    Choking someone to death for a full minute after they’ve gone limp isn’t as clear cut a situation as you’re making it sound and not an appropriate response to a mental health crisis.

      You familiar with how long it takes for the adrenaline of fight or flight to wear off. He probably had no concept of a minute… and since his body was still ampped up probably didn’t even realize the guy was limp. But focus on him anyway. That is what the people in power want. They don’t want you to look deeper and see how they failed the man who had the mental health issue. He shouldn’t have been there. He should have been receiving the care he needed in a safe environment. But shareholders have to see profits.

      When that mental health crisis threatens the lives of others and the cops are too lazy to do their jobs of course there will be a reaction like this.

      Its shouldnt be controversial to defend your neighbors.
