'It could have saved his life': Father of man fatally shot by police pushes for rollout of onsite crisis cliniciansSchizophrenia sufferer Todd McKenzie was shot after a stand-off with police lasting several hours. Under a new program, a mental health professional would have been part of the police response. Why aren’t white people burning the city down in peaceful protests ? Absolutely tragic. The PACER model is essential, given that 50% of police shooting fatalities in NSW are of people with mental illness. I hope that it is expanded to regional areas too. It’s that...or disarm police.
