• Critical Incident Vide...
The management company selling her condo for 30k when it’s worth over 400k seems very fishy. I wondered who bought it? That may be financial fraud.
Stephen Miller?
She was taken advantage of by the management company. I wonder who bought her 400k condo for $30k? There was , no doubt, financial fraud.
The buyer at the auction paid 30k dollars; and certainly had to take over the bank note for several hundred thousand dollars. Even at that he could flip it and make a hundred thousand which is typical for that type of situation.
I don’t know what it’s like in California as they have very different laws than states that I have lived in. However, in the condo complex I live in, if someone hasn’t paid their HOA fees, a lien can be placed on the condo and it would have to be satisfied before the owner could sell. It’s also possible that the HOA/property management business could purchase the condo and resell it to help recoup their legal fees as well. They don’t have to sell it for market value.
@@KimberlyLetsGo Thank you for explaining that. We will own nothing and we will "be happy".
The management company should be held accountable. What they did to her is fraud at the very least.
She was probably avoiding all the notices
She bought at a price and didn't pay. The Company later selling for 30k is a completely separate issue.
Anyone who would have a property bought for $450 000 sold for $30 ,000 has the. Right too be pissed off...I do not think this should be legal....
She was probably ignoring notices
Many places are sold at public auctions or sold for back taxes.
When they make the rules were always the criminal.
when you sell it at auction for an HOA sale, you buy the property with the first deed of trust still having priority over the property, that means if she had a mortgage it would still be owed on the property, so it is possible that 30k was a fair price because the buyer would still have to pay off the mortgage.
The whole story is unhinged. How do you go from Yale Phd to stabbing a cop? She was dealing with severe stress in her life. Sad.
I doubt she stayed anyone.He stuck his self with his own knife.
No she was nuts, not sure how she was awarded that phd
@rosemcginnis914 Mental health problems are pretty common among grad students. It's a hard work where you tend to be underpaid and very socially isolated (spending most of your days in a lab or a library). Then you have to compete for very few academic jobs that are available. Mental health screening isn't exactly part of the process.
You write a publishable paper, present it in front of a commitee which essentially is just there to prove it's your work, because if you can't answer basic questions, someone else probably wrote it. If you manage to answer these questions, you get your diploma and that's about it.
I’m someone who experiences psychotic episodes occasionally (never hurt anyone), and I’ve had cops barging into my house twice, guns drawn pointing at me and yelling, out of nowhere. It was horrifying.
Great video Dr Grande, as usual!
😬😬😬 I don't mean to be invasive, but was it a welfare check gone wrong?
Stay safe and well, friend 💞
I have too. One night I was psychotic and suicidal. My mom was coming over to take me to the hospital. My sister called 911 and my mom got there right before the cops did. I went out of the house to get in her car and saw 6 cops outside. My mother told them over and over I was not a danger to them. However - as the "standoff" continued I got agitated and started yelling and cursing at them. I swung my purse back and forth. Little did I know at that moment (my mother said) they unsnapped their holsters and had their hands on the grip of their guns. I never threatened them. The only person I would have hurt was myself. Finally, realizing I had to get in my mom's car to make them leave, I came down the steps slowly and after one last "MF's" I got in the car and went to the hospital uneventfully. My mom told me about the holsters a few years later. I'm grateful to God that none of them were trigger happy.
@@Kepi_Kei grateful to God? Um... You tried being grateful to the people who made the decision not to use violence?
@@Kepi_Kei I'm so sorry for what you experienced. I really hope you're doing better today. Both my experiences were very similar to yours so I know the feeling. Hang in there! (And don't worry about random hateful comments, they don't know what they're talking about)
@@Malepical Yeah it was a welfare check gone wrong, with an emphasis on "wrong". I was not a danger to anyone. Both times I was literally just sitting at my dinner table eating a sandwich with my cat on my lap watching some crappy TV show. So I don't know why that required six police officers to break into my house and push me to the ground and put their feet on me, guns drawn.
Thank you though!! Hope you're doing well!!
Cops and mental health don’t mix.
Ya because they aren’t social workers, if you blurr the lines then policing loses its meaning.
@@ikematthews6866 All you have to do is care and you can learn.
@@ikematthews6866 agreed. In full. We need to pull some money out of their weapons budget and hire some more mental health professionals.
@@ikematthews6866 Agreed. let's just let the cops shoot people they provoke. De-escalation is over rated.
@@augustbernard3396 or, OR we vastly increase the funding so that we can pay salaries high enough to attract worthy individuals. PR for the police has become so poor that precincts are dropping hiring requirements left and right to keep officers on the streets. I know it seems counterintuitive, but increasing funding and training would be a net gain for our society
The situation with the condo management company seems extremely shady. You don’t pay a couple of management fees and now you don’t on your $400,000 condo anymore?! Sounds like this company is running a scam
It could have been in the contract
They'd have to be hoping for a payment so they can sell to their friends cheap. In one similar Florida case the foreclosure attorney bought the ill-gotten condo. This is the American way?
@@OregonSingles Yep. Stark Capitalism at its finest.
I expect she paid cash and did not understand she had to pay taxes. In addition to that, she would also have ignored maintenance fees......Not untypical for a PhD .not used to handle everyday issues......Her work was likely totally consuming and she had no time for the basic stuff. How did it get that far ? No cops should have been involved, just some counseling.....
@@linanicolia1363 jealous because you ain't a PhD doctor? Common cuuunt!
I lived in an inexpensive condominium garden apartment complex for over a decade. Because they were inexpensive in a very expensive region, mentally ill people living on SSI resided in 1 out of every 4 apartments. They all had relatives that would check in from time to time, and manage finaces for them. They definitely took patience when they were not doing well. Having lived through this, I am beyond shocked this team of officers had a mental health team on the way but decided not to wait.The entire thing is, when these people are unhinged, they are unhinged. She didn't initiate the contact and she shut the door. I have zero EQ, zero, but why would you "poke a bear" when professional counselors are en route?
I can't believe how the police can go to someone's house, provoke them and then just kill'em as if it was a life and death situation. It was just a god damn eviction. Disgusting.
Your country's gun lovers are all sick pos... hammers looking for a nail.
They are nazis
Huh? The sheriffs dept went to serve an eviction notice. She answered the door with a knife & was asked to put the knife down. She refused. It went from there. If you think thats provication, WOW.
Okay, this is weird....what's going on...8 hours ago you commented on a post from 10 months ago, as if you were expecting me to read this. Is it possible that people are sometimes compelled to do thing?
They do that 90% of the time, especially in big cities.
I hate HOA’s that rob their community members.
HOA sound extremely fark up.
Being forcefully evited is traumatizing enough without an underlying mental problem to begin with but it will give you one.
During my childhood, I lived through 5 forcible evictions. I still have nightmares as an adult.
I’m sorry. I hope you’re in a more secure situation now
People who've not been on the receiving end of this don't seem to understand how awful it is. Almost worse than a break in. I do hope you are doing better. 🙏
Warm hugs, Kimberly. So sorry that happened to you.
@@jack-a-lopium
You aren’t an “undesirable human”. No matter what disabilities you have. As a blind person, I know how you feel though. Disabled people are treated like criminals in our society.
That’s traumatic 😳
Avoid any realstate with a HOA.
HOA sound like a lawyers driven scheme. America have more lawyers per 1000 than any other countries.
De-escalation is so critical for police to know when working with clients with mental health issues. I work in the ER and often evaluate those with psychosis and bipolar and having a gentle tone with empathy and reassurance does wonders in calming down a person with heightened emotions. I understand it wasn't in the ER and there was increased risk but the fact that there were so many of them and only one of her - they absolutely could have waited for mental health professionals. It's sad that she is dead because of lack of training
As soon as he said she was diagnosed Bipolar I got super sad. Knew where this was going. I agree the police need mental health training. I think everyone.needs to learn more and BELIEVE what they learn, and dont take it personal.
@@evonne315
i don't think the police want mental health training. they want to shoot people. it seems it is the only purpose for joining the police
Yes the SDSD only escalated the situation a Crisis intervention Team was needed after 1st interaction
And bringing a barking K-9 with 6-7 officers shouting cost her life
I'd send a social worker but have an officer nearby just in case there's trouble. From what I've read, the vast majority of mental health patients aren't violent but there's always a possibility.
My plan would be to have the officer out of sight but nearby. Should things turn south, the social worker would have a radio or a panic button to summon help.
If social workers are too expensive for a police department then perhaps a firefighter or an EMT would take the place of a social worker.
She's not dead because of a lack of training, she's dead because she chased the officers out of her home with a knife and then stabbed one of them.
Paper should've been served, and that should've been the end of it. That officer's job was to serve that paper and leave. She is well within her legal right to answer the door with a knife in her hand. No law was broken. And then once she hurt that officer's feelings, he decided to try to find in a reason to arrest her because his feelings were hurt and he was angry. This is ridiculous. Nobody had to die.
Screaming expletives at a woman seems less than professional and an unskilled way to negotiate any situation with anyone. Yet it's fairly typical law enforcement behavior.
They are the slave patrol.
Try to picture these scare men trying to do police works...they scrambled out the door, running into each others. Funny. Tragic death.
Certainly tragic.
The police are trained to take an authoritative role in all situations. They want to be in control! Foul language doesn't seem to be a good way to do this, but it was the officer's call. I think it may have harmed his objective because he appeared very unprofessional. The woman may have been very combative because the management company was obviously trying to rip her off!!
Learned a lot again. I’ll really try to keep these tactics in mind when dealing with a mentally ill person who feels threatened. Great analysis - the police should watch this video for their training!👍🏼👏🏼
I wholeheartedly agree.
JPB
You'll probably be in the majority, however, there will always be people with intentions of hurting someone for whatever reason (Sadists, for instance), who will actually actively attack someone with a mental condition, in hopes of getting a defensive reaction out of them, and then spinning that into seeming like they were the victims of a "mad" person.
Gotta be disgusted to no end by this, but it does unfortunately happen.
@@samf.s8786 disgust is a worthless emotion, and Monday morning quarterbacks are all cool-headed tacticians
Police training, Ha. They're not here to protect and serve. They're about intimidation and control. One could only wish it were different, it is not.
@@yasuke9317 everyone else comes out to say how they would be better at it than those who become LE 🤣🤣
Escalating by threatening just makes the the deadly outcome almost certain. Poor training in deescalating.
Thank you, Dr. Grande, for analyzing these cases. Compelling stories, really. As others have noted - as well as my own experiences in auctions - the $30K sale smells to high heaven: no way that it was publicly announced, this was an inside job of only insiders (or just one insider) bidding on the property. Those people need to be in jail.
The buyer at the auction paid 30k dollars; and certainly had to take over the bank note for several hundred thousand dollars. Even at that he could flip it and make a hundred thousand which is typical for that type of situation.
Who can blame her fear? All we hear about is shooting, robberies, rape ..etc...Why should we always accept that the " police " was in fear? Hell, I am afraid just at the thought of a police at my door, too me I will think that I would be few seconds from getting beaten down or shot! Stories like these don't help. Something needs to be done about these criminals with guns and badges!
The 30k is the amount of the lien on the property, which was placed by The property management. Nothing nefarious, merely protocol. Calm down, Skippy.
@@canileaveitblank1476 The 30k is reportedly the high bid at the lien auction; not the lien amount. Take it easy there Skippy.
