Shocking new video shows two Colorado cops under investigation for their violent arrest of an elderly women with dementia laughing and cheering - and giving each other a fist bump - as they watched body-camera footage of the altercation hours later.
They were celebrating all while the 73-year-old woman was suffering in a jail cell, disheveled and seeming to lose consciousness several times.
Loveland Police Officers Austin Hopp and Daria Jalali arrested 73-year-old Karen Garner on June 26, 2020, after she left Walmart without paying for a candy bar, a can of Pepsi and a t-shirt totaling $13.38.
The store later confirmed it had recovered the items and hadn't lost any money.
City officials haven't apologized to the woman or her family, according to the Loveland Reporter-Herald. The footage of the arrest caught fire on social media after its release earlier the month in the wake of a new lawsuit against the department.
Footage from Hopp's body-camera shows him slamming Garner to the ground, causing her to fracture her elbow and dislocate her shoulder.
Outrage over the clip was so intense that state prosecutors launched a criminal investigation into Hopp, Jalali and their supervisor on-scene supervising sergeant Phil Metzler last week.
On Monday Gardner's attorney Sarah Schielke released surveillance video purportedly showing Hopp and Jalali celebrating as they reviewed body-camera footage of Gardner's arrest.
Schielke said the officers could be heard mocking the 'pop' when Gardner's shoulder dislocated while she sat a few yards away in a cell without having received any medical attention.

Surveillance footage from the Loveland Police Department showed three officers - two of them identified as Hopp and Jalali - gathered around a computer to watch the body-camera footage.

When the third unnamed officer asks: 'What popped?', Hopp nonchalantly replies: 'I think it was her shoulder.'
The civil rights attorney said Gardner's family hired a sound engineer to enhance audio on booking videos from the day of her arrest.
'The video reveals a grotesque culture of callous disregard for the health and safety of citizens,' Schielke wrote.
Hopp has been placed on administrative leave and Jalali was re-assigned to desk duty pending the internal investigation by the District Attorney for Larimer and Jackson counties, Gordon McLaughlin.
