In a Walmart in Danville, Kentucky, 66 year old John Hardwick (who had been diagnosed with dementia) was mistreated by Walmart employees while on a grocery shopping trip with his wife. They callously mistook John’s confusion (due to his dementia) for attempted shoplifting, and then called the police. But the police were worse. Officer TJ Godbey punched this vulnerable man 6 times, which was caught on video. And then he, along with Danville Police Officer Ben Ray, arrested John. A lawsuit was filed, which I covered about a year ago. That case has now been settled, with the government claiming the high road. But there’s something they’re not telling you, and they can’t be allowed to cover it up, and escape accountability.

66 year-old John Hardwick is a dementia patient who loves to shop with his wife at the Walmart in Danville, Kentucky. As they were shopping, he became separated from his wife. He ended up getting violently arrested by officers with the Danville Police Department. They ended up at the hospital, claiming that Mr. Hardwick was intoxicated, rather than suffering from severe dementia. New footage reveals the shocking events that occurred in between, when the Boyle County jail refused to admit Mr. Hardwick. The real reason isn’t what the cops told people at the hospital, nor what they put in their report.

Here’s the first video.

Here’s the third video about the other dementia victim.

Here’s where the prosecutor was attempting to gaslight a judge, asking for this elderly dementia patient to plead guilty to being intoxicated, when he wasn’t intoxicated:
