There was a guy here a few days ago that gave them a run for their money, it didn't end well for him but not for a lack of trying. They must have had three, four different police agencies there, on a domestic call of a man with a knife. They had the house surrounded, streets blocked off for blocks after he exited the house a couple times and threw molotov cocktails at the cops, then in the video you can see him running across the street with people yelling there he is, there he goes, how he got out of the house without them noticing is beyond me. He goes on to try hijack a car, stab a police dog, try break into someone's house before coming at the cops with a knife and they opened fire on him. A couple days later they posted up his picture and name, I was rather surprised. Seen him a couple different times hanging among the homeless community, always a happy looking fellow though you could see he probably was dealing with some mental issues, or maturity type issues for his age. I felt really bad for his mother when she said if I knew they would end up killing him, I'd never called them. We've had a few officer involved shootings the last few months, some touch you more than others when they involve people in a mental struggle. Another one a few months back involved a guy who couldn't get over the death of his son, he just wanted to die to be with him I guess so he chose basically suicide by cop. The guy who stabbed a bunch of people in a Walmart up north of here was found competent to stand trail the other day. I didn't read it, he had a long history of mental illness, he shouldn't ever be released or given a chance to be released again into society, that would be my guess they decided he was competent, sometimes when all you have is incarceration to protect people, not so much either because his mother claimed mental health agencies failed him, because you can't fail people who don't show up, or a parent who doesn't try to get a judge to order their medications intravenously be given, but then again, you get back to the "if they don't show up" issue. Society is on a real edge when it comes to the mentally ill homeless population, it's depressing to watch some of these stories unfold.
