:francis:

why did the police rush towards him gun drawn when there was no urgency(no one was in harms way)? there was a fence seperating them and he didn't seem physically fit enough to jump over it, so this seems like this could have been handled by some social workers instead of the death squad that was sent over.

Police did nothing wrong. Its not their job to play clinical psychologist. They were sent to neutralize a man with a knife. And they did that.


Blame goes entirely to the naive Hispanic parents who thought the police were the right people to talk down their violent and unreasonable son. Arguably, the police saved the lives of the parents that were liable to be stabbed to death that day also.


And they are waisting time protesting in racist ass, Republican idaho. That is an extremely propolice state .

That's one thing some parents need to be aware of in situations like these.

Didn't watch the video but that tweet said it was a neighbor who called the police, not the parents.
But i did watch the video. I suggest that you do so also.

And the mother directly told the news reporter she was hoping police deescalated the situation.
