy can cops go any lower first it was an old woman with dementia at Walmart.. Now to deaf woman at an airport.. What's next with them a deaf and blind person 😒
Oh, you missed the cop who let an old man's car run over the old man's foot, _while the old man was having a stroke?_
Deaf and Blind girl was arrested by cops. See the video.
Yeah don't forget the autistic guy or the guy who was paralyzed from the waist down that they drugged out of a car and slammed on the ground. Or probably the worst thing that I can think of was they left the handcuffed woman in the car and let the car get hit by train why the cop run like a coward..
What's next, Latin people stealing from wal-mart?
Why didn't you include the airport personnel? They started this.
Have the Travis County Sheriff's Office lost their mind?! She doesn't know what they are saying but yet they decide to be ignorant and take her away?! Who do you think they are?! You don't treat ANYONE like that! Not even the deaf!
That poor woman had no idea what was going on. I am glad their body cams were on showing she didn't have a broken arm before she was taken from the airport.
likely "broken arm" simply means a small hairline fracture caused by the twist as she resisted once she arrived at the jail not some full break needing a 6 week cast.
And why are you saying she had no idea what was going on? Do you believe 71 is the time of senility? She had just likely retired for a full time job only 6 years prior, now you want to give her dementia????
if you saw the actual bodycams you will see she caused this by her own actions so she certainly knew exactly what she was doing... she's 70 not stupid.
Do you know that she intentionally shut her hearing aids off while the cops were trying to talk to her? That's when they finally realized she wasn't going to voluntarily leave so was arrested.
Her choice, her consequence.

This is one of those situations that calling the cops made everything worse. Remember that courts ruled that law enforcement agencies can legally discriminate against applicants for being too intelligent. That's all you need to know about this situation.

THERE IS NO SITUATION THAT A COP CAN'T MAKE WORSE!!!!!!!!!
Calling police always makes it worse. How many welfare checks have turned into deaths or arrests when someone could have just talked and been helpful?
They called the cops because she wouldn't leave. Because she wouldn't leave? So what? It is an airport. People wait (and wait and wait) at airports all the time, that is the purpose of the place. I think the airline's desk agent didn't want to deal with her request.
Sad that they did to a person that didn't understand what they did to them
An elderly handicapped woman was arrested for being confused in an airport. WTAF?!
Everyone involved in this incident needs to be fired. Unacceptable. Officers who harmed her need to be charged with assult.

Imagine being married to one of those police officers? Or that one of them is a family member? How embarrassing.
I'm also mad at the airline employees. They couldn't communicate with her so they had her trespassed?!
I am so glad they caught that dangerous woman! Can you imagine the damage she could have perpetrated on those poor officers. Thank you law enforcement for making the airport terminal safer.
Seriously? Wait, see. Police will do to you future. Make sure you follow law perfectly so you don’t go to jail.
The police chief released a statement saying that they take the safety of individuals in their facility very seriously. Apparently not seriously enough!
I'm disgusted, all must be fired and put in jail for fals arrest, fals report and assault
Austin,TX PD, we are so proud of your behavior. I can only hope that this type of behavior comes back on you or those you care about. Alaska Airlines, did you call the cops on a deaf person? I expect more from you.
I think the first step is to go after the Airline who called the assualt people with weapons. She has a disability and the airline failed to adhere to the American Disability Ability act of 1990. Then because the guys with dangerous weapons assaulted and victomized her along with failing to fullfil her rights under the ADA as well. Go after each and everyone one of them garnishing their wages and pensions adding in suit to departments and corporations.
Then they broke her arm and left her in jail for 3 days with nothing but aspirin and tylenol?
She is lucky she even got a tylenol instead of another broken arm by austin pd and then she is found in a lake.
@@barrybb5409 Didn't you see that memo? They _care_ about their prisoners... we couldn't tell, so they had to inform us.
Because the airline employees are likely belonging to a special class of people (low information voters), nothing will likely be done to them.

