If you redesign police policies to start with the assumption that zero people should be shot by police then you would have different policies for things like wellness checks.
A police officer went to a persons house when a crime was not in progress and killed someone. The initiating incident was and armed person attending the call.
Why do you send an armed person into this situation. We don’t arm social workers and psychiatrists.
A fundamental change in armed officers needs to be considered.
