Poor Cop Training: Unable Recognize Medical Conditions & Emergencies

[Shadow Wolf]

Oddly, my interaction with police officers when they arrested me was extremely cordial. Granted, this was in Canada, but at no time did I fear for my safety. Heck, they didn't even make too much of a mess of my house. I do know that so-called police violence is a problem but I can't help but think that people themseleves are presenting more aggressively as more and more people adopt the "**** the police" mentality.

I accidentally jit submit before my favorite story. My ex's brother's (now ex) girlfriend is black and got pulled over one night by some cops who said some racist things to her. She was high on I forget what exactly but it enraged her and the initial cops who pulled her over and the entire first round enforcements all got beat up by her, with the second round taking a beating before taking her down. Her ticket still stuck, but the judge wasn't happy the cops were such bad physical condition this little girl who's maybe 120-130 beat them all up. Drugs or no, if they was in an ideal physical condition for the job that wouldn't have happened amd the judge knew it, lmao.

I've posted that solution as one of many before.
Does it not qualify?

I'd say it absolutely does.

Woman is in her home having a mental health crisis.
3 cops show up without a warrant.
They begin breaking into her home, despite here
denying them entry because of no warrant.
They shoot at her, & miss.
She stand in her home holding a hammer.
They shoot her dead.
2 of the 3 cops had been trouble before, but were
kept on the force. Now an innocent woman is dead.

A problem: If 911 is called about a mental health
issue, the cops arrive. There's no number to call
that will get proper help....just trigger happy cops.

All 'first responders' should be required to have some basic training regarding medical, mental, and criminal emergencies, so that they can distinguish the difference, and apply the appropriate response. Far too many police think that their job is law enforcement first and only. So they respond to every call as if it is a law enforcement matter, when very often is it not. And their inappropriate response results in making the situation far worse than it was or needed to be.