Absolutely outrageous. This should have never occurred.

This sort of sh*t really angers me. I just hope every one of the stupid people who caused this get to be harmed even more severely by others at some point during their lives and that she sues and wins.
Well said!!!
She a strong lady, she carried the bag with broken arm
Had enough of these departments saying they care so much when clearly the opposite has already happened. Stop lying
When I was a military policeman, i had one incident with a deaf person. I took the initiative to learn sign language.
Please teach police about ASL. It’s important to American Deaf people need this. What if Deaf people need hero Police?
Law enforcement behavior can be so disgusting and cruel and then have the audacity to wonder why people hate them and they don't ever feel the need to apologize, they'll say, it's nothing personal I'm just doing my job. The guy locking the showers to gas people to death said the same thing, just following orders!
This lady was no threat to escalate to this type of force. Makes you not care when violent crimes are committed against cops. Needs to be criminal liability in cases like this.
So much more information needs to be reported on this.
This is disgusting ! Poor lady ! They had no right to break her arm wtf !

I'm glad I saw this video. I am travelling alone with my wife's wheel chair, to meet her and her Nurse on a later flight. Under the concept of, "Anticipate their Stupidity" I drove the chair to a Notary Public a month before departure, then time stamped an envelope with serial number to myself proving previous ownership. I could just see someone in authority thinking I was using it simply to wheel my suitcases to the ticket counter and that it was airport property...
It probably would go like this: 'Put that wheelchair back in its original place, sir... Your suitcases have wheels of their one, don't they? No? Well, that is on you... What were you thinking anyway?'

Why would she be trespassed as she was not causing a disturbance? She should sue the airline, the airport,and the police department for millions! Hope an attorney is reading this and gets involved!!

That might happen, what with a man getting woman of the year and Ms. Universe. Cops that hurt the disabled are a shoe in for officers of the year.
I can't imagine my luggage loaded on top of my sciatic legs and being carted off with no respect for me being an elder and customer. That lady looks shook up. SMH danm shame.
if you want respect as someone who should know better (being on the planet for 71 years) then EARN it. She didn't earn it, she acted like a child.
How Alan?Explain your thoughtlessly Ruthless comment. I just listened to this video again. SMH
@@lyetaherb4703 How about do a search for the original bodycam rather than this poorly written "news" report. There are two videos of the altercation. She's to blame for her choices that day.
Both old people AND hard of hearing people have the right to be trespassed from a property for being disrupted as well as arrested for refusing the lawful orders of the police. What's so thoughtless" about that? Please explain...
The think you don't know is that SHE was 100% in the wrong. She missed her flight because she didn't hear the announcement. (it happens to lots of people). She went to Delta and Delta arranged a ticket on Alaska Air for a later time that day. She later WANTED an earlier flight but the Alaska Air people couldn't change a ticket purchased by Delta. Delta would have to do that. She was TOLD that but instead blew up and acted like a child which got her removed from the Alaska Air roster also. She was asked to leave but refused and even turned her hearing aids off when the cops were trying to politely get her to leave. She refused that THAT is what got her arrested. These are all FACTS of the case had you spent the time to learn it.
So what's so "ruthless" about allowing an adult who has been on this planet for 70 years to face the consequences for their own decisions?? You'd think by this time in her life she's know better by this point.

