Family Calls 911 As Son Threatens Suicide, Cops Show Up And Kill Him

[BigL187]

In yet another instance of police making a bad situation infinitely worse, a Virginia family was left reeling when an officer shot their son to death despite being called to out to help stop the boy killing himself.

Seventeen-year-old Christian Alberto Sierra was suffering from depression which led to a full scale breakdown and attempted suicide.

Sierra’s desperate family called 911 when their son started to harm himself with a knife while at a friend’s house. On hearing that the police were on their way, Sierra fled.

With the friend in pursuit, several witnesses in the neighborhood said they heard a police officer yell “Freeze!” or “Stop!” and then heard three to four shots.

One witness noted that Sierra said “I don’t want to live anymore.” The neighbor described seeing him collapse on the ground, then get up and turn toward the police, prompting one officer to shoot.

Shortly thereafter, Sierra was pronounced dead.

Oh wait, its an Alex Jones headline. Now it all makes sense.

Be reasonable. A suicidal teenager cutting himself and charging at people with a knife is not the time for a beat cop to "understand" mental illness.

I worked a mental hospital for a few years and remember a similar case. Dude had been discharged for a few months and stopped taking his meds. Cops were responding to a disturbance and he lunged and they shot. Cops are really not into dealing with the mentally disturbed....in particularly when they are knife wielding at the time.
