Somethings, we must accept. Yes, even when we call police officers to solve conflicts? Because obviously, it's the last solution for some. And maybe the first for others.
In dealing with mental illness situations and the judgment on officers. Maybe, we should turn it back on the parents, friends, and other relatives.
Sure, some reading this will be hurt, judgmental, or offended. But mom/dad/uncle/aunt/cousin has a weapon and officers arrived and in the process, they are killed.
Instantly, all types of opinions begin.
But wait! Yes, wait! This is your family member. Did you rush them to control the situation? Or stood by and cried about how you tried?
Did you grab a hose and spray them down? Remember, you called officers to respond to a conflict. And many of the times they human and must defend themselves from harm too.
So many of times you hear family complain. They didn't take their medication. Many of times they were acting strange.
