Disturbing footage shows a Baltimore cop dragging a grandmother, 76, out of her house and slamming her on the ground - even after his partner said 'be easy with her'

The Baltimore County Police Department released bodycam footage of the controversial arrest of a 76-year-old grandmother earlier this month after video was circulated showing her being body slammed by a cop.

Baltimore County Police Corporal Brennan can be seen grabbing Rena Mellerson in the clip and dragging her outside of the Windsor Mill home on January 10.

It is then that Officer Schmidt is seen taking her by the upper torso and slamming her to the ground.

She was seated on the steps confused. All the cop said was her granddaughter was under arrest for disorderly conduct. Grandma was seated on the steps, granddaughter was downstairs. Grandma was no threat sitting on steps going upstairs when clearly granddaughter was downstairs. To say 76 year old, confused grandmother, sitting on steps going upstairs was a threat to arresting granddaughter who was downstairs was not proper. It was wrong to grab her and throw her outside. Granddaughter was downstairs hiding. The police officer escalated this and did nothing but add to the confusion on the grandma's side.

She deserved worse that didn't look like a slam to me. It was too gentle. Headline over stated.

People are stupid. If cops come to your door don’t answer or answer through a locked door or window. If they have a search warrant, you have to let them in or they can break in. If they have an arrest warrant, it is for the person and not the premises. If the person is there and they find out you’ll be charged with harboring a fugitive and a myriad of other charges. You have the right to receive and read a copy of the warrant. If the person named in an arrest warrant is not there, tell them they are trespassing and to leave. Get names and badge numbers and file complaints. Use their system to overwhelm their own system. Otherwise, when dealing with cops, STFU.

Every time people get hurt with the cops is because they

Their OWN fault , NOT the cops !!! Race Nothing to do w/ it !!

Northwest Woodsman: The most disturbing thing about this video is that the police officer didn’t realize that the law does not apply to this type of individual. They realize that they are a protected class and they think they can get away with anything and they have no idea that they are engaged in illegal and obstructive behavior. Typically, after all that activity leading up to her takedown, the first words out of her mouth were “I dindu nuffin “ when it is obvious to us that she was obstructing and resisting. In her mind, she really dindunuffin and she didn’t understand the consequences of her actions. This is where the impulsiveness, low IQ, and inability to foresee consequences comes into play. This is the result of pandering to a group for years and allowing them to get away with breaking our laws. The culture, values, and rules of general behavior are not consistent with our civilization and we have had to modify our responses accordingly. Unfortunately, making those exceptions and modifications, the result is that their behavior is regressing to primitive instinct and it gets worse as time goes by. A culture that is unable to assimilate after 300 years will never fully integrate and short of separation, there is no solution. Refute that little bit of truth if you can.

Question: If cops had a warrant, why wouldn't they enter the house? I have heard if a cop puts his foot on a doorsill and occupant makes no effort to remove it, that is granting said cop permission to enter. What was the granddaughter arrested for in the first place?

No Excuses for being STUPID !!!
Cop says DO it > YOU DO it !!! case over

Granny needed that . The adults treat the police with such disrespect and that is why the youth do the same thing. Age doesn't matter..........you obey the officers orders and treat them with the same respect that you think you deserve or you get what granny got.
