[quote=Anonymous]This can happen even when someone is not violent, just out of control. When someone arrives to "help" without proper training they can escalate the situation to violence. The woman in the article had not been previously violent. Of course there are times when it's necessary to call police, but if it's calling police to get a person committed, this needs to be thought through and planned instead of naively putting a loved one's life in the hands of people who don't necessarily know what they're doing and are often fearful themselves and reactive (police). Instead of helping the person they can end up dead. [/quote]
