There are two ways to handle things. The right way and the Gestapo Police Brute Force way. Picture a frail, 84-Year-Old lady, walking dazed and confused in a WalMart parking lot carrying a steak knife and gimping along on a cane.
Would she be a threat to you? Well she was to the police. So much so that an officer flips her and cracks her skull wide open on the parking lot.

Monday, August 10, 2009On the night of August 1, at a Whitehall, Ohio Walmart, Virginia Dodson could not remember why she was sitting alone in a car. Coming to grips with her enclosed environment, it dawned on her that she did not know how to unbuckle her seat belt either. Panic began to take hold.
Her solution was to scrounge up a steak knife and cut through the straps, eventually finding her way into the confusing world of the parking lot, still wielding the blade.
Virginia, an 84-year-old African American, has Alzheimer’s disease. Like many other sufferers, the responsibility for her care fell to her adult child. Her daughter, however, was inside the store.
It was only a short matter of time before the police were called.
As she wandered the parking lot calling her daughter’s name, she was approached by a white, female officer who clearly ordered her to drop the weapon. She did not.
What happened next was captured on video and uploaded that same night to YouTube by user “mainetaine187,” who says on camera as the scene escalates, “We gotta get real footage of this shit, haha!”
Police are supposed to use reasonable force. As you can tell by the crowd reaction, the cops were lucky not to have had their skulls cracked open. This was unreasonable force. The cop did not try and talk to the woman. She just grabbed the old lady and flip her onto the pavement causing grave injury.
Listen to how all sides view this and how the media portrayed it.
