  • Relatives of a young woman shot to death by a Polk County deputy last week say the system failed her, and now they’re demanding to know why.
    Investigators say last Thursday 24-year-old Jessiram Hweih Rivera came at a deputy with a shovel when he opened fire - killing her.
    Rivera’s sister, Shamsie Hweih, 23, says her family still has so many questions.
    Hweih doesn’t deny that her sister, the mother of two young girls ages 6 and 2 months, had a history of trouble that includes assault, drugs and battery on a police officer.
    But it was brought on, she says, by mental health issues and drug addiction. bit.ly/3oIZzLS

      Why is it that when someone truly great, like this Sheriff comes along, people automatically want him for a president? It's so foolish. He'd get assassinated right off the bat when the powers that be would try to school him on how it is to be a part of running the government, by other politicians, or their toadies. Something bad usually happens when humans get into power. They become easy to corrupt with their perceived sense of power and cave in to pressure from the good old boy system. I don't believe this Sheriff would allow that to be done to him. He's too aware and I think he lives according to our laws. Since politicians are so shallow in character, they wouldn't be able to tolerate the real thing in office. Dream on, Susie, or get your head out of the clouds and wake up. It's the people out here in life who elect the yahoos that get into office. No president could clean up the whole process while any of us sit on our hands out here and excuse the criminals for what they do to society!

  • @jeffbarr6816
    @jeffbarr6816 2 роки тому +31

    Sheriff Grady makes a very valid point about mental health professionals and those termed "co-responders". The points he makes are valid here in Australia. Mental Health professionals have a vital role to play in terms of patient/client management however for a variety of reasons Police are the ones called upon to deal with someone who is in a mental health crisis. Our mental health teams do not work 24/7 nor will they attend locations to deal with crisis management. They will not even proactively search for absconding patients. The reason they do not respond is due to the dangers that people in crisis and at times others present on scene pose. This is also the same reasons why Police are often formally requested to provide or be present during a mental health escort from one facility to another when clearly the person is the responsibility of the Health Department.
    This is why over the past 10-15 years Police have been given ever increasing amounts of mental health training to be better equipped to deal with people in crisis. In my opinion, the more training Police are required to do in relation to mental health is an indication that the mental health system is failing. However, Police can have all the mental health training in the world and despite that training, their intentions and efforts to de-escalate a situation can develop, usually rapidly, that requires the officer to defend themselves or another which ends in tragedy.

      There is one disadvantage of not having body cams. Body cams have helped the police in the court room far more than they help criminals (99% of the time). Most claims of police brutality are proven false after body cam footage is reviewed in a courtroom. So body cams can be a good thing to have.

"The person that failed her, was her." PERFECT - well said.
    I honestly feel sad for her family, I really do, but it doesn't sound like she would continue on her violent path and cause her family more anguish and possibly harm or kill some innocent person. Maybe, just maybe, her children will be raised by healthy folks.

Because she’s violent. Her own Mother tried! It’s sad but, the Sgt. didn’t become a Sgt. because he can do the best pit maneuver💆🏻‍♀️these LEO’s HAVE to do these trainings. When you’re in the moment, faced with a angry meth’d out Baker Acted person who is unmedicated: with a shovel, no less…you have a half a second or less to react. You pull your weapon and fire and your adrenaline is exploding and you MUST keep your wits about you AND remain calm. Sheriff is defending his man bc he did the right thing. Like he said: where were YOU? It’s sad that her parents are left to pick up the pieces and maybe raise her poor children, who have to live with this as well. There’s SO much the layperson can learn from this Sheriff. He knows what he’s talking about. I’ve never seen a man of his caliber, sit in front of a camera in a press conference, and educate the citizens correctly. He’s right.

    Whether as a cop, a male or female private citizen, or whomever (fill-in-the-blank), if presented with a real threat (perceived, real, there's no mistake), the person who is in defense mode with an attack has no idea of the threat person's background, how he / she was raised, how many kids he / she has, or if this is an abused or battered person. Each of us has the fundamental right to self-defense. What about YOUR kids? What about YOUR job and family and YOUR aspirations and goals? As Gordan Runyan states near the end in his excellent book, 'Resistance to Tyrants,' "second shooter is first victim." Something the liberal press has no clue, or seems that way. You must have made the decision long ago that you will use violent non-lethal or lethal force on someone who is about to harm you. This deputy was trained, alert, and he gave the woman plenty of opportunity to stop. She did not. I am sure he feels bad about it, but he had no choice.
    Kudos on Sheriff Judd for stating, clearly, the obvious, and for backing his people.
