  • At the same time, this was clearly a mental health issue. Cops just shouldn’t be sent alone to deal with those. They aren’t trained for it, and many aren’t trainable because it wasn’t part of the hiring criteria and they just don’t have the skills. We need an addition group trained for this that can better handle these things. That way no one has to die, and we don’t have to spend tons of taxpayer money because a cop was put in a position he was clearly unqualified for. Probably shouldn’t even have been a cop. But with high demand and low supply, they end up taking lots of people who should never be cops. Maybe this guy could have lead a happy and productive life as a plumber or something.
