Ever hear the saying, "if you have a problem and call the police, now you have two problems?"

Clearly this guy has mental issues and needed medical intervention. Instead, the cops, who are not trained to deescalate a situation like this, made it worse.

"Now the Queens District Attorney’s Office is seeking to pursue criminal charges against Chakraborty, who allegedly has schizophrenia. However, the family is protesting these charges, saying they had requested EMS to assist in the medical emergency. They claimed the officers only escalated the situation.

"Rather than de-escalate the situation, the officer instead further escalated by drawing his gun and yelling orders at Jabez," the family wrote. "Within a minute of NYPD’s arrival, Jabez was shot multiple times and almost killed, while he was calmly eating food just minutes earlier."

If any of you has had a family member with mental issues, you recognize what happened here immediately. The impulse to just throw the book at him is an unfortunate lack of understanding.

Thanks for your intelligent contribution.

This is wild, sad he had to be shot but he was clearly an imminent threat to the officers. Whether it is criminal prosecution or being forcibly institutionalized, violent people with mental health issues should not be free to terrorize people.

This is why Jordan Neely isn’t alive today…

Ah yes, so instead of working on providing the mental healthcare he needs, he goes to prison, does not receive any mental health treatment, and gets released in worse condition after serving his time. What could possibly go wrong?

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).

This is just a straw man argument.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
