Well, not completely left alone. Someone has to ensure they don't just continue on their way before they are sober.

And this is a good use of finite resources?

At what point do you believe a LEO was in legitimate threat of serious bodily harm in this situation?


When they showed up and the guy was acting irrationaly and admitted to smoking something and had weapons. Beyond that he did not obey the commands and later armed himself with a knife and attempted to stab an officer.

Aren't you a paralegal or something? You don't know the difference between "If no crime has been committed" and "No crime has been committed"?

Right and I and I think others have asked, what is a typical policy...but no one seems to know.



Well I've been part of some training sessions on zoom where residents try to train cops to recognize mental health episodes, and I don't think this one suburban department that participated had any protocol in place previously. I don't know that we can extrapolate from that experience and I imagine it gets more complicated in larger departments, as already to organize that session required heavy incentives for the lecturer and the attendees.

No they should have just left after an initial check, which is what it appears the supervisor told them they should.

Murdering a person who was no threat to anyone is a more suboptimal use of resources, especially since the situation was escalated solely by LEO behavior.

The one dude has posted no less than 4 times that that comment was a a response to an "IF" hypothetical question, but you've yet to acknowledge that.

He's just arguing to argue, and hear himself. He's not that stupid.

He says they should have left him alone, he knows better. He's just being an arse.

LEO: we don't believe a crime has been committed

Supervisor: if no crime is committed, then you should leave

That's an assumption. A big one.

This thread is reminding me of the initial Ahmed Aubrey threads.

LOTS of edited posts in those threads if you go look for them now

Not letting the guy throw this knife out was an incredibly dumb decision. No one was at risk of being stabbed at that point. Let him get rid of the only weapon that can cause him or the officers any harm. Because of that, this kid is dead instead of getting the mental help that he needed.

Has anyone already mentioned that he did not comply?

"Comply or die" seems to the consensus on the board in other cases.

In a 911 call, obtained by 9NEWS, 22-year-old Glass tells the call taker that he's stuck. He also appears to be delusional and paranoid, saying he's seeing skin-walkers and he might have to go kill them.



Anyone read that?

Yeah anyone that has been here a while knows his schtick. Surprised quite a few others are stupid enough to go along with it.
