I feel like trying to give a certain group special treatment would only lead to more problems down the line. A regular person who rushes at an officer with a knife would get shot. Why should a mentally ill person be given a special pass? The exact opposite applies too. If the person who had been playing with a toy truck wasn't autistic, would that make things any different? For what it's worth, the counselor who was shot was not autistic. People balk when rich and famous are given special treatment, why should mentally ill be held to a different standard? Everyone should be given equal treatment. This means better training all across the board. Especially for idiotic trigger happy policemen.

Baltimore prosecutors drop all remaining charges in Freddie Gray case Prosecutors on Wednesday dropped all charges against the three officers awaiting trial in the Freddie Gray case, effectively closing the books on the high-profile case and leaving the state without a conviction in the 25-year-old’s arrest and death, which sparked protests and riots in the city last year. The move came in a hearing that was supposed to mark the beginning of the trial against Officer Garrett Miller, the fifth officer to be tried in the case. Prosecutor Michael Schatzow told Judge Barry G. Williams that the state would dismiss all charges against Miller, as well as Sgt. Alicia White and Officer William Porter, who were set for trial in the coming months. Prosecutors charged six officers in Gray’s arrest and death. Three were recently acquitted on all charges following bench trials. Porter’s case in December ended in a hung jury. ..... The top prosecutor, who has previously been under a gag order, also was critical of the police. She made accusations of abnormalities in the investigation of Gray’s death, saying there were individual officers who were witnesses and also were part of the investigation. She said lead detectives were “uncooperative” and that search warrants were not executed. Mosby also said officers created videos to “disprove the state’s case.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...0e2d_story.html Stay safe Baltimore.

If it's a factor that the person has no reasonable control over, you don't handle the situation the same as your average person.

Fargo Fukes posted:I was hearing the other day about the U.S. military, about how they overhauled their training programs after discovering that most soldiers don't actually shoot to kill in combat situations. The average person, even when given weapons training, will avoid aiming to kill the enemy and will generally just fire to make noise and suppress because killing someone who isn't about to kill you is actually really loving hard. So the American military (along with most other first-world militaries, I imagine) overhauled their combat training to include a whole bunch of Skinnerian conditioning - training their soldiers to shoot to kill as an automatic, physical response, to fight back before their higher brain functions have time to wonder if they should really be killing people. As a result modern U.S. infantry are pretty loving terrifying. regular cops are usually people the army rejected, combat veterans join swat also swat teams love murdering veterans. it's an odd dynamic