Absolute baseless hogwash... Those property auctions are public as are the records of each sale.
Taking away people's shelter at the end of a gun is pretty disgusting on its own. Police are for public safety and shouldn't be allowed to be used by private individuals or companies to forcefully remove people from their homes.
A great point about asking questions to deescalate, Dr. G. I've had mental episodes myself and only once did anyone try to listen or show concern. The situation ended up so much better that way.
This bum should have been prosecuted. Plus this woman was robbed.I hope her family sues.
They got 835K
She closed the door. That should have been the end of the story. They could have come back later with a mental health team. Dr. G gives us great tactics for dealing with people who have mental illness.
Well they had to wait outside because what is she decided to leave her apartment? She would become a threat to the public since it was not clear why she felt threatened enough to hold a knife while talking to a uniformed officer. However, they definitely should have waited as she was not a threat to anyone inside the apt and waiting outside could've kept her from leaving and possibly acting out on anyone else.
wow criminals will rejoice all they have to do is close the door. I'm glad police enforce laws at the convenience of the law breakers.
@@jhoughjr1 what law did she break? Carrying a knife in her own house. Possibly a crime on another day. Nothing requiring a big bust in after already terrifying her with a gun to her face. None of this was needed at all.
@@jhoughjr1 She never left her home. She has a right to answer her door with whatever she chooses.
Agreed Brownie! This was an EVICTION, not murder. Normally it goes routine when it doesnt cops need to de-escalate whenever possible. They Called for mental health team then didnt wait for them to arrive, WTF? Why call them then?
Bad policing here, needless death and could have been worse all bc the way cops handled this.
If theyd just left, let her cool down, wait for her to leave her apt., then arrest her when shes not expecting it, take her on a 5150 for evaluation.
Fighting her at her door when shes delusional is just dumb.
You don't have to be bi-polar to experience false judgement based on the ignorance of Police. I agree with your assessment whole heartedly, Dr. Grande.
I know of a young girl whose parent called for help getting her to the hospital. The mental health expert never arrived and the police handcuffed the girl and confined her until the ambulance came. By the time they were through with her, she was put on display in the condo lobby and had bruises on her wrists and all the way up her arms.
I wish you guys would visit some of the pro police channels like Police Activity once and a while. A rational thought is few and far between there. People like to stick to their echo chambers, and I get that, I don't think there is much to be gained though online discourse. Especially on UA-cam. But incidences like these are becoming more, and more common. And instead of encouraging more empathy and tactics from our police, people are just cheering them on. usually if it winds up on Police Activity it's because they believe it paints cops in a good light, but that's kind of my point. This is what they now view as top tier policing. Bumbling over each other to break in a door where there was no danger, over a civil issue, putting themselves in a bad situation on purpose to justify their inevitable actions. This is the new norm, and I would love to see someone with a dissenting point of view around once and a while in other communities.
He referenced the psychosis she was probably going through, and the difference between a person experiencing psychosis and someone who is not, is the capacity for, and responsibility to, communicate and cooperate.
@@LisaMaryification Yeah wouldn't want here to have any shame for her actions, or to learn they have consequences. Don't fuckign call the cops when you want a baby sitter.
@@dishonoredundead I worked many years closely with the police. I have travelled to many places and gained experience with Police as a civilian/ tourist in many of these places . My experience in later years is that there is good and bad approaches. A lot has to do with the attitude of those who are running the show, the personality of the Police person and their intelligence and education. Every person is different. It is in the interests of society to keep these civil servants up to date and in practice so that mistakes are not monumental as in this case. There will always be mistakes but the negative effects can be minimal if one is kept in practice, like practicing CPR. I still think the way a lot of police handle the general public can be rather arrogant and showing a lack of respect. Apart from that, Dr Grande, I think, is spot on in his assessment.
I will never understand why police are so adverse to de-escalation? I owned bars and nightclubs for 20 years. in that time, there were many instances where a customer was unruly either due to inebriation or just having a bad night. I, along with the bouncer staff, usually had the superior position and we could have, in just about all cases, subdued the customer violently. Instead, we always chose, if we were able, to calm the person and let the situation end with no further incident. We always assessed that escalating the problem would, in the end, lead to further unwanted problems for us. I think this is analogous to situations and decisions that police must handle. Why won't they deescalate, if not for the suspect, then for themselves. At the very least, they can avoid paperwork, marks against their record, and investigations. Each situation has the potential for levelled charges, criminal and civil, resulting in judgements jeopardizing their careers and even their freedom. In the bars, we constantly chose de-escalation over possible bad outcomes. Why does it seem that police are incapable of such rationality?
During the early 90s I saw a cop taking his time de-escalate a situation with a drunken man who had a knife.
He was dangerously close to the knife holder, but he kept his gun in his holster and approached the man while calming him before taking the knife from his hands
The drunken man sobbed like a child before finally releasing the knife. He was a big dude, a inch bigger than the cop, but no life got lost and everyone clapped for the cop, he was a heroe for the day and as a kid,I wanted to become like him one day. People Said thanks, cops simply answer, "it's my duty".
I thought that the drunken man with a knife wasn't worth the effort and I had a lot of praise for the police, I believed that they were necessary like Doctors for the society.
Sadly thing has changed after 911 and the invasion of Afghanistan, Afghan veterans became cops, and Georges Bush engaged in a militarization of the police forces in the United States while the older good cops retired. This is how we end up in this situation.
I admire that ability
That's probably why you're working in bars, and not in the police force. In your field, communication, exchanging with people, and empathy are key to success.
To be a succesful cop, you just need to be intimidating, threatening, and know how to shoot. You can't expect rationality from unintelligent people.
You are so right about everything you said here. Thank you for saying it! You sound like you were a great business owner!
Because they are the law, de-escalation is useless.
She was in her house , you couldn’t just de-escalate and wait it out and let her calm down and handle it ? Here is a women who has been screwed over , has mental health issue and she has to be killed ? This is a classic example of over action taking things way out of context .
Yea the video that was released bothered me, now we are seeing similar if not worse videos where there is no de-escalation. Almost as if there's no training being applied, just react react react.
This is typical of every police department in the US and we allow them to keep hiring people who shouldn't be officers. They don't know they are serving a public trust and they all act according to their egos.
She dealt a real shitty hand,,rip
As someone who has had to deal with police while experiencing severe postpartum bipolar, this is terrifying. Thankfully my interaction with a team of armed police was non-lethal after my neighbor called them when she thought I was a danger to myself - thankfully.
What is your relationship like with your neighbors now?
🙄
10:27.. She was right. Somebody did harm her.
Trauma is harm. Loosing your home is insanly traumatic.
I think there is a major derision and disregard for the concept of mental health in the law enforcement community.
Even in the mental health care profession!
Oh man just wait. Police are nothing but gangs anymore.
They treat public spaces as their "turf" the way gangs to
The questions should be: Why are US police so poorly trained and why are they not encouraged to develop de-escalation skills?
Cause they were De-funded.
Too expensive. They should sell their army and military type equipment back to the military.
@@peacefulnatural They were already like that before they were "defunded" 😂. Don't be joking around.
I feel like this is situation-specific. There were to many roosters in the hen house, so to speak, and it got out of hand. It's interesting to me that you people want to only examine one side of the situation and draw generalizations from that, forgetting she wielded a knife and used it. Good riddance to her tbh
@@peacefulnatural Oh great. Another person who has no clue what "Defund the Police" means. To be fair, it is a stupidly misleading phrase, but what it means is reducing the job burden of the police by taking away responsibilities that they are not trained or equipped to deal with. Like, for instance, deescalating the situation with a mentally ill person. Police forces across the country have been BEGGING for this for decades.
I don't understand why cops think screaming at a suspect is helpful.
They seem to escalate every situation.
Local police departments are more akin to a military force. The purpose is to dominate, produce submission and intimidate through force, even in small town America.
And what would you do if someone has a weapon, talk to them in a soothing voice?
@@cg5648 yes absolutely , it helps de escalate the situation .screaming at someone will only make them more likely to be aggressive . It's basic psychology
@@jenjen.rutherford8559 become a cop and try it out. It’s worth a try.
@@jenjen.rutherford8559 And how many altercations have you been in? Even situations where deadly threats aren't involved almost always ends up in raised voices. It's part of how humans react to intense and threatening situations.
Dr. Grande, can we please not normalize police violence. This was an ambush.
I'm pretty sure she just saw them as humans with guns. the cop saw her armed and became paranoid. There's no reason why her paranoia was anymore unreasonable than the police's paranoia. if the police believes having a knife is criminal, then the cop needs to understand that him having a gun creates the same type of fear.
Exactly my thoughts. You don't need to have mental health issues to be afraid of a man with a gun who won't identify himself.
@@jocelynhunter2359 How would you have the officer "identify" himself?
You don’t answer the door with a meat cleaver! She was nuts
@@martinwhite418 She asked to see the first officer’s badge and instead of showing her or giving her an ID number to look up/call in to her local 911, he pointed a gun at her. She thought he was an intruder and he didn’t disprove her theory. There are serial killers who dressed up like cops to gain the trust of their victims, so even her paranoia is not entirely unfounded.
@@Juke582 you are on the wrong channel if you're just out here calling people "nuts" when they are having mental health problems.. this is a mental health channel - she has bipolar disorder, not "nuts" disorder
Why not be accompanied with social services to help deescalate? This killing was preventable.
Because that'll end up with the social service worker dead often as not.
This lady STABBED the cops and was consistently armed.
The situations police often walk into are absolutely bonkers and completely unpredictable. The officer is gonna have to go in first for the safety of the social worker...and that's when the bad thing is going to happen.
What if she had used that knife on someone else while waiting for these supposed professionals? What would you say then? You'd blame the police for not acting.
What sounds like a good idea on paper (as most things do, only on paper) is unrealistic I'm the types of situations that cops deal with on a daily basis.
You'd need a social worker literally riding around with the officer at all times and more often than not, they're just gonna get in the way as they try (and fail) to talk a man 10 days high on meth down from his psychosis or a manic woman with a butcher knife.
There's a place for mental health professionals...on the front lines with cops dealing with armed people isn't it.
I am not sure if you realize how much damage can be done with a knife and how quickly it can be done. Watch a couple videos on knives and what they can do....it takes about a second to kill someone.
Because that'll end up with the social service worker dead often as not.
And then you end up with a dead social worker AND a dead perpetrator.
This lady STABBED the cops and was consistently armed through the entire event. They even tried to run as she chased them.
The situations police often walk into are absolutely bonkers and completely unpredictable. People who think these things can be easily prevented are enjoying 20/20 hindsight....And not facing down a psychotic person with a knife.
What if she had used that knife on someone in the household while they waited for these professionals? Their inaction would have caused more death.
What would you say then?

