The only important factor is Police Officer Safety.
So what if a 92 year old useless-feeder had a few bones broken?
Officer Safety Uber Alles, Kameraden!
Hamm was stupid.
He broke pelvic bones in a 91-year old, who most like will never recover and will die from the ihjuries. I hope the family sues the city.
Unless a frail, old man in is 90s has a loaded gun pointed at you, there is no need for this type of “restraint”. I hope the jury finds in favor of the minister. Please keep us posted on this lwd.

Travis, I hope that you just forgot the “sarcasm” tag and you do not really mean this.
Reality is that the officer used excessive force on an old man. This man’s life is altered forever. I hope he gets a good settlement. No officer should use that kind of force on the elderly. They are frail.
Law EnFORCEment.
My dad recently passed away. He fell while going to the mailbox and broke his neck. He was 88.
My personal opinion is that any “man” in his 20s - 50s that uses his physical force and weight against a man in his 80’s or 90’s, is someone who deserves to be beat to death.
If only there were a blind dog with wheels for back legs for Officer Smaldik to shoot...
Officer Hamm needs to be fired and charged with assault. Never to wear a badge again. His training officers need some remedial work too. What kind of idiot tackles a 92 year old man in a nursing home?
If I were a taxpayer in Salisbury, I would contact my realtor.
Yes, old folks can be combative but they generally do so with the speed of a snail, and the power of a butterfly.
Besides being an ass and absolute idiot, the cop was WAY out of line and should be prosecuted.
Jeez...what is up with these cops? A 92 year old man without a weapon is not a threat to anyone. The cop could have used zip ties if the old coot got too out of hand! Incredible!
“What kind of idiot tackles a 92 year old man in a nursing home?”
If he would do that to a frail old man in a nursing home what would be do to you or anyone else who defied him? He’s not unusual, that’s the kind of police training you have today. Blind obedience and overwhelming force. Perfect for a police state.
The old geezer is just lucky he didn’t get shot like the old pickup driving NASCAR fan did last week in SC when he raised his ‘deadly weapon’ (a walking cane) towards the officer.
The first step is to Eliminate All Claims of Immunity for any Public Servant, Public Official, or Public Employee that “Violates the Civil Rights” of ANY PERSON, Makes any Deliberate false statements, or violates any Law, Statute, Or Regulation.
When they bitch and whine:: DON’T BREAK THE LAW, DON’T LIE should be the Only Response.
I can’t imagine why anyone would possibly hate the pigs.
Ummm, no.
Jurors find OPD officer liable, award $880K, in excessive-force case
