        This is a picture of #SaheedVassell in the act. Unfortunately he was menacing innocent people and his behavior was designed to cause distress and panic. Can't blame the people who called 911 or the NYPD for thinking that he was an out-of-control man brandishing a deadly weapon.pic.twitter.com/h4mCryeuUY

        Yes this is understandable, but a man who was emotionally disturbed killed kids at school, with an assault rifle, wasn’t killed or shot once. He is Actually receiving fan mail. This man with a shower head is dead.

        Yes. We know now that it WAS a shower head, but sadly he created the very strong impression, deliberately, (sick or not), that it was a gun and he was ready to kill innocent people.

        If they can bring in the unibomber and regularly stop fortified militia takeovers without casualties, they can sure as hell stop black guys with showerheads and 14 year olds running away.

        Especially given the fact that none of the unarmed black people killed by cop hadn't shot anyone before LE arrived, or didn't shoot at a cop or any know victim by arrival... wtf is the hurry to kill the person of interest? How can it not be racism?

        At Best Buy, employees have to take modules EVERY month to make sure they know how to sell to customers. There needs to be a timed test that police have to take every month, where they as quickly as they can have to identify gun or household object because..

        Do you realize how quickly a gun can be shot? Action is faster than reaction, so time is already not on the side of a cop. I’d rather mistake it to be a household item then lose my life. Yes I agree more training is necessary. The issue is the funding for training.

        I kinda believe that the training might be the problem in the first place. How the officers are trained

        For those that say, just comply and you won't get shot. I have a friend that has seizures. He can't comply with orders or instructions for about 30 minutes after a seizure. Autistic people sometimes can't. Mentally I'll cant at times. Drunk drivers almost never do. Deescalate!
