Singletary and the mayor both stated they received intelligence that “outside agitators” to participate in the protests.

“We have arrested people providing addresses from Alaska to Massachusetts and other parts of the country,” Singletary said.

Here’s the deal. When you call cops about your mentally ill son, brother, father etc. it is because you feel frightened by their being out of control. You don’t want the cops riding in and killing them, you want someone to take him to the hospital and check him in.

Instead, the cops either tell you he is not a threat or sometimes something awful like this happens. We, the caretakers of society, stuck on our own with our mentally ill sons, brothers, fathers with little or no help from society or government need some practical treatment options for coping with the mentally ill. It is ridiculous that you have to wait until your mentally ill son, brother, father is ready to commit either suicide or murder before you can get some outside interest in your problem.

This poor dude was mentally ill. Cops only know how to handle criminals. Jails are being used to cope with mentally ill. That is a crime in itself. The criminal justice system is no better at dealing with the mentally ill than are we hapless caregivers.
