Thats true. A Holistic approach is needed to improve the system. I have talked to people involved occupational medicine, psychologist, and physiotherapists, and they tell me that its very hard for cops with PTSD and depression to get proper recovery plan and get back to work. They just frankly get discarded by the people who are there to support them. A lot of them have to hire lawyers against their insurance companies.
And I like discussion about when and why guns are needed, and where should the person be shot, but in this particular case, all of this could have been avoided if they just sit back, make a plan no matter how many hours it takes, and execute it with
saving the life of the person as a priority. This was executed so poorly that someone deserve some type of punishment for this. Those three on the balcony need to be thrown out of the their jobs for sure. You don't need an "investigation" to know this was wrong.
