I'm not saying she deserved to be tossed to the ground but has anyone here ever had to face a confused person with alzheimer's?
I worked in a nursing home befor and seen a man slightly smaller than that elderly woman fling a 300 pound cna across the room. They can be qite strong and dangerous.
If it was me and the elderly person wouldnt put down the knife i'd probably do the same thing . The cop didnt know what her problem was hell she could have been tripping for all they knew.....and she had a knife.
But I think I would have tried to coax her a little bit more befor I tackled her....it did seem like a short time to me.....and i probably just would have twisted her arm till she dropped it......
I blame the daughter . My mother is disabled so I do have to take care of her if you know she has alzheimer's the best thing to do would probably be NOT LEAVING HER ALONE. Its her owne caregivers fault no one elses really.
Im more disgusted with the veiwers ...vile people
