The proverbial men in white coats with butterfly nets.
We’re heading into an enhanced storm (I won’t call it perfect storm) of tragedy. Demanding more and more freedom for wackier and wackier things and sending more and more callous agents to take care of trouble scenes involving same.
Well it's either that, or men in black coats with guns blazing.
Think about it - at literally someone's most desperate moment in their lives, when they have a weapon they are close to using on themselves and are almost out of their minds with mental and emotional imbalance, we send men with orders to unload their weapon's entire magazine (yes, that's the repeated practice) into anyone with a weapon who might be a threat or frighten them.
They're just execution squads for mental crisis situations, nothing else.
We can do better.
