I have but one question…what about pepper spray? If the officers felt threatened why not use that type of substance? I have seen them use it on big 300lb men…why not an 80 year old woman if they didn’t think they could subdue her any other way. This is sad…and absolutely unecessary!

I have heard and seen some horrible things being done to people by police but this is the worst. What if that was their Mother, Grandmother or any female relative. How could they be so cold as to do her like that…..so, so sad

Does anyone know the outcome of this assault on the 80 yr. old woman?
This is beyond disgusting, I say, find out where the policewoman’s elderly mother lives, wait til she’s in a parking lot & slam her down, too. See, maybe only then will she get what she did was wrong!
Fire the police officers involved, then slam them down for a year, see how they like it, those evil bas (t) ards.
Is the lady ok? Does she have any permanent damage.
What hospital is she in? Pls advise.

this seriously made me cry. my grandmother is 83 with dementia. she can become violent, but its because she is confused and doesn’t know who anyone is let alone who she is most of the time. it sometimes takes quite a few people to restrain her, but a bodyslam is never necessary.

As black people we complain about the police but not many of us are willing to become one and change the way we get treated. Imagine if the police force was 50-70% black instead of 80% non black. how would other races react? how would the regulation over police actions change? We are subject to their power rather than power holders, and like it or not policmen HOLD the power!

all you people here defending the actions of these police officers need help…clearly you have not had any experience with victims of Alzheimers/Dementia or whatever other kind of mental disease. I worked in the Dementia unit at a nursing home and this kind of shit, even worse, happened all the time. But we were trained on how to handle the situation without anyone getting hurt. Clearly these officers must not be getting the right training to deal with these kinds of situations. Cops are supposed to know how to deal with people of different sizes and strengths and this is no way to handle an 80 something year old woman with a damn cane..knife or no knife. Try pulling this kind of BS in a nursing home and you will for damn certain lose your job, face a felony against a vulnerable adult and expect a lawsuit from the family of the victim. But of course, because this is the damn law enforcement in this case, they get the pass to act this way. And the reason i cry RACISM in this case is because you WILL NOT see these kinds of brutal acts against an elderly Caucasian woman.Period. All hell would break loose… you’d just have to turn on the TV and see it in every damn headlines.

Even if her condition wasn’t Alzheimer’s, this is an 84-year-old lady who cannot move without the assistance of a cane. She did not deserve to be wounded to the point that she needed stitches. That is brutal and an exorbitant use of force. I’m sure the crowd and the police cars exacerbated the confusion Ms. Dotson must have felt. It was badly handled all the way around. Rather than calling 911, it appears that someone with a medical background who was familiar with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other conditions that could affect a woman in her 80s, would have been of greater assistance.

That’s a cheap rationalization. You know and I know there’s a big difference between an 80+ year old woman with a knife, and a 50+ year old man with a concealed “GUN”.
