The police in America

They shot an autistic teenager. It's ok to be killed by them, but it's illegal to find your own way of death. Life is just not fair and I don't want to be part in it. Life is a horror movie and we are the victims.

It's disgusting how autistic people are treated by police and we don't talk about it nearly enough.

The police in Australia aren't much better

A 95-year-old woman died after being tasered in a NSW aged care home. Was it manslaughter?

I mean I think more facts of the case need to come out but... From the article it's not clear that the police knew he was autistic or anything of the sort. They saw someone with a knife aggressively moving to them during after a call was made about a threatening person. If i saw someone aggressively move to me with a knife and I was in their shoes i can't say I would've reacted differently. Are we just saying hey police we want you to be sacrificial lambs you can't protect yourself. I feel like the US has gone full tribalism where if a story comes out and it contains an identity we belong to we instantly take their side. Why was that person unattended? Why was that person carrying a knife? Why so many things beyond just what the police officer did. This was wholly avoidable if the people around that person gave a shit. This isnt on the cops but the community if there was any around that person.

I don't think or will ever believe that the police can't handle a situation without hurting the person. They should be trained so if the person have a knife they needed to kill him as if he was Michael Myers or something? Common sense… he didn't need to be killed. They do that. This is not the first and it won't be. Last year they killed African American guy in new York that had intellectual disability. It was obvious so… anyway. What was the person doing unattended? Not every autistic needs to be attended.. this is America, people can have knives on them the same way they have guns.
