Another day, another mental health crisis turns into a death sentence.

Every single day. This man was in his underwear acting irradically. Why. Why. Why????? Didn't someone do as they've been trained?

1. Give the person space;
2. Stay calm, don't escalate or agitate;
3. Have qualified mental health professionals ON STAFF.

These are allegedly "universally taught" in every academy and department in America.

Some way, WE'VE GOT TO STOP ATTACHING "Crisis Intervention Team" to the police. These two things are not compatible.

CITs that are operated by the State ARE NOT EQUIPPED to deal with mental health crisis. They send police.

And the police are deadly.
