Mental Health /Crises does not negate the risk the individual may pose. Any kind of impaired or cognitive impairment by the person makes the assesment of the threat they pose more complex.

Yorkshire ripper and Fred West had mental issues it doesn’t mean shit when they’re running at you with a knife, idiots

Of course it does, what sane person would be out chasing police with a knife

Next time that lawyer will be taken to violent disturbance call as a social worker. Regardless if he wants that or not. He will handle it all.

Anybody talk to Mr. Wallace’s prescriber yet What Rx psych drugs was Mr. Wallace under influence of? Rx ‘mental health’ Pills with Black Box Warnings & suicide side effects? One pill? A cocktail of pills? Talk to his Presciber Rx 💊

and the other 10 times he went to jail?

probably should have stayed off drugs...and not have attacked people with a knife!

a long term mental health crisis. he had earlier pointed a gun at a woman's head.

Problem is the knife doesn't care about mental health and where it goes...cop needs to make a split second choice whether he has dinner with family that night or not.. 2 conflicting scenarios that need attention not condemning...

Good thing they shot him before any innocent people got stabbed

14 gun shots in a man they were told was suffering with mental health issues... Make it make sense. Yes, he had a weapon, but a couple shots in his legs would have nullified the threat and preserved his life.

The ritual of an unnecessary police killing with no real accountability has become painfully familiar. U.S. laws protect police, while endangering civilians.

Not sure what else it'll tell you that the bystander footage didn't. The guy had a knife and advanced aggressively towards the officers. If I had been in their shoes, and some large bloke was coming at me with a knife, I would've shot him too.
