4 Loveland Police officers on administrative leave in connection to Karen Garner arrest
The LPD officers on administrative leave include:
Officer Austin Hopp Officer Daria Jalali Sgt. Phil Metzler Community service officer Tyler Blackett
Schielke alleges the video shows the three arresting officers watching body camera video of Garner's arrest, laughing and celebrating the excessive force, and fist-bumping the fact that one of the officers intimidated a citizen who stopped to make a complaint.
Tom Hacker with the City of Loveland said officer Blackett was at the booking location where Garner was transported after her arrest and also engaged in the transfer of Garner to the Larimer County Jail.
"It's a really important thing for everyone to know that this is now a criminal investigation," said Hacker. "It's one that LPD asked for and the DA is taking it on Ft. Collins Police, both working on this [investigation] and we hope that this investigation goes as expeditiously as possible and that we learn of the outcome very soon."
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
