None of us know the whole story yet. We need to
learn to ask questions first before concluding. It seems like a sudden decision to
start firing to me personally but we could all use
more info instead of making assumptions.

Back in the early 70's when I was a kid riding a
bike with my friends a guy came out of his house
with a gun to his head. The cops showed up and it was just like this video. The cops pulled up and started shooting the hell out of this guy. All these years nothing's changed.

Never call the police when a family member is
having a mental episode (including suicide). They
are not trained to handle those types of situations.

Well, I would venture to say the sons' firearm
probably pointed at them, in which they acted
first. I've heard of this before. They call it suicide
by cop. The cop has no choice, they have to
protect themselves. People unstable won't do it to
themselves so they provoke an LEO too.
@notoriousslam
911 was called for a suicidal man and three police
units respond? I don't think so. There is surely a
lot of information missing here. Horrifying.
@mikeymumbelz
The fact this dude survived is a fucking miracle.
Hopefully, the payout shuts down that
department.
