How did the State prevent the suicide? HOMOCIDE, of course!
To the untrained eye, the video in this article may APPEAR to show a cowardly, costumed clown engaging a single-minded response effort that is hinged almost exclusively upon the use of coercion and brutality as a means rapidly ending crisis solely in the interest of self-preservation, enabling him to justify his decision to quickly escalate a situation involving an innocent man in medical distress, and in danger of self-harm, into a cause for repeated, violent assaults, then execution-style murder, in less than ten minutes time, flat…
However, those who are actually enlightened enough to understand the complex and intricate workings of the State FAITHFULLY embrace both its necessity and it’s absolute functionality, allowing them to clearly see the video recording as the story of an honorable public servant, courageously risking his own safety in a heroic attempt to peacefully de-escalate a very highly dangerous situation by any means necessary – and, using lethal force only as a last resort, upon tirelessly exhausting all other options, first!
Morgan S.: how many shots does it take. Christ not accountable for more then two shots fired? the first shot was a fatal sound. just has me scratching my head about how many is to many.
Rayn: How many untrained goons with guns does it take to escalate a suicide crisis into a violent-to-lethal confrontation, through forcible injection into harm’s way, then termination of the very life they were there to “save”?
Why were these lizards pushing for entry into that bathroom, rather than following crisis intervention protocols, which would dictate that mediation, negotiation and arbitration be considered as the first-hand options?
I saw no compassion – only threats of force…
Seems to me like they unjustifiably force-framed the man as a danger to others, rather than just himself (through profiling? Ableism, perhaps?), which gave them an imagined justification to take the sort of coercive, brutal and over-zealous-for-immediate-absolute-compliance course of action that would easily cause even a defensive reaction in any rational Individual – let alone a schizophrenic man locked behind his bathroom door, and threatening suicide with a knife!

Homeless Grandmother Arrested 59 Times for Sitting on Sidewalk:

(Tana Ganeva, AlterNet) Here’s an interesting use of public resources: as part of a decade-long effort to “clean up” Skid Row in Los Angeles (i.e. run the homeless out of the area to ease development), the city of LA has spent at least a quarter of a million dollars arresting, prosecuting and jailing just one homeless woman, 59-year-old Ann Moody, mostly for sitting on a public sidewalk.
Moody has been arrested 59 times in six years, reports the Los Angeles Times. She’s spent 15 months in jail since 2002. As the article points out, Moody has been arrested more than any other person in the entire city of Los Angeles.
The 59-year-old grandmother earned that distinction by flouting part of the municipal code that restricts sleeping, lying or sitting on a public sidewalk between 9pm and 6am, although she’s also been bagged for selling cigarettes. She explained her bad behavior to the Times: “We’re human beings, not to be pushed around like cattle,” she said. “We have a right to be stationary.”
