The right way and the wrong way to deal with mentally ill suspects: A retired lieutenant analyzes the killing of a homeless man camping in the...
TND Article Spotlight: Lieutenant Harry Thomas for PoliceStateUSA.com
I recently watched the helmet-cam video of James Boyd’s death, and I’m absolutely sickened. Boyd was a mentally-ill homeless man caught up in a confrontation with police due to his camping in the hills outside Albuquerque without a permit.
After hours of arguing, Boyd warily agreed to pick up his bags and leave. He was paranoid that the police were going to double-cross him. As he took his first step away from his primitive campsite, officers lobbed a flashbang grenade at his feet, frightening him and provoking him to reach for a pocketknife.
After escalating the situation themselves, police used Boyd’s reaction as justification to open fire.
I’ve been sitting here thinking back on my LEO career and I came up with maybe a half-dozen situations where I could have used deadly force and gotten away with it.
But I didn’t do it. It wasn’t my job to GET AWAY with killing people. My job was to kill people only if it was absolutely necessary.
