Horrifying bodycam footage has emerged showing the violent arrest of a 77-year-old grandmother who was forced to bite the concrete kerb during a confrontation with Colorado police officers.
The incident, which occurred during a routine traffic stop, escalated rapidly when officers attempted to detain the elderly woman. The video evidence shows disturbing scenes of excessive force being used against the vulnerable pensioner.
Disturbing Bodycam Evidence Surfaces
The recently released footage captures the moment police officers physically restrained the grandmother, pushing her face towards the pavement and demanding she "bite the kerb" in what appears to be a dangerous restraint technique.
Eyewitnesses and civil rights advocates have expressed outrage at the treatment of the elderly woman, questioning the proportionality of the police response to what began as a minor traffic violation.
Community Outrage Grows
Local community leaders and civil liberties organisations have condemned the officers' actions, calling for a thorough investigation into police conduct and training procedures.
The case has reignited debates about police brutality and the use of excessive force against vulnerable individuals in the United States, particularly following the global Black Lives Matter protests.
Legal representatives for the grandmother have announced their intention to pursue legal action against the police department, citing clear violations of their client's civil rights and dignity.
