This incident is definitely alarming especially because it took place in a progressive neighborhood like Cambridge. A man in distress who was agitated got even more triggered when cops showed up. Why are cops viewed antagonistically? Is it not important for anyone to feel relieved about seeing a cop? I can't help but wonder how the situation would have changed if instead of cops EMT had showed up in response to the 911 call.

It is really not acceptable to say that the cops could not defuse the situation without killing a 20 year old man in distress.

Justice for Sayed is not punishing the officer but a serious overhaul of high emergency situation protocols and trainings.
