A Texas family says they called the police asking for a mental health resource officer to visit the home, but their attorney says an officer who is not “capable of dealing with a mental health crisis†was sent. The Killeen police chief promised a thorough investigation and the officer involved is now on administrative leave.

Texas Police Officer Fatally Shoots Unarmed Black Man In His Yard | NBC Nightly News
They know police cant handle mental health people every police come for that type of call the person gets killed and its there family fault for keep calling the police
good job
That fool went after that cop !
We hear this same cut and paste statement from police officials over and over again… The same BS, as they proceed to enact a cover up
Only saw a small portion of video..report all or nothing. If family could do better they should have. No time for mentally defective people in this scary world unfortunately.
Protest at the officers home, gym, church, city hall, police station, Mayors office & home, Police Chiefs office & home, city council, Governors home & office. IF IT DOESN’T BEND.. BREAK IT.
Stop killing people for no reason.
This is why cops die first in prison
He was disobeying the cop and coming towards him. He shouldnt have killed him, should have just pepper sprayed him or something
Stop resisting arrest!!!!!!
Best solution, Have no cops at all, get rid of police force and replace them with military soldiers patrolling our neighbourhoods.
If your loved one is crazy, bring them to a mental health facility!
Most cops are bad MCAB and will shoot you if given the chance
He attacked the Officer and was justifiably killed. The family had many chances to address his mental health before this happened.
Next time I hear the perp was “unarmed†he better not have any arms when I see the video. OK, seriously is the neighborhood safer -1?
A Mexican! When are is, black people going to learn they are not our friends, either!!!!!
Ayo jor floi ma homie yo
What do you expect in Texas?
I hated American police almost American police officers are cruels killing innocent people
저기 미êµÂÂì¸ì€ ìžÂÂì‹ ìÂÂËœ 죄대로 대대ì†ÂÂ솠죄를 받고ìžÂÂ멸ՠ것ì´다.
Stop calling the police black people deal with it yourself and get a legal gun every black person should have one.
The way the media and the people have acted as of late why would you expect anything less than what happened you got black people running around assaulting police officers randomly and then another black man attempt to assault an officer and gets shot if you see any other race would get a different treatment you are sadly mistaken anybody resisting arrest will meet the same outcome as they say do stupid s*** you get stupid prizes
Option 1: Send a resource officer…..Option 2: Don’t shoot an unarmed man multiple times…🤷ðŸÂ¾â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ.
Austim live matter
Riddle me this NBC! I am loud and obnoxious. I like music that rhymes. Despite being only a fraction of the population, I commit HALF the crimes! Who am I?
Stop calling the police for every crisis you have in your home. Try pastors or EMTs.
Another act of genocide, perpetrated by SS officers of the American Gestapo. Shades of Nazi Germany and the Third Reich.
