Another family learns that the Police aren't going to help with the Mentally Ill.

[H2O Man]

6. Tragic.

I did trainings for state, county, and municipal police in upstate NY, on dealing with crises in the community involving mentally ill people. Those types of trainings help, but do not totally eliminate the possibility of a gross over-reaction on the part of individual officers. In my job, I came to know a lot of good and decent police officers, and others who were unfit for the duties of their job. I saw people treated with dignity and respect, and in other cases, with brutality.
