You need to have a chat with your editors. First we saw the end of the standoff played early, out of order, then when we actually got to the takedown the exact same footage from before was played again, twice in a row.
I had a friend whose adult son was schizophrenic. She called all the authorities available to try to get help. Then when he ended up killing an innocent man walking his dog, the public blamed her for not helping her son. We really need a system to help these families.
i totally agree, it's always blame the mom first it seems before ever even finding out what the suspects issues really are first. As a mom its offensive. As a rational person i do see where people and so many examples of bad parenting gives this impression to most persons. It's a difficult issue and will always be blended with harsh realities that there are the good and bad in all situations and there are rational and irrational persons who launch opinions on the matter.
I'm so sorry! I lost a friend do to schizophrenia I noticed the switch in 8th grade we were on the bus and she said, "I wonder what it would be like to jump off a tall building." We stopped being friends and she turned to alcohol in 8th grade. We ended up losing touch but found each other again and she told me she has schizophrenia. I knew when she was herself vs the schizophrenia talking and it made me sad. I had to cut things off with her though after she thought I did something to her when I didn't we were barely talking then. She was doing harder drugs to after I lost touch with her. I hope she is okay cause she has a daughter. Just makes me sad. I feel bad for that mother. Yeah their needs to be a system to help these families cause it would be cool to get these people back I didn't get my best friend from 7th grade back and it really makes me sad cause after watching this I really miss her a lot but I don't know if I will ever get her back.
In what way? Where I live if you say something even KIND OF threatening to someone else or about yourself the cops come and take you against your will to the mental ward of the hospital where they then COMMIT you to a mental mental hospital until they feel you’re safe enough to leave. I got taken for simply saying “I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE” when I was sick.. and I was there with people with schizophrenia etc who’d been there for MONTHS
Police called 45 times on this guy, really!!! Ridiculous!!!!!
METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH!!
This is what happens when you shut down multiple state psychiatric hospitals.
Why did they shut those hospitals down?
@@revekat2053 they needed the funds to buy the city council and the mayor a new golf course and a new McClaren convertible.
@@revekat2053 Kuz leftism. They need the money to give away to addicts, baby machines, and foreign invaders.
@@secretsauce4530 yup god bless america
That’s not true. There’s enough help out there, and enough clinics. It’s just that these people don’t want the help. They’re even given medicines, but they choose not to take them, and this is the outcome. Instead of meds to cure them, they choose illegal drugs, and then commit crimes for those drugs.
I feel sad for the mom, imagine having to see your son crack but also your house gets destroyed
She told police when you take him this time- keep him. She probably will just be happy if he doesn't come back for a long time. LE were called to the house 45 times before this. A victims fund might pay for some of it.
she knew how bad he was and still allowed him around
She lets him keep living there. Her enabling him created this psycho.
@@danielrn133 Only to dump him on society now
@@danielrn133no. She didn't create this
That guy's mom has clearly been through a lot. Poor lady. She did her best to explain.

That's what I was thinking. That house got destroyed for no reason...
@@funcorner328classic American police.
@@funcorner328no reason? So the evidence that was provided is AI??
@@Th3L0wK1always hating on a country who u rely on yeah really cool dude
@@Jack-os2yw no way to open the door without ripping half the front of the house off? Or breaking out the window on the 2nd floor?
Someone,somebody needs to pay for the damage of that poor lady's house
This is ridiculous and pathetic. You have to completely destroy a house to get one person out? There is no other recourse?
Sad when he said im just going to kill myself to get these voices out my head . He switched back and fourth from aggressive saying irrantional things making threats to suddenly sounding more calm and aware of his behavior . How scary that must be to hear voices in your mind telling you to do bad things
45 times police called to his house! When does something kick in to get this man some mental help?
What help do you suppose exists? It's a catch-and-release system.
I agree, mom should have gotten him help sooner.
Never should of been outside of a mental institution
@@grizzly6604it clearly shows that she tried to get him some help. Imagine the terror and trauma she has had to go through because her son needed mental health. This is not the mother’s fault and everyone that tires to blame her should be ashamed!
We should not have defunded or closed so many. They are necessary. Medication can't cure everyone, but prison isn't the answer for every problem either. We need mental health facilities well funded and opened. @@Wildcat221
Now did they really need to destroy her house ? What is the elderly mother going to do now ? Wow
Right??? Are you kidding me with smashing the garage door to BITS???
How about you just OPEN IT ffs!!!??!!
