However, she began shouting, [snorts] becoming verbally aggressive, and eventually she spat at the staff and the officers trying to manage the situation.

I want the video of him pushing me when I was just walking. >> I want the video. Can you get the video of him pushing me when I'm just walking gently?

He stopped the situation, reported the use of force, and made sure the incident wasn't swept under the rug. And that right there is what accountability looks like inside a department, not after the fact. That same night, officer Moranto was placed on administrative leave. Just 3 days later, on May 23rd, Loveland Police Chief Tim Doran terminated him from the department [music] entirely. You spitting? Angelia, look at me. Angelia, you taking some breaths?

The Loveland Police Department turned the investigation over to the Lammer County Sheriff's Office to avoid conflicts of interest. Their role was to determine whether Moranto's actions were not just a policy violation, but a crime. That investigation wrapped in June. And as of this point, the district attorney's office has not yet made a decision on whether charges will be filed against Moranto. Meanwhile, Hall herself is facing a thirdderee assault charge for spitting at the officer and medical staff. If you found this breakdown helpful, go ahead and hit that like button.
