The family had called for an ambulance. He was in mental crisis. The police knew this. They knew he was not capable of processing their orders. He was walking in circles until they arrived. Defunding mental health and turning it over to communities where the money went to support everything else is a major contributor here. Should we shoot all with mental defects. Autistic? Schizophrenic? Diabetic? When an ambulance is requested why bring 20 bullets.
