Five years in prison for the American agent who violently arrested a deranged elderly man outside the country

Karen Garner went to a supermarket in Loveland in June 2020 where she bought $14 (about €13.25) worth of small items. However, according to her lawyer, she forgot to pay due to her poor memory. Although store employees were able to retrieve items from the woman, the police were called.

The seventy-year-old was pulled off the road by police officer Austin Hope as she was returning home. And because she refused to follow his orders—perhaps because she didn’t understand them—he set her on the ground and handcuffed her.

The footage of the brutal arrest caused an uproar at the time, especially since CCTV footage captured moments later at the police station showed Austin Hope and other colleagues laughing as they replayed the scene.

The officer pleaded guilty to assault during his trial and apologized to Garner’s family. According to Judge Michelle Brenegar, this was not just a mistake, but rather a young policeman who abused his position of power and displayed a disturbing mindset.