Don’t know, but at least the officers went home with their life still in tact
@@kassy.james.kassssabsofuckinglutely, as frustrating as it is for those sat at home in comfort watching and knowing the result, those dealing with this no nothing and the threat is very real.
@@michaelm5741 I agree the son was the threat who could have killed his mother the cop innocent people or himself. And to me the lives of the innocent are more valuable than any house or car. I hope she gets help. But there are priorities and when it comes to people's life everything else takes a back seat.
Steve Aoki sure knows how to throw an afterparty
She saying the hospital won’t take him. That’s sad 😢
I’m wondering why? He clearly needs help, badly.
@@Wildcat221 he's probably non compliant with his meds and acts up.
@@Wildcat221 I don't know how it is at hospitals but working at a nursing home in a very rural community of only 800 people. We turn away some people that have huge mental conditions like this because we don't have the capabilities to handle it. We are 40 minutes away from a hopsital if there is an emergency. There are machines and procedures that need to be used for some conditions and we don't have access or the funding to afford equipment like that. There are just so many factors.
My dad had a really huge mental health crises in his last few years to the point where he thought he was elvis, then jesus, then god. We got really fortunate that he wasn't violent or agressive just really... confused... For lack of better words. Had to go to a special place that wasn't a normal hospital like 2 hours away from home. Nobody in any town in almost a 70 mile radius would accept him. I don't know where this was at but i'd chalk it up to hospital in the area wasn't qualified, or equipped, or staffed for it.
Thanks~ you explained that really well & it offers some insight as to what may have occurred with this man.
I’m so sorry about your dad. 😔 I hope your final years with him held some good memories & times. It sounds as though he had a very supportive family.
There needs to be broader help for mental health in the US on every level, it seems. I’m not from there but have noted differences in mental health care over the years.
It's North Carolina.
I'm only surprised the hospital didn't recommend an exorcism.
Dog is like What The F¥€< happened to the garage?
Mental illness is awful for everyone involved 😞
They so wrong for messing that woman house up
The “ahhh man” after the officer said “your mom needs you” hits hard
What a mess the house is, who will pay to repair that?
I'm curious about that too!
Don’t know, but at least the officers went home with their life still in tact
They should have played into it and said Mr President, we need you to come outside to sign some important paperwork.
na, generally the rule is not to play into delusions, while also not blatantly refusing them. Don't dismiss them but if you reinforce them it only further solidifies the delusion and does not help.
@@privateryan2125 Makes sense, I also see where commenter was coming from at first. Thanks for the info tho
This wouldn't have helped at all, this isn't how you deal with a person going through something like this whilst they're outright delusional.
That was my thought as well, they could have used some ruse to get him outside surely...
@@privateryan2125 except suddenly if they think they're another gender then by law you have to play into their delusions. such sad state society is in, I agree we need way way more pre-emptive mental health care.
All im going to say is.... We NEED better Mental Health care in America including Mental Health institutions
Feel bad for his mom. No elder should have to go through that.
I agree. Very sad 😢
Its a decision a mom makes in commitment to her love for her son's well-being. You know it won't be easy when you make your commitment
I dont.
@@barrybb5409who asked?
Yep now the police destroyed her house what a shame
Dude, your MOTHER lost her house, not you.
Late last year there was a 33 hour stand off with one of my neighbors. Similar thing. He was in psychosis but had an arsenal of guns at hand and was using them. No one was hurt or worse but it was scary for all of us. He ended up torching the entire house that he was staying at.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. That poor mother 🥲
That’s not multiple personalities that’s schizophrenia. Big difference.
No, not inevitably, it's possible that there are one or more of his personalities who are also suffering from schizophrenia.
45 police calls and he still has possession of a gun?? no red flag laws?? why hasn't he been 5150'd??
Imagine how long this guy has been in this state? Poor moms must have suffered for decades dealing with this.
Why didn't she get him help?
Because there’s not enough placement for treatment and jail can’t Government needs open more treatment placement
@@grizzly6604 I think she tried to. When they first started talking to her, she was saying something about downtown and that they wouldn't take him.
they dont really have many places to help people like that. it's scary@@jenniferorem5268
I hear crickets
And the system just keeps allowing these folks to walk around. Cops have been the 45 time? The system is broken.
turns out we just cant afford it, so in turn they walk amongst us.
@@OhioPalmTreesit’s actually more expensive. We need preventative care. The housing, court cases, medical care once in custody, it adds up to a lot. Majority of mentally ill will not get this bad, if they are treated early. In turn saving tax payers a lot of money.
@@randymarsh8974The difficult part is trying to get an adult to take their medication regularly. If that doesn't happen it's a vicious circle for family LE & medical providers.