They need a CIT like a lot if PDs most interactions like this end with noone getting hurt
Trying to come up with a protocol that's financially and resource available and legally acceptable is probably something that can't be figured out. If they had a mental health professional there, do you think that professional has the defensive capabilities to protect themself from being stabbed or shot at? Are there mental health professionals willing to do this work, being in a hostile situation and or carrying a gun to defend themselves? What are the answers? We can sit here and analyze the situation and complain and write out bad cop blah blah... but this youtuber doc nor you guys are offering real step by step solutions... You think that government officials would already have a solution, an action plan drawn up for law agencies to implement but alas, nothing. I seriously can't imagine a licensed therapist saying waiting for the calls at all times of the day and to rush over and be ready to defend themselves .
@@jazeenharal6013so why call for the mental health practitioners in the first place? The police overreacted and were clearly clueless about dealing with mental health patients
It's not uncommon (Or illegal) for a person to arm themselves before opening a door to a stranger. Holding a knife by your side, in your own house, while not making any threats isn't illegal. He was there to give her the paper, he did. He felt threatened by the knife, but she never came after him and instead closed the door. I don't think he had justification to point a gun at her, and they certainly didn't have enough probable cause to enter without a warrant. A civilian would not be excused if they behaved like this officer in similar circumstances.
The more I discover about thus story, the more sickened I feel, because we've seen it over and over.
Exactly my thoughts!
Yes. Women are constantly warned to be wary of fake police trying to lure you to open your door. A woman alone would be smart to be careful. Police obviously need better education, including practice, and perhaps better screening or hiring processes. From electricians to teachers to doctors, professionals in certain jobs are required to have extensive training under an experienced professional. Police should be the same. And they just need to stop killing people.
The fallacy here is that he is an officer and he is giving her an official document, that is enough for her to use logic and deduct the veracity of the officers authority. Mind gymnastics in order to bend the narrative, man!
Reminds me of Daniel Shaver.
Shame. This is devastating. I lost my sister to bipolar disorder 3 years ago. She was the sweetest person. This lady didn’t deserve to die like that.
This woman was stabbing people in the chest, you dimwit. Does she sound sweet to you???? What does that have to do with your sister?! Nothing!!! And what do you mean you lost her to bipolar? What did she do? Biploar doesn't kill you.
I’m sorry for the loss of your sister. ❤️
I was a psych nurse with 21 years experience. Your advice is absolutely correct. Speak softly. Make that girl feel safe. Make her feel she has some say in the outcome and do all these things taking “baby steps.” When you play the “heavy,” a bad outcome is guaranteed.
While Dr. Grande recommendations may work on a tiny percentage of mental heath sufferers, they do not work a majority of the time. Studies have shown the more weakness criminals perceive by "softly speaking" and making them "feel safe" police, the more they will try and exploit the situation, leading to many more dead police officers. This is why police officers are trained to intimate criminals, before they escalate their criminal behavior. Mental illness can not be identified in the literally seconds police have to disarm and capture a person. Your Monday morning quarterbacking tips are worthless in practicality, but look great in a text book. I guess it also makes the person puking them out feel superior. Do you feel better now 'psych nurse of 21 years" of hospital setting theories, and zero real world experience?
The police needed a warrant to arrest Li for the incident that occurred the day before. They had no right to enter her apartment.
You're definitely not a lawyer. Shut up.
Dr. Grande missed this fact. Shame.
Wasn't her apartment anymore
Hearsay and congecture is all they need.
She didn't have an apartment.
The door was closed, they had multiple officers there but just couldn’t wait for the mental health trained team to arrive and just had to knock the door down??? I am disappointed ngl.

