      Sunita Fisher you are correct don’t let people abuse you. I was abused also I know what it’s like to lose all your self esteem and confidence. Bless you, I bet you throw ur self into any work to avoid having to deal with certain pains etc. I know because I did same, be carful because I did that when I got depression.

      ALL officers should be trained to recognize and handle mental illness. This kid looks a little "slow" and since he's big and black, he's a ripe target for untrained officers to just pull out their weapons at the slightest odd behavior and get violent immediately. They should be trained to recognize the signs of a mentally ill kid having a meltdown who needs to be comforted. It's VERY different than an angry violent kid going on a rampage. But if you haven't been trained, you think they are the same.

    This officer took the time to understand that this young man had a disability and knew how to de-escalate the situation. By simply getting to his eye level and speaking calmly was right. I have 2 members of my family that are severely autistic and ya hear so many horror stories about the mentally challenged and police interaction because a lot of times the cops don't know. This should ABSOLUTELY be part of standard training, how to calmly deal with those who are mentally challenged or have serious mood disorders. It can save lives and ultimately make those justifiably sketchy about police a little more trusting.

      I have worked with kids for years and a valuable part of my training was just squatting/sitting down so you are level with them. Just getting down to their eye level really helps, standing towering over them just frightens them, if you make calm eye contact it can really calm them down. I have stopped babies crying their eyes out just by looking calmly in their eyes so they know another human is aware of them. Shouting and ranting at them never helps it is a shame a lot more parents don't realise this. Being calm and quiet can rub off on the child but instead I see so many parents getting wound up and they just make things worse. Honestly there are so many ain't shiz parents out there it's really sad.

Most cops are good and honest and just go to work everyday and put their life on the line to help the public. It’s a lot like racism in a way.

      It's common sure, but asshole power tripping cops are common also. Once had a cop when I was 15 get in my face and ask if I wanted to go outside and fight if he took his gun and badge off. What did I do? I have no idea. I was sitting in a starbucks with friends and joking around with each other. Maybe he thought I was laughing at him idk? Another instance I had ran out of gas on my college campus and a cop took time out of his day to drive to a gas station to get me gas so I could leave. Another instance I had a cop pull me over on a bridge next to a lake with friends. Someone said we looked suspicious and reported us even though we were just walking. They wanted to search us and after dealing with a consented search during a speeding ticket my cousin got while I was a passenger I didn't want to wait 2 hours to deal with a bs search. I politely declined saying they didn't have probable cause and he threatened to charge me with trespassing since the lake I was on was private property despite the bridge I was walking across was a highway that was public. So he was willing to falsify charges to scare me. I called his bluff and he left. Another cop talked me down from a stupid suicide attempt I made as a teen and genuinely made me feel better.
      There are good cops sure, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the bad ones. It's common enough to be a problem. Anytime I exercised my rights as an American citizen such as the previously mentioned bs search cops have gotten aggressive to try and provoke a response that would lead to an arrest. Moral of the story? Keep your cool when dealing with cops because they won't all the time, but you can be charged for losing your cool while they won't.

      nopak most cops are like this dude. The biggest difference between a cop and a medical professional, is how dangerous their work is. An officer goes to work every day with the knowledge in the back of his mind that, while trying to keep people safe, he could be killed with no warning by some crackhead with a gun or propaganda infested jackass. And to be *hated* by the people you’re there to protect.
      Imagine the level of selflessness required to even *think* about doing that for a living.

      Yes, becauee Police don't have to chase down Society's scum on a daily, do they? I wonder how long it would take the average person walking the beat before they become jaded by the utter chaos this world really is behind the iPhone and Netflix world people live in. Personally, i have had little to do with the Police, i wonder why 🤔

    This police officer knew there was something not right he approached the young man sat down and talked to him, what a wonderful human being and a good police officer, his parents and family must be very proud, I wish him all the best for his future, may God bless and watch over him and his family always.
