This is no surprise to most cops. It also conflicts with the left-wing narrative about police shootings.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1131205172535939074 …

That they result mainly from racist white cops shooting young black men who are just minding their own business or, at worst, committing mostly harmless petty teen hooliganism - as opposed to mostly arising from dangerous, unstable, unpredictable situations.

The logic here is to train cops to deal with mentally ill people—and I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital with both dangerous and non dangerous patients.

I have no quarrel with the argument that this can be improved. But by that point you're a long, long way from the narrative.

Except the narrative has too much empirical evidence that just keeps piling up: a man shot in the back and then the cop plants dope on his dead body; a boy with a toy gun killed in seconds; a man killed in his car after carefully following police instructions. Much more.

Anecdote and data are different things. We understand this when dealing with, say, sensational crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Individual criminal cases, even extreme ones, are often a bad way to make sweeping public policy judgments.

Yeah, of course, but, if anything, the events now captured on video raise the question of how many similar events occurred over many decades in which a man died and the only witnesses were the cops themselves.