IDK how he could miss her with a beanbag rifle 4 times at such a proximity, it also seemed that no one was in charge on the police side. Lots of ineptness, oversights in these officers actions.
She was 80% - 90% behind the closed door.
Rifles can't fire bean bags
Very true it's normally always the first officer on scene even if there is a sergeant or corporal it always falls on the first officer on scene. And in this case the first officer was a total f-ing imbecile.
Point of a firearm is to keep distance between yourself and an attacker while still being able to defend yourself.
@@shootingbricks8554 Thank you for your expertise. Point is, how could he miss at bad breath range? I doubt he fired.
You said it perfectly. They provoked her into attacking them then killed her in self defense.
Could it be that the police brought about this situation as it seems that their ego wouldn't allow them to just wait for a professional team they damn well new was on its way, its seems these officers were actually tripping over themselves with their sheer stupidity and shouting and swearing at a lone mentally ill woman was oh so brave but just inflamed this situation.
In the year 2000, there was a standoff between Irish police and an armed man with psychiatric illnesses in the village of Abbeylara, Ireland. The siege lasted 25 hours, with John Carthy being fatally shot by the end of it. It caused a number of inquests and went to the top of government with the Barr Tribunal. The government made an apology to the family over the incident. Police in Ireland very rarely shoot people, and they do not carry firearms in general.
On a side note, the Irish police, called Gardaí, requested at one point that the FBI investigate the case. The findings of the FBI was that they didn't kill him quickly enough. Which says a lot about US law enforcement.
This story is on YT under Irish Coffee
Wow.
@Lynette Agueda Policing in Ireland is very different. And we have never had a mass shooter.
Jesus Christ :(
I don’t understand this logic. Are you under the impression that rogue police shooting is a practical concern? Lookup most common violent crimes to make sure being denied self-defense is really in your best interest.
Thank you Dr. Grande for doing this case. As an asian woman living in the US, I concur there’s no evidence of racial motivation here. From my experience, people don’t mistakenly assume I am a violent threat, but rather usually the opposite - that I am meek and confused. What I have to disagree on is that the officer who made initial contact did not have understandable behavior. Even as a “paperwork guy”, his training as a member of the police force should have instilled appropriate responses when faced with a potentially violent individual. Being surprised is not an excuse to panic, shout expletives at the individual, escalate the situation, and give incorrect commands. As for the backup team, I am in awe. If these guys were trainees doing a simulation, I would have given them a big fat F for their disastrous judgment, skills, and lack of coordination. But these were full blown officers who were also briefed on the situation. This awful case highlighted the incompetence of SD sheriff’s to an international audience. A true waste of taxpayer dollars and tragic outcome for Dr Li.
@@brucelee4996 thank you
"Meek and confused" is indeed the stereotype - so well put - and something that you most certainly are not. Thanks for your insights.
Asian women are well known for their knife skills lol.
What was so incorrect about "drop the knife"
Sometimes being overbearing and very verbally commanding can help the situation. You can't always have the right response to someone. What you can do 100% of the time though, is not charge the police with a knife. It's easier to teach people not to do that, than teach officers to be absolutely perfect in every single situation.

