>> we don't play this game. if you try to kick me, oh, this is going to be bad. >> reporter: the officer was on the scene and came around to assist the officer while they restrained garner. >> ow! >> reporter: garner's shoulder was dislocated and her arm broken. >> austin hop used excessive fors in the arrest of ms. garner and that resulted in seriously bodly injury. the other officer having witnessed the excessive force, failed to live up to her duties as a sworn peace officer. >> reporter: it was announced that they are charging both officers. >> i understand that, but you kept fighting us. >> reporter: she told the officers she was in pain 30 times and was denied medical care for more than six hours. >> torture has been exposed here. >> reporter: the family attorney said that three more officers should also be charged.

including at least one who was captured watching footage of the arrest with the officers. >> love wen up mmands that varioevel >>orter: there will be s a y beinoo >> my response to that is simple. this all happened nearly year ago. and all of this is only heard because we filed a lawsuit and we released the videos. all of this speaks to a culture and an environment that made it possible for that to happen. >> i fully support these charges. >> reporter: the police chief in loveland, colorado said he did not see the videos until this april. ten months after karen was arrested. >> questions to why and how long

it took for that notification to occur will no doubt occur through the criminal investigation. >> you i feel like, they are still letting everybody down. >> reporter: karen's daughter believes the supervisors need to be fired too. >> my mom would be ashamed, she looks up to the policemen in uniform. they are there to protect you. not to harm you. >> reporter: you have to wonder how did the police chief not know about what happened. he claims he did not know until a year after the incident. by the way, the department is undergone alzheimer's awareness training and underwent it immediately after the video came to light after it was released by the family attorney and the department will enhance the deescalation techniques in the coming weeks and months. >> after a year of nationwide protests over police brutality, a dozen police reforms have been enacted and that led to officers

to complain that the city is turning its back on them. the police chief tells cbs news, the 260 officers about 20% of the force have left in the past year and a half. carter evans >> reporter: what's the biggest. >> 30 years was the goal. >> reporter: why are you retiring now? >> the support that we had in my generation of policing is no longer there. >> reporter: last summer's protests over the killing of george floyd led to violent clashes with seattle police. powell said the stress on officers was compounded by city leaders decisions to abandon a police precinct and letting demonstrat demonstrators, some armed a neighbor for a full month. >> we got rocks and bottles in some cases, cinder blocks and we have to stand there and take it.

it's discouraging. >> reporter: were you told to not react? >> in most cases, yeah. when you see businesses get destroyed and families lose their livelihood because of the destruction and we cannot do anything about it. we are not allowed to intervene. >> reporter: you are not allowed to intervene? >> no. no. >> reporter: city leaders allowed the police free zone after protesters were repeatedly hit by tear gas. but closed it down after weeks of violence. >> the issue here is that for generations our black and brown community members have been asking for more accountability. >> reporter: city council women tammy morales, voted for a 13% cut in the police budget in november. >> we spend about $400 million a year on the police department. and as a city, we don't spend on the kind of things that could really support neighborhoods. affordable housing, neighborhood planning, small business development. >> you are talking about taking the money and approaching a systemic problem at the ground

level now. >> yeah. >> we are here to fix a broken system. >> reporter: the money that was cut will be reallocated through an undefined process involving community members. in the meantime, is the police department under funded to do its job while you are developing haul all the other resources. >> i would say no. >> reporter: if the crime rate goes up, is that acceptable? >> so if we are investing in communities thay s ties that wa be, we can address that. >> reporter: after the council cut the police budget, the department's then chief, retired early in protest. interim chief adrian diaz took oef over. does it concern you that so many people are leaving so fast from the department? >> it does. we saw our shootings and homicides go up. >> reporter: does it slow down response time? >> it does. >> reporter: it looks like you

are forced to cut the people that protesters would like to see more of your force? >> yeah, i think those are so valuable. >> reporter: while clayton powell objects to how the city is treating its police force, as an african-american man, he understands the outrage over the murder of george floyd and others. >> that could be me, that could be my son. that could be a relative. that could be a friend. there needs to be an understanding of how things got to be the way they are. >> reporter: but funding the police, is that the way to do it? >> no, if anything, you need more funding. >> reporter: but that is unlikely. another $5 million in police budget cuts are on the table.
