    My God. Our nation needs a completely different phone number to call for people with mental health issues and special needs. The cops don't even need to be doing this work in the first place.https://twitter.com/sahluwal/status/1127944850488287232 …

    Albion Police Officer Tyler Collins repeatedly punched Da'veon Cieslack, a 13 year-old black child with special needs, while he was handcuffed. Collins has been fired but the Calhoun County Prosecutor's office declined to charge him with a crime. pic.twitter.com/l76VzUV6Kj

        Black people will never be safe amongst these people. It isn’t a number that’s the problem. It’s them.

        They way we do policing in this country needs to be re-evaluated. As health care provider I have learned how to de escalate situations like this. We deal with behavioral problems all the time. Without resorting to violence. If we can. They can!

        Perhaps the Police Departments in the United States needs to be Shut Down and re-evaluated.

        There was another officer and a social worker from Summit Point Behavior Health present. They watched Collins USE EXCESSIVE FORCE against this child and did nothing to stop it. The community is outraged!!

        For once I agree with you. The cop was completely ill-equipped to handle a situation involving someone with those kind of mental issues. There should be a policy put in place to require a mental health expert on the scene to deal with cases like these.

        My Alma Mater. I knew for a fact there were a few crooked one’s my entire stay at Albion College. (From a lot of my local, non-Albion college friends) Tyler shouldn’t have been able to be a cop, based on the energy he exerted toward minority’s.

        It would be the responsible thing to do to send a mental health professional to the scene when someone is having a psychological episode, with maybe police assistance. unfortunately most cops aren’t there to deescalate a suggestion their there to escalate.

        Is having #ZeroCompassion & #ThinSkin requirements for getting a #LawEnforcement job these days? Are they #AboveTheLaw ? Why didn’t he get charged? Is he banned from #Police #Security and any other kind of #Policing for life?

        I was told this morning that because Georgia is trying to pass a heartbeat bill, that we should not be paying attention to past or current events like this. Anyone care to point out what's wrong with that thinking?
