You wouldn’t say this if they shot him. But your question speaks more to the fact that we don’t have an infrastructure where mental health experts get dispatched. Some districts have started having them along side cops on a test basis but it’s not widespread. She called them because she didn’t know what else to do and I can empathize to a degree but unless your life is in danger, there’s almost no scenario where you should call the cops on a black man.

Yes I would.

She specifically told dispatch that hes unarmed and is a danger to himself more than anything, so do not use lethal force. So if they shot him, thats on THEM, NOT HER.

I just dont understand why yall just casually assume that she didnt try everything she possibly could to stop the situation from going from bad to worse. Was she supposed to lasso him and tie him up?:heh: the man has gone off the deep end, isnt acting normally... there is no telling what hes capable of anymore at this point. Thats the key to this that yall are missing. This isnt some lovers quarrel, Dude is randomly acting like hes possessed, will not calm down, threatening to hurt himself etc and needs to be restrained somehow.

Could be as simple as him breaking into his own house to get his stuff and if she physically tried to stop/hit him and he pushed her outta the way.

I'll wait before I judge
You can't get a burglary charge for breaking into your own house :unimpressed:
At least not under the common law or in Washington :patrice:

He very well could have done nothing outside of trying to break in and fighting police, hopefully it’s just that
Putting hands on cops can be bad news on its own - I pushed a cop back after he hit me with a knee-knocker last year, and if I wasn't de-arrested I'd have caught a felony charge :francis:

Can't see the NFL lasting 50 years, especially if they open every football players brain up

It's genuinely not a brain thing. He keeps posting cte, but that's not it. He didn't reply to my post for a reason.

For me, football was a coping mechanism for all of my problems. If I had a fukked up day I would take it out on someone trying to block me, someone running with the ball, the quarterback. When I actually processed all of my anger I became worse at football.....a lot worse.

To be good at football you need two things:
1. Forsaking yourself and your well-being
2. A depth of anger that's really hard to explain

It's very easy to dismiss it as some sort of disorder because their brain is damaged. Cte is a real thing, but it makes you more of a danger to yourself than other people. All of the violence against other people became a problem as coaches, teams, communities started sweeping wild behavior under the rug.
