looks like this old innocent black woman will be getting a judgement of cash in her favor after the cops went all stupid and broke her arm, and more........
Oklahoma City, OK — Ruby Jones, 74, has never been in trouble with police. And, when police came to her home back in August, they were not there for her. However, because the officers were completely incompetent when it comes to de-escalation and common decency, Jones would leave her home in handcuffs, having been assaulted by police, and, with a broken arm.
This week, the taxpayers of Oklahoma City were put on notice that they will be held liable for the actions of officers Dan Bradley, Ryan Staggs and James Ray. Each officer either used excessive force against Jones or failed to intervene in her assault to stop it, according to a lawsuit filed by Jones.
According to police, they were at Jones’ home that day to arrest her mentally ill grandson for allegedly calling in a bomb threat to a mental health facility at which he used to be a patient. Though the incident happened back in August, police didn’t release the body camera footage until this year.
As the footage shows, Jones is simply pleading with the cops, informing them that her son is mentally ill and to please take care.
“What’s going on?” Jones asked.
“He has a warrant for his arrest,” an officer responded.
As Jones attempted to get more information from the officers and tell them how to approach her son, they shoved her aside and forced their way into her home.
“He’s bipolar,” Jones said............read and watch more......
