This is not stating 1 out of 5 mentally ill people get shot You don’t even know what you just said. My gosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braves121 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 21 minutes ago, mspart said: OK, but that was not the question. How many mentally ill people are handled by police and are not shot. Your assertion was that a person with mental illness usually gets shot by police. Rather than show this irrelevant statistic, prove your assertion. Assertion: when police get involved in mental issues the person suffering from the mental illness usually gets killed by the police. Go! mspart https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-some-encounters-between-police-and-people-with-mental-illness-can-turn-tragic The 21st Century Cures Act, passed by Congress with bipartisan votes in 2016, requires the Department of Justice to collect and publish data on how often federal, state and local officers use force, how many times that force ends up being fatal and how often the deceased had a mental illness. But the law doesn’t require police departments to tell the DOJ how many people their officers killed There is no data for how many mentally ill people do not get shot by police, the law only states that they have to disclose how many deceased had a mental illness, not encountered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul158 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 22 minutes ago, JimmyBT said: So where’s the number for ALL shootings involving mentally Ill people like you were originally talking about??????? Exactly. Like backing up with facts what you actually stated. It would be nice to have a little more information. Does the individual have a weapon? Has the individual already used the weapon and shot someone? Has he shot at the police? Has he already killed someone or is he threatening to kill someone? Does the individual have a history of violently uses a gun? Is there any data that answers these questions. But like I said earlier by the time someone with mental illness is an adult and has a gun ( that he shouldn't have ) and the police have to interact its way to late. It does not end well.

I mean not really they do not have to report if they shot a mentally ill person. they do have to report if a person they killed had a mental illness.

How is that what the data is saying? I'm just messing with you. Did you see my previous post wanting more data about the actual encounter with the police. Whether he has a gun or is he actively shooting or has he already shot someone. Are there hostages involved. Sometimes the individual has mixed alcohol with their medication. It will not end well.

Well….. sorry YOU can You can not ever have a conversation in good faith. You twist and turn words and make up your own ideas of what someone is saying. Where did I say cops only deal with mental illness situation when there is a shooting? You asked for stats on police encountering mentally ill people and I stated that there are no laws saying cops have to disclose how many mentally ill people they encounter. There is a law saying that the police have to disclose how many people that they kill with a mental illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Teachers bring up mental health parents scream indoctrination. When parents are supposed to talk about it you then have instances such as Crumbleys mom actively helping her son with planning and commiting a school shooting. You see police and other agencies defy gun control laws. What do we do from here? This was YOUR original comment. Read the first sentence YOU wrote.

How can you prove that when there is no data showing how many mentally ill people are encountered by police? Can I have some cold hard facts not feelings? using your own argument here. You got mad at me for providing actual stories and stats saying mentally ill people are more likely to be shot yet you can not provide data or sources saying that mentally ill people usually don't get shot by police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
