[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the young man with disabilities also had schizophrenia and was recently off his meds.

The boys father is conscious but the mom is not and still in critical condition.

None of us know all the details and it's certainly possible the cop gravely overreacted, but people still need to stop calling this 32 year old man a "boy" or "child" or "young man." He was a physically grown man in his 30s. If you're a person in a store getting hit by an agitated man, it doesn't matter what his personal mental capacity was. From an investigation angle? Sure. From a person trying to figure out WTF is going on in the moment? Irrelevant. He was a tall, large, adult man.

And if the man was incapable of being in public safely (off his meds?!) then his caretakers should have taken all precautions to not bring an unsafe person in public.

Again, I'm not saying that being shot and killed is justified. None of us clearly know the details. But neither is belittling the personal responsibility of those who were shot. [/quote]

the personal responsibility of the hot-headed cop, you mean?[/quote]

Sure. And the personal responsibility of the unstable 32 year old man off his meds, in conjunction with his caretakers. [/quote]

Yep, the personal responsibility of the father, who intervened when his son pushed someone and tried to explain and calm everyone down, and then got shot by a nut job cop who doesn’t get that shooting three people isn’t an appropriate response to being pushed.[/quote]

Tabloid news isn't factual investigation, pp. [/quote]
