    Police showed up to a rooming house in the middle of the night for a mental health call (which they shouldn't be doing anyway). Man "emerged armed with a pair of scissors" and they shot him dead? Surprised this hasn't gotten more attention.

        It speaks volumes about this country that 911 is often the frontline response to psychological crisis.

        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.

        All too common. Depending on the source, roughly 1,000 people a year are killed every year by law enforcement in this country, both in and out of custody.

        Doctors offices ask police for wellness checks all the time, why shouldn't they be following protocol? Did they just decide to do it for fun?

        Who would go to the mental health calls? I’m curious what’s your plan.

        I live near asbury and you have no idea how insane the divide between its black residents and the gentrified white businesses and police force is.

        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.

        Helping by muder, not sure that aligns with the intent of ‘wellness check’ but im sure the paid thigs will get away with it.

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

        How is it that circa 1960 New Orleans Police has a far better handle on dealing with those with psych issues who posed a danger? (see 1960 NOPD training video available on YouTube)
