A woman’s arm was snapped by a police officer who previously boasted ‘I violate every policy’, according to a lawsuit.
Kathleen Keitz mentioned that she was seated in her car outside a shop in Covington, Kentucky, last year after discovering that her boyfriend was unfaithful.
Things went from bad to worse for Keitz when police arrived responding to a report that she was suicidal.
Officer Douglas Ullrich, captured on bodycam, approached her vehicle, knocked on the window, and instructed her to exit so they could inspect it for weapons.
The 34-year-old woman insisted she was alright and requested to be left alone, but Officer Ullrich persisted, warning: ‘If you don’t step out, I will have to pull you out, and I really don’t want to do that.’
Keitz exited the truck quickly, provoking officer Ullrich and his colleague to grab her wrists and restrain her.
Ullrich then remarked, ‘I’m just trying to take control because you’re behaving erratically,’ before pulling her left arm as his fellow officer immobilized her right arm.
The footage contains a noticeable sound of something breaking followed by Ullrich’s startled reaction, ‘oh s***,’ as Keitz cries out: ‘Oh my god! Oh my god! I think you broke my arm! I think you broke my arm!’

As Keitz was held by Officer Douglas Ullrich and his partner Sean Sinacori, she screamed out in panic, fearing her arm was broken.

Officer Ullrich has reportedly said, ‘I violate every policy,’ in a text chat with other cops
The harrowing incident was captured by body cam footage and acquired by the Atlanta Black Star.
According to the outlet, Keitz filed a lawsuit against the officers. It was one of the seven lawsuits against Ullrich in the past four years.
Officer Ullrich’s personnel records, published by the Star, state that he said ‘I violate every policy,’ in a 2014 text chat with other cops.
The cop has a long history of lawsuits against him for abuse of power – a total of seven in the past four years, according to the Star.
In the incident involving Keitz, video shows how the Kentucky woman was restrained, with officers reassuring her they were there to help.
Keitz is heard saying to Ullrich: ‘Take me to jail because of cussing at you?’
He told her: ‘Yes, because you’re yelling and screaming and being an a*****e about it.’
Sean Sinacori, who is seen in Ullrich’s bodycam footage, asked her to turn around to cuff her.
