Police release video of 13yo kid with autism shot by cops


Sep 22, 2020, 12:42 AM

Utah kid was having a mental health episode and ran away from cops. Cops chased him down. Caught him, gave him 8 seconds to respond when cops told him to get on the ground, then shot at him a dozen times.

Unreal that a better response wasn't possible. Need to act more like guardians and less like warriors.

PRECISELY what is wrong with certain current policing...

Shoot first...10 times... then "Show me your hands!" That is a case of 2nd degree murder. 13 years old.

Can some things be done a little better? Most likely, but you should really go on a ride along before bashing them. Many of you have no clue what it is like in their position.

What's the other option? Full-time babysitter?

In the video, she said she spent a full year's salary on treatment for him last month.

I think we're all in agreement this is absurd and excessive. But also shame on the mother for calling in the cops to deal with the problem.

Which also highlights an issue with police: Society is repeatedly demanding they handle situations they aren't trained to handle. Like calming down special needs patients.