@@tarnsand440 Laws need to change far to many coddled criminals now days
@@randymarsh8974 It would also save tax payers money not trying deescalate people when they have become like the guy in the vid, Worry more about protecting law abiding citizens
They absolutely destroyed her house! 😢
This Mother was obviously scared of her son and unsure of what he would do even to her, This family knew he needed help .These officers had to deal with threats loaded ammunition and controlled themselves that many hours to try and help a very dangerous mental person. Great job . Now family please make sure he is put in treatment and gets help . Again so many lives at risk here even his on Mother's life . The house oh well , at least no lives were taking.
Why don't you help him yourself stop voting democrat expecting them to do it for you
Schizophrenia is such a horrible mental illness. My cousin struggled with his for years and we all had to pitch in to help him. The voices got so overwhelming for him and it was so hard to witness. Unfortunately, he couldn't handle it anymore and took his own life in the Summer of 1995...😢. It's still very painful.😢 I praise God that this man's situation came out positive. I wish there was more help for schizophrenic sufferers. .
Most schizophrenic people aren’t violent but if they become violent it’s very terrifying because if the delusions. I don’t know how he got weapons!!
They just destroyed that house for no reason.
America is such a strange place
😊😊
Yeah, but it's still the greatest country on Earth! ❤❤
@@The.chronic.connoisseurSo long as you don't live there! It's too scary !😲
@@The.chronic.connoisseurI’m assuming you live in the highlands of Louisville Ky. Area code is 502 and you like the Bengals?
@@The.chronic.connoisseur It's not even the greatest country in North America.
That officer talking on the phone with the hecking pen clicking was driving me nuts. If I was having a mental health crisis and heard that the entire call, I would lose it 😭
His poor mom!!😢😢 They know she’ll never be able to repair her home. This is heartbreaking!!
She should have got him help
That's sad. Crazy people don't need access to guns
Man they just destroyed that house. What the hells the point of that. Eventually he has to come out. Theyve done 10's of thousands of dollars in damage and just walk away from it. Not to mention you know insurance isnt covering that. Jesus poor lady
This is actually really scary. I would be afraid to live next door. Man his mom must be out of her mind in fear. Cause he is scary
His mom looks, and reminds me of my grandmother. I feel so bad for her.
I don't see why the state wouldn't have to pay for all the damages done to the house. They destroyed that house. The city should have to pay to repair it.
Because the liability falls on the person who caused the situation not on the Police who were simply responding to and neutralizing a threat to the community.
Police did it, police pays for it
Nope unfortunately it's going to fall on the homeowners insurance and who knows if she's been paying the premiums since her husband died she's going to wind up 50 to 75 k and even with insurance her deductibles are probably going to be 5 to 10 grand and probably cap @ 20 to 30,000 of damage so she screwed!
@@Ruintheus not the way it works. he could have not been associated with the house and run in there to escape and barricaded himself and you'd still have a hard time getting them to pay for it.
Who pays for the damage to the house?!
And how long before they let him out again to the care of his mother and let him decide when and if he wants to take his medication? A week? Two weeks?? This is the problem. While individual rights are no doubt important. You cant let someones individual rights trump the life, liberty and persuit of happiness of an entire neighborhood, town, State or country go by the wayside! Over 40 encounters with the police is beyond ridiculous. How long must normal, decent society suffer until mandatory commitment to a mental institution takes place? And im talking years of commitment not weeks or months! If someone refuses to take medications which allow them to function in civilized society then the only option is commitment and forced medication. Period.
I agree with you.
"How long must normal, decent society suffer"
I was with you up until this.
You think this guy and his mother WANT this?
Nothing is going to change until Americans start learning what EMPATHY is.
You could have a mental breakdown tomorrow, this could literally be you. You're too ignorant to understand it, but it's true.
@@ct5625but the commenter wasn’t talking about a sudden mental breakdown. Please read the post carefully.
The poster is referring to the fact that this has been going on for a prolonged time. The police had been called out 40+ times to his house because of him.
This has nothing to do with empathy at this point; this is about protecting people who must come in contact with him. This is about him not staying on his meds. This is about the safety of his neighbors from getting shot by him, and how much longer they are expected to live in fear of going outside in their own yards.
I’d like to see how far your empathy stretches after living for months with an unstable, non compliant mental case. My empathy ends where my life becomes endangered.
They've dealt with him 45 times before, and didn't know to bring a translator for his mother?
