Fatal shooting of autistic teen raises concerns about police response to people with mental health issues
View attachment 640x360_MP4_2801942274738336616.mp4Get the fuck back. No? Eat my bullets, nigger!An autistic boy was shot dead by police in California after he ran towards them with a bladed gardening tool, according to officials.
Harrowing bodycam footage shows the moment Ryan Gainer, 15, runs out of his Apple Valley in San Bernardino county on Saturday and towards the deputies.
A deputy is heard saying, 'Hey get back! Get back or you're gonna get shot,' before opening fire.
Seriously? How many would break down the front door and attack fambly members with glass shards?The 15-year-old became upset that his parents had demanded he complete his household chores before he would be allowed to play video games [and] responded by breaking glass on the front door and hitting his sister.
“He got upset. Any teen would be upset by that,” DeWitt Lacy, a civil rights attorney representing Ryan’s family, said.
Bring it on, chimp.Gainer charged at the officers with a five-foot-long gardening tool as soon as they arrived. 'Without provocation, Gainer raised the bladed end of the tool and ran toward the deputy,' the release stated.
Nah, just a little assault with a 5-foot deadly weapon! Because he was "aksed" to do household chores. Textbook TNB now called autism whenever niglets chimp out.Ryan’s death has heightened concerns from activists about law enforcement’s use of force against people suffering from mental health issues and the lack of supportive services available for families when they call police for help.
“Once they typed up the address, it should have clearly shown this was somebody that had some mental health issues at times,” Lacy said. “They should have used deescalating techniques. I think the shots were inappropriate and uncalled for. Nobody’s life was within imminent danger.”
I don't see them having a case here, but it looks like they're going for the lotto regardless.