There is one reason: being a trigger happy brute.
@@puketinmoarliek994 yes, no GOOD reason
Yes, let the mental health team get stabbed first.
That's a really bad reason. Id even say a grossly negligent if not malicious one even.
I’m critical when police officers cannot wait for a mental health team to arrive to de-escalate the situation. When there’s a bunch of them, and a barking dog that will only escalate things. We see a lot of power and control issues with police officers

there was no urgency to remove her by entering . They could have negotiated.

$30.00 for a property in Califonia, even in short sale! Is that even legal? She was robbed. May she Rest In Peace.

@@sullivanknoth6430 Did you not watch the video? Dr. Grande is a certified mental health clinician. He specializes in methodologies pertaining to handling people struggling with mental illnesses like the one this victim was struggling with, and he very clearly provided several ways in which this scenario could have been approached which most likely would not have resulted in this woman being killed. She was killed because the police didn't have a clue how to handle this scenario in a more reasonable fashion. The bumbling idiots didn't even have the patience to wait for the mental health specialists to arrive on scene who were literally on their way. Incompetence.
In Canada where I live, it happened many times. Every couple of years something like that happen, cops get called to help a mentally ill person but endup shooting the person that they claimed to wanting to help .

What? She answered the door for a stranger, while holding a weapon in her own home. She asked for his name & badge number, which he refused to give.
How is that irrational???
She threatened maintenance employees additionally in a legal case she should have understood that police were going to come to evict her so if she was acting rationally from previous information she would know the police were coming to eviction and they were actual police and taking the eviction put the knife on the counter and went into the house in addition when she was threaten with a gun most people would relent in that situation even if they don't think they're police in value of their own lives put down a knife assess the situation and a more common collected manner and suss out their intentions she went immediately to saying they were fake police even though from previous information she would have known police were coming

I disagree. Thankfully Dr Grande has never been the victim of police imposters.She stated she wasn’t positive who they were. I agree with her. I have had an encounter with police imposters but I never opened the door. I called 911 and they sent real police. I stayed on the phone until the real police arrived at the front door and I confirmed with the dispatcher the name, badge number and description of the officers. The real officers told me that I was smart not to open the door as there had been a string of home invasions in our area with the intruders posing as police. I was terrified.
Then why open the door?
Really, the cops need to drop their screaming. I've seen them doing a drive through in the apartment complex , and when they see someone walk out to their car for work, they go from boring drive through to screaming at a citizen who pays their salary and cussing at them. The rest of us seem capable of speaking calmly to people in sketchy situations, they need to do the same.
American police are always screaming and freaked out . Watch British police , unarmed , not screaming . Amazing.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Well I guess that David did look real calm in the footage before he r@p€d and unalived Sarah Carrick. But you are right in terms of guns... the Pom Popo are rampantly racist and sexist, but not having every police officer armed with a gun, means that they don't have an outrageously high police kill count that the USA has.