Or.. why has the mother not learned English after 45 times of getting visits. 😅
22:39
How in the world is his mother going to pay for all this damage he and the cops have done to this house??? Police aren’t obligated to repair the damage and doubt if insurance will cover it either. Poor mom.
Homeowners insurance. She’s required to have it.
@@pettender4229
Not all homeowners insurance covers this.
Who is going to fix my house 😂
🤣
That mom's poor house...
Pretty sure insurance will sort it out for her (either hers or the police’s). If the house is legally in her name, and she let them destroy it in pursuit of an investigation/public safety issue, then she’ll be getting a shiny new garage door. So hopefully it’s not in his name…. But yeah, I’m fairly certain things like that get covered. There would be a lot of holes everywhere if it weren’t the case. lol
@@JustAFace_InTheCrowd insurance says anything to get out of paying but they love taking in the money
"I am above tha law, nicchu" - "ok sir, have a good day!"
Poor mom man.
I cringe so hard at local cops approaching doors and windows as non chalantly as the first officer did at 02:23. Big Boy is taking SUCH a huge risk to his life. Reports already outlined a barricaded suspect, with reported threats to neighbors and police. WHY ON EARTH are they not even plating for each other?
they were likely familiar with the guy considering officers have been there 45+ times
anyone else and they probably would've responded differently initially
@@notsyniaknope, wrong
@@johnqpublic2718
ok cool
mind sharing why you think that?
@@notsyniakTotally agree. That's the most logical answer.
And then they hold guns drawn on people who are engulfed in flames or empty a whole mag into the back seat because an acorn fell from a tree. They are simultaneously stupidly confident and ridiculously scared of everything. We need a higher standard for cops and way more police training
yet again, a person sick with a mental disorder not getting help because there are no hospitals for them to go to and be treated and no follow up to make sure they stay on meds.
7:41 He was involuntarily committed to a mental asylum.
Hope Mom has the homeowners insurance.
probably wont even help her
She explaining he’s sick right away!
The first police in the door..
dude hit the gym!!
Or work in a mall as security..
What a mess that house..
That poor mom her house was destroyed 😔 I hope someone helps her clean it maybe the family will help
This guy gives the bonsai community a bad name... we don't claim this individual , edit they're his moms trees
Mental illness should never end up in death. It’s so sad.
Destroying people's homes to get 1 person that's messed up. And the thing is, the mother still has to live there.
It’s the megaphone battle for me
16:42 the pen clicking!! Grrrr
I literally was just there and thought the same!!!
The officer did an excellent job with the man... a family member who is schizophrenic also has had episodes of delusion just like this poor guy... it's nice to see that the officer negotiating with the man understood him and were able to get him out... I believe that mental health institutions need to be able to help these individuals longer than 72 hours... not only to protect their families or neighbors but the sick people also 😢.... schizophrenia is a very sad mental illness
I agree.
ALL mental illnesses are sad, tbh.
Indeed
This standoff looks like a militarized version of Hoarders😮
it's the fault of the illness = schizophrenia and not that of the parents
Honest and genuine question, why was it necessary for them to half destroy the house? I get breaking the door and some windows, but why tear multiple whole walls out and what did it achieve?
It allowed the local militarized police to cosplay soldier for a day.
Agree, very poorly handled by an obviously mismanaged department
Cause we have a huge section of the country that wants to defund anything to do with police. They cannot afford to train every officer to the level required to deal with a barricaded armed suspect, either violently or nonviolently.
Ideally police should undergo several years of training along with continued and repeated training before even starting the job, in some places it takes less than half a year for police to be trained. Instead they have to focus on overwhelming force to handle things. Equipment doesn’t age out or quit or get fired, so state govts figure it’s easier to just buy fancy equipment and train only the best officers to the level of swat operators.
Realistically the avg police officer only trains to he minimum level required and are let loose. Not much changes except learning from experience on the job. Not much extra training is given beyond min. requirements
I am so angry at this. Ridiculous. The amount of time and energy spent demolishing the damn house are you f’ing kidding me??
Not necessary!! It didn’t help or aid in his apprehension ONE BIT!!! Besides, how about JUST OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR AND WINDOWS!!
You think her homeowners insurance covered this? GeeZ
Most likely not
It's sad all the way around.
Poor poor mother my heart goes out to her.....may she find Peace.......
And then one cop is saying answer your phone and the other is saying hands up. Lort.
Was it really necessary to rip down the entire garage??? 🙄 I mean they already had access to the house and the garage. It just looks like overkill and unnecessary. That poor elderly woman 😞
They had to turn the power off to the house. The entire garage door had to come down. There was no other way! 😂😂😂😂
Police were there 45 times before and nobody thought he was mentally ill?
