Just trying to understand why they are "peacefully protesting" Bad guy disobeys officers legal orders, charges them with a weapon and gets shot, what is there to "peacefully protest" about? What am I missing? 7 minutes ago, Jaraxxus said: It's not a peaceful protest till you run down the street with a stolen dryer.

oldmanfan Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The bad guy as you put it was a black man with a known history of bipolar disorder. The family apparently was telling the police that. Now if I'm the policeman and a guy is charging right at me with a knife I amy have no other choice. But why can't steps be taken beforehand to de-escalate things?

dpberr Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 On a practical level, if a social worker responds to that scene, he or she is likely stabbed to death. I don't know of any social worker who's going to make a career of entering situations like that unarmed. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the issue is the local and state health agencies should not be setting people with mental issues problems loose in the communities they serve? So the cops shoot knife wielding guy that comes at them. Queue the automatic conclusion the police acted improperly along with the standard looting and rioting. And then the likely blow back. My guess is this will impact enough voters that Pennsylvania will likely fall into the Trump win column next week. Well played BLM idiots, well played. Maybe they can start some riots in Michigan later this week? Edited October 28, 2020 by All_Pro_Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for more mental health counseling and more professionals and earlier intervention. as I said above if I'm the policeman and a guy is running at me with a knife I don't have much choice. Tasers? Shoot lower ? I would like to hear from professional law officers as to how that might occur. As for it affecting the election, dream on. There aren't many minds that aren't made up and Trump is losing. Every night he goes on TV dismissing his own health officials advice on Covid and putting people in harm's way reminds voters just how terrible a job he's done. He's going down, and nothing is going to change that now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state has gotten out of the non-correctional facility inpatient psychiatric care business for the most part. There's nowhere near enough beds and treatment professionals, nor the insurance coverage to pay for the treatment and the lifetime use of medications. The big component too, is that even if you receive treatment, get the medication and have all the insurance in the world to pay for it, you still have to want to take the medication and attend the therapy. Usually when people have a significant event, it's because they stopped doing those two things. That being said, until the toxicology comes back on this guy, I'm not 100% certain this was a manic depressive episode as being claimed. MD is not generally associated with running around with a knife, completely out of control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
