Are the #NYPD fully trained to deal with the Mentally ill?
The first thing that officers do is pull out their weapons instead of trying to reach that person on a mellow level, they agitate the situation by pulling out blackjacks and other demobilizing tactics to hurt the person instead of a more professional approach to try to defuse the situation..They did not call for an ambulance or some other avenue of help to try to help this brother, but instead cage him like an animal…The City of New York has numerous ways with dealing with the Mentally ill, and the NYPD should be a last resort, not the first resort…He was not violent to himself or other people, he was just having a episode that needed Intervention…Like I said, who likes the NYPD Anyway…He just did what I and a million other people would of loved doing and that’s walking all over a police cruiser….
