    The real culprit in all of this is America's shiity support for people with mental illnesses.

    The current policy is, "Let them go out and do what they want, until they do something severe enough to get them a prison sentence."

    While all that may be true. He'd still be alive if he were white. So the main culprit in this particular case is racism.

    What exactly is a cop going to do that the paramedics cant? They are trained to restrain people in medical situations also.

    You call for both, Paramedics are not trained to deal with aggressive people who are actively attacking others, they will call the police as well if none have came with them.
    And how idiotic are you as a mother...A BLACK MOTHER to go calling the police if you know your son is prone to act erratically?

    When the person may end up harming you or others if you don't.
    Calling a pig should not even be a last resort in that situation it should be no option at all. It's really foolish.

    And of course I dont want to let them off the hook morally because this is pure racism. The black male being an enemy on sight. But in some small way she killed her own son.

    Unfortunately, some people have no choice.

    I really think you're speaking from the point of view of someone who has never had to live in a home where you couldn't even go to sleep because your family member was going through an episode, and you're worried he might come in your room and stab you in your sleep.
