A mom calls police for help for her son because she likely has no other options, and police have no other training for this type of situation other than to shoot a 13-year old kid. If the money that paid for those unqualified officers were instead allocated to social workers who were trained how to deal with a kid having a mental breakdown, then no bullets are needed. |
How does that video not make you cry? And not just the outcome, but knowing how preventable it was, and even knowing at least one officer in that scenario knew what the most likely outcome was and was unable to stop it.
Changes must be made.