Jesus, they just destroyed this ladies home :(
How did that officer pass the physical exam?
Wait. All charges dropped after 46 times. Wow
We so so need a better mental health system period!
BEST CALLOUT REASON EVER! “ hey im calling out today cause i was up all night because the police were after a fugitive who lived next to me.
Never fear, officer man-bun is here! The patience of the guy on the phone is fantastic though.
Wow they are directly below the path of the planes. Must be irritating. Anyway I hope he gets the help he needs. Very sad.
I lived where the planes flew over all day & you get used to it.
Who is going to rebuild her home?
Was it really necessary to rip the front of that lady’s house apart it’s not honestly hard to get a garage door open without just ripping it off the house 🤦🏻♂️
Well I hope he gets all the help he needs… in a cold jail cell.
Mf’s ripped the mothers house apart just to turn the breaker box off smh
This is a typical reason by having laws preventing mental patients from having guns is necessary. There's no excuse for allowing such ill people to have deadly weapons that could cause great bodily harm or worse for them or others. His relative should have been able to prevent his possession of such a gun but they need to have an enforceable law to do so.
...tell me you know nothing about firearm laws, without telling me you know nothing about firearm laws. You don't know any of the laws surrounding firearms do you?
How would his relative been able to prevent him from getting a firearm. He is an adult. Follow him around to see if he is buying one?
@@sweetiepie3359 They should report his purchase and possession of such to the authorities and have them remove such from his possession. His mental illness was well known.
@rhondah1587 Here, I'll help you out. There are Already laws specifically restricting mentally ill people from owning firearms. Mom knew he had one, what type, where it was, and that it was loaded. ... she never did anything about it, and then this happened. This has nothing to do with laws but everything to do with mom being Negligent. And your comment is straight up ignorant.
@@Silidons91 Exactly. Typical democrats .
Why a medical psychologist wasn’t brought in I don’t understand. You would think they could find a specialist to handle to medical aspects of this. I hate that all this crap is put on police.

I feel so bad for the mom.... I hope the mom gets some kind of help.
Her house is destroyed.
She said her husband died I hope someone starts a go fund me or something for her. Maybe her homeowners insurance recover it but I doubt it.
This really breaks my heart. I hope the man gets to help that he needs but between him and the police to the houses destroyed and of course the police had to do what they had to do but it's still sad for the mom.
I feel like the police have to repair the damage to the house. If not that’s crazy!!!
@@rebekahcurtis1996 nope they don't. Now if it was the wrong house and it was destroyed, they'd be responsible. Otherwise, like in this, nope. We had a swat standoff right behind our apt building. Our whole neighborhood was on lockdown, and just covered in swat, and cops from multiple districts. It was literally over our back fence. Granted it was only 7 hrs but they destroyed the house and the owner was responsible for repairs.
Maybe she should have started a motherly instinct and got him help!
Based opinion
@@becky2235
Serious question: who pays for the damage that the cops do when they need to? Homeowner? Insurance?
Most policies have an exclusion for damage done by acts of war, terrorism and police or government. 😔
Yeah, the homeowner or tenant gets stuck with the damages in most cases. They often get charged for the equipment needed and the man hours required to remove the threat. Nothing about this was cheap.
@@MrResin-xk2mf typically the case even if the homeowner and house had nothing to do with the suspect that resulted in the damages. He could have randomly wandered into that house running from the cops and she still would have a hard time getting it fixed.
I'd sue the department for the damages expenses...it was so unnecessary
Safe to say there's no insurance plan that would cover this.
It’s so hard to be able to get these people the proper help. The resources and time that has to go into an already lacking system of people in these profession make it really hard.
Police have better things to do then have to fight these kinda of people multiple times a day. They’re simply a danger to public and to fix the problem is almost impossible.
To expensive

I knew Dave Navarro would eventually snap.
He’s still hearing Carmen Electras singing in his head.
Lol
When he asked about who was going to fix the house it would probably be his mom and who knows if their insurance covers it. I've seen a few videos like this and usually not the police since it's his fault for not coming out.
He's asking because of his state of mind. His rational mind is completely gone. Poor mom.

The level of destruction to the home is ludicrous. They better pay to have every bit of that fixed. Poor ol mother has dealt with enough 😔
In Maryland, there is a law that once a person stay in your house for at least 90 days, you cannot evict that person.
I know a mother with a adult daughter with mental problem. The mother refused to let her daughter in the house because she does not take her medication, but the police force her to take her because she was living with her before. The mother would have to move to the different state.
