That said, 5 men could have clubbed the nut-case to the ground and taken him under arrest to the closest loony bin. They could have shot him with the bean bag gun. Instead they just opened fire.
The police acted with excessive force and malice. Voluntary manslaughter under color of authority -- the policemen had options other than exercising deadly force. |
There no longer is state run mental hospitals. At best they get taken to a place for 24 or 48 hours then dumped back on the streets again. It's that or they end up in prison for something and still don't get treatment. This is why they are on the street and this is how cops deal with them..
