'This is gonna be so fun,' TPD officer says before violent arrest of elderly woman in apparent mental health crisis

The Tulsa Police Department is responding after footage of an October arrest was posted to social media in which an officer is seen laughing about an arrestee's mental health status.

An officer identified as Ronni Carrocia is seen in the video laughing about a woman, LaDonna Paris, 70, being "mental" after Paris locked herself inside the bathroom of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore at East 13th Street and South Norwood Avenue.

Paris is heard saying "the cops are trying to kill me here" through the bathroom door. At other points in the video, Carrocia laughs, arcs a Taser, and rattles the door of the bathroom.

"This is gonna be so fun," Carrocia says. The video then cuts to another officer kicking down the bathroom door and forcing Paris to the ground. Paris is seen bleeding, apparently from an injury to her face.

3. Boy, the Department came down on them like god's own judgment

From the article:

In a release, TPD Capt. Richard Meulenberg said of the Oct. 25, 2021, arrest: "The overall actions of the Officers and the way in which the call was handled is within the policies of the Tulsa Police Department."

"To be clear, the banter between the officers outside of the presence of the suspect can be received as unprofessional and has been addressed with the Officers," Meulenberg said.

The Tulsa World reports Paris was "held in the Tulsa County jail for approximately a month before her charges were dismissed 'in the interest of justice and civil diversion,'" according to court records.

Their "banter" has been addressed. That's gotta hurt!

6. That's a level of concern worthy of Susan Collins.

I'm sure the two offending cops "learned a pretty big lesson".

5. The witch (I can speak plainer than that) of a police officer

needs to lose her qualification, and seek employment for the only other thing she is qualified for: burger flipper on the late shift at McDonalds.

10. That woman they brutalized has family

I cannot imagine if my own mother or my sister was having a mental break and some officers got all excited about brutalizing her. I would not rest until they paid.

13. The de escalation team was busy so they sent the escalation team.

I guess having women in charge isn’t going to be the solution we all were expecting/hoping for. Apparently they can be pigs too.