Thank You for this analysis. Anyone serving an eviction notice should be trained to deal with such a situation. A single woman is a perfect victim and she had every right to request proof of ID. Anyone would be suspicious of an armed person arriving at the door with documents. She should not have opened her door to a stranger without a witness present. Most women would call a neighbour. Obviously this victim was not capable of behaving appropriately. What a shame for all involved.
The HOA had come and threatened her the day before. She was suspecting more foul play by then. $30k for a $400 k condo? This was a scam and the cops stuck up for the scammers.
Absolutely correct. SDPD officers mishandled the situation from the beginning.
Agree. This crew of police was very unwise NOT to wait for the clinician(s) to arrive.
Yeah because those “clinicians” were going to be able to talk down this nut job woman. The only language she would understand was bullets. Don’t take her side, she needed to go.
I imagine they knew they didn't have to. There would be an investigation but zero consequences.
All ego. She was locked in her apartment. She was going nowhere. They could have easily waited.
@@treasurethetime2463 Easily waited for what? This woman’s fried brain to fix itself? She was done for, dude. The cow had to be culled.
@@treasurethetime2463 Police today are dead set(no pun intended)on getting some kills under their belt. The part about her being alone in her apartment safe, and them choosing to gang rush in like they had just been dropped via a clown car, to kill a little old lady, is usually left out of the story they tell to their family and friends at the bar. And if you think I'm being unfair, go read comments on R/ServeAndProtect. Police have a warrior mentality now, only problem is they aren't soldiers. But that wont stop them from killing people who are no threat to anyone but themselves, or civil matters.
And just on a personal note I feel so bad for this woman. She didn't want to leave her home, she felt she was wronged, she knew she couldn't explain that to a disinterested thug, she had already been served, their duty was fulfilled, he could have just left and it would have been perfectly legal. And then her reputation was professionally shredded to protect the police posthumously. I don't understand how people can defend this type of thing, but at the very least people could show a tiny bit of compassion for their fellow man. just because they can do something, doesn't mean they should. Who did they help here?
This is incredible. Someone robbed her of her property and caused this distress to begin with and now they are laughing all the way to the bank with no justice being served. It is incredible that the law doesn't state that they have to sell the property for approximately market price. There is a massive moral hazard in this situation.
Really?? So they should let her just stab whoever she wants when she gets upset?? Wow…

@@REDVETTExxx that's not what I was referring to. At the beginning of the video he mentioned that she hadn't paid her condo fees and this they sold the condo for something like 30k to pay them.

But it doesnt. You try missing 3-4 payments on your home. Watch the bank repo it and sell it and you wont get a penny. Same for her. But none of that really matters.

I dont care what she was going through. Me and you and anyone else would have been blasted if we stab a cop. Its simple. Bringing morality and what should have happened into this is a moot point. Take emotions out of it. Drop the knife. Then sue for her home in court. Either way she would be alive to buy another!
She probably received multiple notices and ignored them. How about she just pay her bill.?
The first deputy could’ve switched it to act like he was there to help her. Who’s the knife for? Are you ok? Is someone trying to hurt you? I’m here to help you.
I know she was being evicted, and it’s hindsight.
Yes. I did something similar. A person holding the knife is committing a threat display. Back off and talk.

She stayed in her apartment, even closed the door, the threat was gone. The police could have simply walked away.
Beanbag Buffoonery. There was no need to kill her. Even medieval agents of the law had means of apprehending a person offering this level of threat. They'd use various types of less-lethal polearms to physically pin a person down, while remaining out of striking distance themselves. Anyone with a push-broom and a spine could have subdued this woman. These police officers, like many, are pathetic and cowardly.

Police were definitely in way over their heads with this one. They should have waited for the mental health people to get there but nope, they wanted something to brag about to their coworkers and ended up killing her for their stupidity.

all this shock and awe for single asian lady under some duress ? its sad how it ended leaving the cops with little choice. This is in the background of heightened violence against Asian women in general.
I think the mistake was made by the first officer. I'm pretty sure you hand over the paperwork and you leave.. why was he hanging around?? She was in her home, obviously having some mental health problems, the first officer escalated this situation unnecessarily 🥺
they give you several notices before they actually come remove you from the house. i highly doubt she had no idea that her property was being taken from her. The cops are fucking pathetic! What kind of piece of shit would want a job taking people’s homes from them?

It's unclear to me what the job of a police officer delivering eviction notices is. My understanding is that once the papers were in the hand of the correct subject his job would end. What did it matter if the subject had a knife or a feather pen in their hand. Walk away and your job is done. If the subject does not adhere to the eviction notice sheriffs would take over. This was an escalation that only could result in someone's life.
Officer was sent to deliver the eviction notice because Dr. Li was threatening the building maintenance man the day before this happened to her. She already posed herself as dangerous, that’s why the officer immediately notices the knife and escalates the situation. Dr. Li is very aware that she is talking to a police officer, that’s why she slams the door on his face. Also, saw someone saying language barrier, and if you can’t understand basic English, then you can be an unruly lawbreaker? Dr. Li knew full well what she was doing and answering the door with a knife is clear that she had intentions to escalate the situation before the officers did. I agree, the officers did a terrible job, they had plenty of opportunities to shoot her before she got to stab anyone.
@@Tytaniumm First of all the Constitution protects you while you are in your dwelling. If The officer is holding eviction orders in his hand means that she had not been evicted yet and had every right to in her dwelling. Secondly, you can answer the door to your dwelling while holding whatever you want in your hand. That is not against the law. If you feel like you need to protect yourself then so be it. So my final analysis is that her constitutional rights were violated because some said that she threatened them. I don't think that deserves capital punishment.
@@victoradino6322 But if she was capable of picking the knife up, then she is capable of putting it down… She clearly wanted to put up a fight for that apartment, and quite frankly, that isn’t the way you go about it.

Sounds like Officer Bunch had been waiting for a situation like this so he would have some exciting story to tell. It was clear she was confused and the officer simply leaving was the proper tactic. Perhaps there was a reason he was just a paper delivering officer.
It sounded like he didn’t have a lot of experience when confronted by someone with a weapon. He normally probably just served the paperwork and left. He should’ve had more in-service training every year so he’d feel more comfortable in these types of confrontations.

In this day and age, it seem prudent that the training of police should include some mental health skills. I gather that it is just a specialty. What a sad outcome for her and for the reputation of the police. Thank you, Dr Grande for another enlightening analysis!
Police in most states are barely trained at all. A couple months at most and then they are put on the job.
Well said. One problem also is that law enforcement sometimes comment not always, but sometimes, attracts attracts people who are hurt and kill just for the heck of it. I am by no means of saying that this includes all members of law enforcement or even perhaps but nearly every day on the national news I'm hearing of an episode somewhere or rather where an unarmed person was it was injured or killed, somewhere in this hemisphere.

