Update: We're happy to report that police in this case are being held responsible. The officer who threw Karen Garner to the ground while arresting her, Austin Hopp, was charged with assaulting Garner; the other officer in the case, Daria Jalali, was charged with not intervening in a case of excessive force or reporting it.
