Any word on the dog?
Mental illness is such a sad thing.
200% crazy.
[ Police were at his home Thursday morning after being alerted to a suicidal email he had sent out, according to the Associated Press.
A pair of officers tried to talk to Clarke through an open doorway as a third officer retrieved a “less-than-lethal option,” a Mesa police spokesman said Friday, according to video uploaded by the Republic. Clarke came to the door with a large kitchen knife in hand, said the spokesman, who referred to Clarke as a woman. ]
Well, the moron got what it wished for!
You don’t threaten a cop with a knife when they have guns!
The only other question I have is this: “Who alerted the police about the suicidal e-mail?” Was it a friend that received the e-mail or is it some gubermint e-mail monitoring software?
"There is no situation so bad..."
Gotta be a movie here somewhere.
Yikes, that is a nasty headline.
Was the "transgender" a muzzie?
she wanted to be a dog ???
is that there a himim or a herim ???
or sumping...
My nephew is applying for a state job. I told him to claim he was a black, confused LGBT.
Police 1, Transexual 0
“Gender Dysphoria” = Mental Illness (not something natural or normal)
The FReeper brigade of “The cops can clean up anyone at any time for any reason” will come to this thread and get all turgid over this.
An obviously very disturbed person making threatening moves with a lethal weapon? Hard for me to get all tore up about this.
A woman with two kinds of crazy, probably 3. Sympathy for the dog.
Im so confused. Is it a man or woman?
I think that people who try to distance themselves from their gender are, in fact, desperately trying to get away from themselves. Gender is a central component of anyone’s identity. To a person who does not like who he or she is, pretending to be a person of the other gender is a way of trying to escape.
It is sad, but not surprising, that this woman who was so desperate to escape from being herself was, in fact, suicidal, and managed to commit suicide by cop.
This term is ambiguous. I pictured a man who wanted to be a woman and later read it was a female to male. This is an insane.
Not sure which is worse, the blood thirsty cops or the utter lack of sympathy and compassion by those on this thread.
I know an individual with severe Asperger’s syndrome. It’s a type of autism. The person’s brain doesn’t process information correctly. It’s a birth defect and not their fault. It’s not an emotional problem as much as it is physical problem with the brain.
They certainly didn’t deserve to be murdered in their own home.
Well at least the cops stopped the suicide. /sarc
She should have addressed the Asperger’s first. One thing at a time! Those service dogs are expensive too; not sure who provided one for her, but it looks like he was doing his job anyway.
Just saw a service dog a couple of weeks ago at a handball tournament. He was helping to care for a child with Down syndrome. Those dogs are incredible.
And society now punishes people who offer genuine help to these messed up people.
