A video showing US police violently arresting and breaking the arm of a 73-year-old woman suffering from dementia in Colorado has led to a criminal investigation into the officers involved.

Police arrested Karen Garner on 26 June 2020, for allegedly stealing just $13.88 worth of merchandise from a Walmart store in the city of Loveland.

The video shows a police officer pushing Garner to the ground and handcuffing her after she left the store to go home. In the video Garner appears confused and scared and at one stage pleads: “I am going home.”
