The police defended the assault, yet arrests and murder other people for less: the US is a fucking joke
Some people really shouldn’t be cops..
Oops I mean it’s more respectful for the police or anyone for that matter to put the person first if they have a disorder or disability because they are people too so it’s good thing they are showing them how to do this the right away
I mean nice
I like that tittle was with like a person with a mental disorder instead of a mentally illness person because you have to remember to be nice and put the person first some don’t mind but me having a mild mental disability I find it more police to say the person first instead of there disability or disorder or whatever illness it is because they are people too
I don’t know why this was recommended anyway it’s very good I know it’s hard to understand but this is good technique because remember people with mental health problems some of them don’t always understand maybe what they are doing or saying
Get a 6dof headset you idiots
Funny how the cops need to be trained and taught to feel emotions. They are rotten criminal psychos. Fuck em. Just run and preserve your life
I think that all states need to participate in training simulator to help people with disabilities and also to train police officers in every city departments
The fact that this is necessary shows how badly trained american police is
Why were there only women wearing the headsets?
How about they play the PS4 game Detroit instead, or at least get involved with the programmer?
No hard feelings yet they sue right after?
Wait…SO you're telling me that treating someone like a human being gets a better response than screaming at them and tackling them!?
why dont we stop policeing society instead focus on getting people into college and making educuation and healthcare free so people are less likely to be mentally ill. also, if we have rights why are we pulled over and PUNISHED like children for speeding when everyone speeds. Why are cars still the number one killer but nobody arrests the car manufacturerers Questions yeah questions i have questions why am i being experimented on
This is absolutely amazing!!!! O I hope and pray it gets rolled out. I have experienced acute paranoid schizophrenia. I know what it's like to have hallucinations and hear voices that aren't actually in reality. If this can save both the law enforcement officers lives and those that are suffering from mental illness then I am all for it!!!!!
Yes, it is a good idea, but there are cases where officers may have no choice but to use force.
So they shook the white kids hand and killed the black kid ?
Cops don’t need guns.
If he were black, that string would have been an imaginary gun and he would have been dead. Plus the cop would have feared for his life.
The cops need to get checked mentaly
Horrible decision the cop did
Incident? Murder an innocent man.
The Real Issue With the Police Is The Cops Always make The Situation Worse
Most abused people ever, the mentally ill and those developmentally delayed. Sad! More is needed than just this training.
Stop the bullshitt wasting money, these nazis know what they doing…
Thts stupid if tht person is fcking insane or has mental issues they SHOULD NOT HAVE THEM OUT WONDERING BY THEMSELVES SIMPLES!!
They also do/ have worst case scenarios too. So helps with pressure on actual duty.