@@alandeon- And that STILL doesn't justify physically abusing her, breaking her arm, and denying her medical care for 3 days.
I think you would find much more support for the airline employees, the police, and the jail if you could exclude those facts.
Yes, some elderly people can be difficult. Some people with disabilities use them as an excuse to get away with nonsense. None of that justifies broken bones and denial of medical care.
That jail should have immediately sent her to a proper hospital for evaluation. It's a fairly well known fact that many elderly women have osteoporosis. It should have been obvious to any intelligent person that despite her behavior it would be better to err on the side of the angels and get her real medical treatment.
The publics' complaint that law enforcement is drunk on power is the real issue here.
You really expect people to believe that a couple big, strong, young men had to use so much force on that little old lady they broke her arm to control her? This is just a power issue - an "I don't respect you as a human being and I don't care what your problem is - do what I say or I'll hurt you" attitude. And the jail compounded it "punishing" her for having issues. Another attitude of "give us a difficult situation and we'll make you suffer for it" situation.
This is NOT how we expect law enforcement to behave. The very nature of the job means you are going to be dealing with people with problems. If you're incapable of having a mature attitude, incapable of rising above petty revenge or downright torture when faced with these people you need to find another job.
There's no good reason why that elderly woman's arm was broken, or why she didn't get medical care for 3 days. It's petty, immature behavior. We have every right to expect better from those in authority positions.
Those officers and airport staff must be so proud of them selves. Thankfully I have no intention of going to the US.
I'm starting to believe that these tyrannical scumbags would arrest their own mothers, if they got a call.
Who? Do you mean the airport personnel? They' started this.
@@meatpopsicle1567 They are all need to be put in jail. They all conspired to remove this helpless disabled woman.
@@joerambo2083 That's a start in the right direction. Remember, 9 times out of 10, the only reason the police show up is because someone in the neighborhood summoned them there.
@@meatpopsicle1567 NO they did NOT "start this". They informed her that they could not change the flight because Delta booked the ticket and Delta would need to request a change. She was having none of that despite it being the truth. SHE started this with her tantrum for not getting her way.
@@alandeon But, then there is the issue of anti-police buffoons blaming only the police for this issue, which what I was attempting to address. I maintain that that blame can be placed elsewhere, other than on the police. I'm not defending her. She could be a victim or she could be a "victim." That being said, I maintain that the police, who did not just randomly show up, are not fully to blame for what transpired.

cops called and the situation escalates and they break her arm? that's so unusual.
Her arm was broken after she was dropped off at the jail when she tried to resist them. The cops had already left.
I like how the statement always reflects the opposite of their actions. Total f-ing gaslighting from officials.
I AM SICK OF LAW ENFORCEMENT HURTING AND KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE!!!! I don't know how to say it any louder or clearer than THAT! Even if someone needs to go to jail law enforcement has become so violent and aggressive that they escalate things and harm people that don't deserve that level of treatment!

Part of the problem is that the bar for police and security hiring is incredibly low, you don't need many brain cells to pass certification.
The statement that they care about the health and safety of individuals in their care and take it seriously seems at odds with her breaking her arm while in handcuffs in their care. This bland statement suggests no accountability at all, which is no surprise considering what took place. It seems no one actually sat down and talked to this woman to find out what the problem was and how they could help her. Instead they arrested her. Ridiculous.
" We take safety very seriously" So seriously they fail to properly train officers on how to deal with deaf and elderly people. And then proceed to break their arms.

And deny them medical care
what no 30 min savage beating then a multi mag dump on her. the cops must be rookies.
I am hearing impaired and I am not as deaf as this lady, but this kind of thing scares me and causes me to not want to fly again. I did have a travel issue not like this but my hearing did cause me to fly my daughter up to be a companion for my flight home. I really feel for this lady.
You realize she intentionally shut off her hearing aid in order to ignore the cops right? If you don't plan on being stupid nothing like this will ever happen to you. She stubbornly put herself in that situation by causing a disturbance 30 minutes earlier. which is the reason the cops were called.
The airport employees need to be disciplined as well; they started this whole thing by being dismissive and intolerant of someone with a disability.
As a retired LEO. The proper procedure for this person would be to have EMS respond for an evaluation and possible transport to a medical facility.
the sad thing is she doesn't need any of that, she just needs someone to help her, and everyone failed left and right. I'ts something that is mostly seen in US territory, such a lack of humanity from everyone to everyone else; more chances on getting help from any civilian than any public worker, and most times also private worker.
Poor woman. You could see she was scared and she didn't break any laws. You can't trespass someone at a public facility like an airport. She should sue the airline as well since they caused this mess.
