Cops talk down a person in a mental health crisis instead of shooting them.
Haha happens all the time IRL you just don't get to hear about it
Well, to be fair it happens in Canada, in the UK, even in China (in that in all three you get news stories of cops doing just that). But it seems to never happen in the USA (if we're to judge by reportage).
I agree theres horrifying cases. Given how many MH cases cops attend, it's impossible that they're all getting shot.
