Why would it get any attention from a media class that really doesn't have any solidarity with the poor or with mentally ill people? Clearly the media only report on such cases if it can be spun to either give them revenue or harm someone powerful.

As usual placing the blame on the police. Who requested the mental health check? And why? I guess a person can only have mental issues during the day.

They should understand that they are entering into someone else's house in the middle of the night, and know that that who they are "helping" is probably gonna think someone broke into his house. He did not have a rifle, or even a knife. He should be alive.

Armed men with poor impulse control and an IQ of 90 should not be making "mental health calls."