The first question on an application to attend police academy should be "were you raised by fearful people to believe the world is a dangerous place."
Then, they should be tested for an addiction to drama and intensity (adrenaline, dopamine, recklessly endangering themselves and/or others).
Are you saying the world is not a dangerous place? Then you go serve eviction notices and have people try to ki!! You.
He served her the eviction notice and then didn't like that she answered the door with a knife. If a single woman in her own home wants to open the door armed for her safety she should be able to. He clearly got the paper into her hands before considering her a threat. He should've simply told her he knows it's gotta suck and wished her luck and walked out. His job was done. 🤷🏼♀️ But, noooo, gotta dig and find a reason to go back in and make her submit to his will, at any cost.
She was right, it doesn't need confirmed, they failed to respect her and her personal space despite her showing signs of paranoia. The officer could've served her and walked away! If the threats from the day before were so bad why wasn't she picked up the day before? 🤬

My thoughts exactly! There are some crazy azz comments on here!
@@biggz48aperry54 Exactly! People can't see well.
Agree!
Absolutely not. In the moment, the officer handled the situation very well. He doesn’t have time to think about her paranoia. He sees someone with a knife and asks them to drop it. Very reasonable. And when she refuses, he has every right to search her house in case there is something wrong. His “job” may have been done but at the end of the day he isn’t a robot he’s a human. She could have been/putting people in a very dangerous situation by holding that knife, so checking was the right thing to do. They gave her multiple (I think 7-8) chances to drop the knife yet she refused. Not only did she still hold the knife, she CHARGED at an officer and plunged the knife into his body. I don’t care what paranoia or difficult situation you are in, attempting murder is never justifiable. It is quite unfortunate how the situation ended up but I don’t think the officer can be blamed in this situation. She couldn’t have possibly thought that her actions wouldn’t go unpunished. She was 100% responsible for escalating the situation.
I cant get past the fact he never showed her his badge after she told him she didn't know if he was an intruder.
This! Why didn’t he show it when he arrived, before he even served her?
He was in uniform. In was more than obvious he was an officer. She was out of control. She was a accident waiting to happen. If it wasn't police she would have eventually attacked someone else
@@johannadavis7594 it's not unheard of for ppl to impersonate law enforcement, including down to the uniform. Showing his badge when asked may have calmed her some. His refusal certainly didn't help the situation.
Because he was holding his gun out, probably. If he did feel threatened and didn't feel comfortable holding his gun with only one hand, then that could explain. Yes it's possible to shoot one handed but for accuracy and to keep others around safe it's best not to. One small flinch can send a bullet behind her and through a wall.
@AMicheal PR he knocked on the door for one and then explained to her why he was there in uniform. Intruders don’t tend to do that. And from a police officer point of view, she could have taken that one moment he went to show her his badge, which was on his uniform, to attack him with the knife.
Totally preventable, senseless and shameful tragedy made by the police!
so you think she should have been allowed to keep stabbing the police?? You're a piece of work.

Thats why your country sucks now, she charged police with a knife and had threatened other people. You both are delusional and bad for America.
That is unproffesional behaviour by the deputies! 😊
The moment I heard she was holding a "meat cleaver" in her hand I knew it wasn't going to end well. This is very typical to have in a Chinese household. We use this over all other knives. It is odd that she didn't put it down before answering the door but if she had mental health issues then it could explain why she didn't. The US police is all trained to react and behave in fear.
I think many Asian women are under heightened stress from all the random violence they've encountered after 2020. She probably wielded the same knife at the condo's maintenance or custodial workers a couple of days before.
Yeah I'm sure you have conversations with people whom you've never met all the time while they're holding meat cleavers and you have zero fear of that at all, standing a few feet away from them like its totally normal. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?
One thing that’s amazing to me is police must know they are under a microscope in this country. Yet they still do these stupid things resulting in peoples deaths. As you said They treated this like she was in the apartment killing people. If they went in because they thought she might kill herself that really back fired because it ended up suicide by cop.
They are clearly trying to normalize it, don't you see? From an outsider's perspective, the USA is a police state - serving the citizens had been deleted from the job description a long time ago and you are now experiencing the new generation of officers who have been trained in that manner from the very start.
No they reacted as though she was going to kill THEM!
They don't care about that shit. Only mostly libs care about police brutality and overreach, and they lack balls and/or power to do abything about it.

She answered the door with a weapon. Police are under a microscope because people with fragmented information, much of which is inaccurate , believe they can make judgements about a police action. Unless you've been threatened with a weapon, you do not know how that feels. You say stupid thins, I say self defense.
Standing inside your own home with a weapon = death sentence, okay.

