Perhaps I should tell you the story of the male nurse I worked with...a big,burly,strong guy...who was almost beaten to death by one of the hundreds of schizophrenics I referred to above.They can turn on a dime.Cops know it.Staff members of hospital ERs know it...but you don't.And that's understandable because you've never seen it.

You sir are very wrong. I used to manage a Jail and before that a mental hospital. These people can be managed, safely with proper procedures. Not once in 25 years did an employee have so much as a bloody lip. There is NEVER an excuse for shooting a mental patient in the back especially if he is more than 15 feet away from you. In this film the perp was at least 30 feet away, that leaves plenty of time to shoot if there is an attack. It isn't like they were in a hury, they had been there for 4 hours and the guy hadden't attacked anyone, someone got trigger happy, I hope they pay for it for a long time.
In this particular event the perp should have been tazed and bean bagged into submission on the ground there is simply NO excuse for what happened. It was obvious to me the perp didn't want to hurt anyone he just wanted to be left alone. I know he couldn't be left alone but capital punishment was not warranted.
These people have mental problems, they are still humans.
