Or, maybe people shouldn’t be belligerent and listen to the cops.
The more we coddle people the more they will push with their aggressive behavior.
Mental state IMHO can supersede police authority and you just don’t know as a policeman what the mental state of the individual you are dealing with might be. Thus if you run into the drug addled or mental issue controlled individual either of whom may not be capable of responding as a “normal” human being might, you are immediately forced into a possible deadly force scenario. That is to be avoided at all costs even to the possible sacrifice of your own life. That is the only way. Police have NO authority to be judge jury and executioner and in those rare instance where they have placed themselves too close to a potential deadly force incident, they need to back off.
