Couldnt pay me to be a US cop.
Oh dear, not the first time I've seen that either. Really bad timing as well.
It still does reiterate the point though, that even when the police are in the wrong as in this case, it's usually started by the suspecting resisting in some manner. The suspects know what they are doing, they a rolling the dice and sometimes it doesn't go their way.
Yes, great channel.Police Activity. The only channel you need to see what the cops in the US have to face.

Some of those videos are scary. If that's what they have to face then the American police must be on edge all the time. But, I don't understand why some of the 'citizens' behave so irrationally...Police Activity. The only channel you need to see what the cops in the US have to face.

But what happens when the person with mental health issues pulls out a gun and kills them?
What will people say then?
How do you determine if someone is mentally ill? Usually 911 get a call from someone reporting a person with a knife or gun, police turn up and within minutes it's all over. There's no time to call in the social workers.You obviously have an officer there as well, stood back but close enough to intervene if necessary. If the mental health professional can't talk them down or it gets dangerous then the police can handle it. Its far better to try and deescalate it though, the idea is to protect life and the police aren't trained to deal with a mental health crisis.

Yes I've seen them, but who is making this determination if they are mentally ill? Is it the job of the person making the phone call, the dispatcher, the police? Someone has to make the decision for the police to stand back and send the social workers in. If it's the police, then they are already on scene, and will have to deal with the potential threat, because in the end, the person has a weapon and is a danger, mentally ill or not.Have you never seen anyone who you thought was suffering a mental health crisis or clearly isn't all there mentally, paranoid, ranting etc? We aren't talking about bank robbers who might have mental health issues here. To be honest I can't imagine any police would have issue with cases like this being taken off their hands if at all possible. It doesn't sound like you'd have any idea how to deal with a situation like this so why do you expect they would?

Who the hell wants to be a social worker turning up to that...
Honestly i dont know what is going on in these videos, multiple shots, everyone is still alive???
Like she is shot 6 times yet a few minutes later grabbing the dog???
And yet some people will say in criticism "why do they have to fire so many bullets?" It often takes many to put someone down.Honestly i dont know what is going on in these videos, multiple shots, everyone is still alive???

Real life isn't like the movies.
Contrary to what hollywood will have you believe, the only time someone is likely to drop dead from one bullet, is a headshot. Anywhere else they could still potentially fight back, even if only for a few moments.
Not really, they didn't shoot him did they. They had their guns drawn, rightly so because they couldn't see inside the vehicle because of the tints, and he didn't pull over immediately, massive red flags.
That's very generous of you to say the event which didn't happen would have gone fine.Yep if he pulled over when prompted things wouldn’t have gone south the way they did. Instead he managed to get one of the officers fired…
Often the police are called to do "Welfare checks" on people who are suspected to have self harmed or become incapacitated, they get those calls because quite often the funding from other departments has been cut to pay for the police - this is where a lot of the "defund the police" calls come from, remove the money the police have been given to deal with those calls as the primary responders and instead give some of it to the likes of properly trained people, pretty much everywhere it's been tried (in both the US and elsewhere*) it's turned out to be cheaper and more effective than tying up several fully trained police on every call when often a cheaper medically trained person would do better.Yes I've seen them, but who is making this determination if they are mentally ill?
