"Is he bipolar schizo?"

What a cunt of a human being. He used a child-like level of insulting language, escalated at evey situation, tazed needlessly and without warning, and made zero attempts to do anything but bark orders to a person who is CLEARLY in a distressed mental state and unable to comply.

As bad as it is, situations like these make me do a little cheer in my head every time I see an article where a police officer dies.

They kill so many people compared to every other civilized nation, hopefully they die at increased rates as well. It's only fair, right?

I admit I feel guilty to feel that way, but it's the result of seeing the police betray the public at every turn. Crushing protests, shooting people running away, beating people senseless for seemingly nothing, slamming a man to the pavement walking to work which broke his skull and left him with life long brain damage. Shouting at EVERYONE for EVERYTHING. Illegally arresting people shouting "STOP RESISTING" as the person is contorted and unable to move. While raining punches and knees down on men, women, children (especially black children) who are face down on the ground. All while communicating like impatient children. Expecting the public to bow to them without question. It's all so old and ubiquitous.

There are thousands of these videos at this point. They've been terrors for long before we all had cameras. Now we just see it.

Just remember, if you have a problem and call the police, now you have two problems.

Fuck the police. ACAB. etc.

Don’t call the cops for mental health emergencies. They end in death or slightly better (shot and charged).

The most important part of becoming a cop is apparently lacking empathy.

The guy who created Killology, and anyone else who has created training which teaches cops that everyone else is a dangerous enemy, should be prosecuted for conspiracy to commit murder (or similar) every time a cop who received their training kills someone.

I'm not making an account to see a damned video. I'll just assume the cop is a deranged asshole.

Conservatives should not be permitted to hold positions of authority. They lack empathy, which makes it nearly impossible for them to de-escalate or treat mental health crises appropriately.

Police are not therapists and psychologists.

Judge: When she yelled out please don't shoot, why did you shoot?

Officer: What I thought she said was "Please, shoot! He has an AK hidden underneath his shorts! Also they identify as a black FTM gay atheist!"

Judge: Understandable, I think I can hear that as well upon reviewing the footage again, case dismissed!

/S

I feel for the family, mental health issues are not an easy thing to handle even when being treated. My grandmother had issues later in life including dementia and a few times we had to make sure to keep sharp objects out of the picture. It's not easy. I hope that this helps improve things for others down the line in some way, improved police training, improved awareness, something.

The lack of justice system reform is the 1% telling us the George floydd protests didn't go far enough. So go further i guess.

Maybe we're doing this all wrong. Maybe we need to use reverse-psychology on these simple-minded cops and start begging them to murder our loved ones when they're having mental health crises.

Yeah, that's just one of many horrible facets to consider when considering mental illness. I am so sad for their family. Those high pressure situations like that can be so dangerous. I just hate all that for him and for them.

I mean, realistically, the police are trained in combat enough to disarm a mentally ill civilian with a pair of scissors without having to resort to murdering him.

May God have mercy on us all.