Because these police have serious empathy issues. They think force is the only way.
Dr. Grande, you provided some excellent suggestions on how to deal with someone undergoing a paranoid/psychotic episode. I can only imagine her fear while facing those officers screaming and pointing a gun at her. I wish the police officers could have waited for the Mental Health professionals to arrive.
Outstanding analysis, thank you.❤️
@@ArtCurator2020 That’s a good point.
Are we sure the police officer wasn't having a psychotic episode? Seems like paranoid rage.
Hi Rejane. Always love your comments. I do feel LE needs to take mental health into account and this situation clearly had those markings due to her history. Those cops used too much force but it's impossible to diagnose or know what stage anyone's in, even by their clinician. Sad case regardless, always great points by the doc. Have a super day & week 😊🌺🌵🍰💙💛
@@zenawarrior7442 Thank you Zena, I also enjoy your posts very much.🙂
Yes, I agree. They definitely used too much force. They were also confused and had no idea on how to handle the situation. Nonetheless, I think that keeping calm and collected is always advantageous and extremely important in this line of work. I wish they would adopt this approach more often instead of aggressively yelling at people.
Have a lovely day Zena!💕😘
@@rejaneoliveira5019 Hello! Yes agreed. Cops are trained to be aggressive to stop situations but many times can't turn that switch off or realize when it's to time back off. Shouldn't take 5 guys yelling w weapons to get the situation under control. Sad. Thx so much. Hug to you 🤗and have a lovely day too🐰🐞🌹💛
These cops asked for trouble! Justice for Dr Yan Li!
I'm soooo sick of people using racism as a reason why incidents like a lady stabbing a cop in the chest getting shot.
The police did escalate this situation like they always do!
Well she was pretty scary her and her knife
@@lisamac8503 I do hope you're being facetious.
@@lisamac8503 yeah standing there in HER HOME WITH HER OWN KNIFE, how dare she. I hope you don't ever have to cook anything at your house. How do you know she wasn't in the middle of preparing a meal or a whole week of meals for all we know?!?!
What I don't understand is that in the US police shootings almost always fatal. In Russia police shoots to wound a criminal, and even the most dangerous criminals end up in hospitals, not in morgues. It's like they try to avoid counter-lawsuits from the victims of the shootings, no person - no lawsuit (( This is a frail girl. A shot at the hand would eliminate any danger of a knife attack and she would be hurt enough to stop any resistance. However, this option is not at all discussed
How do your shoot to wound ?
@@peterthegreat996 Not mag dump, for one. But USA police academies train to shoot to kill, they train their officers to always have their dominant hand at the ready and to empty the magazine if you begin shooting.
@@peterthegreat996wow, are you really that ignorant?
Dr. Grande is my FAVORITE content creator 🔥🙏🏾
Don't be a suck up!🙄
How hard is it to believe that police officers are there to harm you when so much of the time that’s the truth? You don’t need to be psychotic to believe that!
As a psychotherapist who was motivated to write a novel about the state of the art of mental health care ('Land Of The Average Bears'), where too many therapists are in a hurry, overbooked, and treat their work as would a lawyer, with no sense of the fact that after over a hundred years the study of 'Psychology' is still in its infancy, and can never be, as the original scientists envisioned it, a faux precise science like physics, I am very impressed with the sensitivity and knowledgeable insight Dr. Grande has brought to this case which so easily could have ben subjected to interpretations way off the rails of what is necessary to learn from such an unnecessary tragedy.
At one time I had 3 people with bipolar disorder as nextdoor neighbors. They were all men. When they went off their meds the Police would have to be called to take them to a mental health facility. They would be returned to their homes once the crisis was over and they had resumed taking their meds. This case could have been resolved in a nonlethal manner had the police waited for the mental health team, and if police departments trained their officers to deal with mental health situations. I believe the sale of her condominium should be investigated and the people responsible should be dealt with accordingly.
yessss sue the condo management company, investigate thT Auction and sue the police.
And my opinion, serving papers, (especially an eviction notice) is absolutely NOT something that any law enforcement agency should be doing! That is why they have such a thing as a Process Server.
Why? Government is there to protect peoples property because an eviction notice is a property issue.
I’m sure big daddy government has process servers. An eviction notice does not call for jackboots.
For real, is that to intimidate the person? Use the police? Like, 20 of them at once. Thats harassment.
@@sunshineeddy6849 yes it does, government is there to protect property.
@@ikematthews6866
A process server is an officer of the court, just like the police officer, just like a judge. The process server, his job by its very definition is to effect service of process. I've served several hundred eviction notices. In my opinion, it is a waste of resources, and a waste of money and time for a police officer to be serving eviction notice paperwork. That is the job of a process server.
Police function to protect private property first, while human life lands lower on that list of priorities. (Unless it’s their own.) And why wait for the mental health team to arrive and handle the situation so much better? Might start convincing people that maybe a police state wasn’t such a good idea.
“Mostly because of the stabbing part” hahahaha. Dr. Grande is a comedic therapist extraordinaire.
Eviction notice shouldn't be a lethal experience.
In the UK cops don’t have guns. They have to be masters of talking people down and diffusing stressful situations. This really didn’t need to end with someone being killed. The moment Yan Li came to the door with a meat cleaver - talk calmly ask her to put it down - if not BACK AWAY she was only a risk to herself. Take the feeling of threat away from her. Wait for the mental health team to come and speak to her, and negotiate this one to the conclusion even if it takes time. A trained negotiator can be brought to the scene to resolve. So sad to see fear - driven aggression in cops. They are supposed to train that out of you, cops should use calm, controlled and suitably escalated force not be run by their Adrenalin dump.
She literally stabbed an officer, and you said she was only a risk to herself?
Apparently, Yan Li isn’t the only delusional person. Actually, the first officer should have shot her and it would have been totally justified. Subject with a knife that is only feet away is an “imminent threat.” Also, the officer armed with the non-lethal shotgun should have been covered by other officers. She should have never made it past the bedroom door.
Last time I was London, I talked with several armed police officers.
What are you talking about? Of course the UK has armed police, I have seen loads of them. Also, most are certainly not masters at anything, least of all communication.
I've talked to many armed Police Officers in the UK. In France my wife and I went to morning Mass at Notre Dam. Officers with Machine Pistols patrolled the Sanctuary. I also saw saw French Officers throw a teenager at the Train Station over a turnstile after he tried to mug a patron. So do some research or actually travel the world before you decide what goes on.
Wait, you're saying American police officers reacted in an overly-aggressive manner and made a situation much, much worse than it already was!?
Jeez, Dr. Todd, next thing you'll be telling me that the sky is blue.
I can not believe that handing over a notification can lead to a death, this is serious overkill.
That she caused
@@ima8533 that the police caused. The first officer closed the door after serving the notice. She was no longer a threat.
Oh believe it and it happens more often than not for less.
@@jocelynhunter2359 no longer a threat my ass
She was a violent criminal that needed to be subdued
@@ima8533 You know, in my opinion police officers should be educated doing their job properly. They are weaponized and have power.
Dr Grande, there's no doubt that a more suitable handling of the situation by the police officers may have resulted in this woman still being upright today. They should have kept clear heads and diminished the chances of this turning nto a volatile situation. The police officers intensified what could have been an otherwise routine call. A mediator of your caliber should have been enlisted to de-escalate tensions.
I live in San Diego and according to our local news the condo management and police were fully aware that she was unstable and had mental health issues. She had been behaving very erratic during the previous year. We have had MANY instances in which police have been called (by family) to assist with a known mentally I’ll person, only to have the person shot and killed by the police. I’m black and personally think it has anything to do with race. I think that there needs to be systems in place that should be utilized when dealing with severely mentally ill & a database of known people so that different tactics can be utilized. We’ve never been given an update on this whole fiasco & probably won’t.
Government databases? Yeah, no thanks.
Thank you. This situation was botched and I guarantee the San Diego PD will pay the estate big time. I work with people who defend police and am usually in their camp but I will be glad to see them pay her heirs big time in this case. My heart goes out to the family.
She attacked them with a knife...I would be surprised if her estate gets a payout especially after she chased a fleeing officer
They won't pay her though.
The taxpayer will.
@@dantauche7917 With her mental health history and the failure wait on mental health. The injured officer was treated and released. She obviously did not have training with a knife. None of these cops can disarm an untrained woman carrying a kitchen implement? Not to mention the load of non-lethal equipment they failed to or negligently deployed. I think they will recover.
@@cincylitigator4704 no police are not trained to disarm a knife wielding suspect, they are trained to shoot them. In terms of the nonlethal implements they had, you make an excellent point, I don’t know why they didn’t try those first or at all.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 yes sadly that is how the system works but there is a small measure of justice in it. The cops should be fired but probably not.
