Having a mental health crisis does not absolve you of the responsibility to not be a danger to other people.

Nobody else was in danger. He was in his apartment, he locked himself in a bathroom, he was hallucinating. This entire episode was escalated by police.

Najee called the police himself and told them he wanted to have a shootout with them when they arrived.

I'm aware. Again, hallucinating. Maybe, just maybe, I'm kind of spitballing here - what if you had someone who is trained in mental health crises advising the cops on what do do and react in these situations? Instead of just "shoot center mass". I wonder what kind of outcomes we'd have.
