>And sure, I could be wrong. But I could also be right, and have been many times before about shit like this. It’s incredibly sad either way, but if this ends up being a child who desperately needed help but “fell through the cracks” and is dead today because nobody intervened until a shot was fired— it’s one more name on a long list of names failed by this state’s abysmal mental health resources and services

What are they doing then in the training? I see the police academy in Concord and they all march like 1 to have a lunch every single day. If they are not practicing pulling their weapons and how to make a difference between them then training is insufficient or police officer didn't meet the criteria to become one. Lastly - they might not have enough repetitive training. If a person was trained 5-10 years ago and if in those 5-10 years police officer never had to pull out a weapon then there has to be some sort of yearly and mandatory training.

This is very, very sad.
