Btw... Police procedure is overwritten by American Law. We do have a "federal" mental health law in this Country and we do have procedures on dealing with 'knowing or thought to be' people with mental issues, in damn near every State.
To prevent danger to the individual or society... the police have an obligation, to subdue the person.
Now.. I will break out the big guns: 1996 I was diagnosed with a personality disorder. While on duty, with a gun, I lost it and became violent... if the police didn't follow procedure, I would be dead today.
So you can stick all your stupid ass comments, thinking you know theories, bullshit that you heard second hand that nobody really ever told you, that you had to look up to try and apply it to the wrong situation - again, stick it up your ass.
