From my friend Sandra Nardoni @parentingaftertrauma quote from The Great Behavior Breakdown by Bryan Post https://postinstitute.com/pro/the-great-behavior-breakdown/
As a mental health professional, I am so heartbroken that police would use lethal force on a bipolar person in crisis. This is why we can not call the police f...or mental health issues. They cannot help mentally ill people get the help they need. The burden falls on the community to handle mental health issues. This is why there needs to be new protocols for mental health and community crisis response teams. The police do not need to deal with the mentally ill. They can’t distinguish mental health issues apparently even when told. Police should only be called if a crime is being committed. I agree Walter Wallace was a threat to himself and others and needed to be held on a 48 hour hold at a psychiatric facility to determine treatment. I could have handled the situation better. Any mental health professional could have. But if we aren’t going to provide adequate community resources, than the police need to develop their own crisis support team to de-escalate situations that include a mental health professional who advises police so more people are not shot and killed.
