Colorado police officers charged in arrest of elderly women with dementia.

Wow, count me as shocked. I didn't actually see that coming, I thought it would get swept under the rug. And for me, it wasn't just about the treatment during the arrest, it was how they acted afterward. Terrible attitudes about taking down an older lady with dementia.

3 Colorado Officers Involved In Forceful Arrest Of Woman With Dementia Resign

"I share the community's concerns on this. It hurt to see that," Loveland Police Chief Robert Ticer said of the body camera footage of the arrest during a press conference. "I've been in law enforcement 32 years, and what I saw in there hurt me, personally."

An investigation has also been launched by the office of the Eighth Judicial District Attorney Gordon McLaughlin. The district's Critical Incident Response Team, composed of investigators from 10 area agencies in Larimer and Jackson counties, will investigate the incident.

They were already on administrative leave, If they didn't do anything wrong, why did they resign?

@ScottDLS - what possible difference could that make?

The department likely told them to resign, or get fired. If they're gone, the department can disassociate itself from them and hope to fade off community (and national) outcries. If they resign, they can go elsewhere and find it easier to get another job once the hubbub has died down. If they're fired, it would be more difficult. I've seen it happen in Federal Civil Service (not police incident, just the resigned vs fired thing).
