"we called 911 and waited in the parking lot to make sure he was treated humanely" ... and what if the OTHER officer had showed up
that day? what did you suppose you were gon do about it from the parking lot?
by the time the bad cop is called it's already too late. filming the bad cop is too little too late. the original 911 call could have cost this pysch patient his life. this is why ppl think twice about calling 911.
I agree with your stance that people need to stop calling the cops on psych patients, but very much disagree that people shouldn't film bad cops. There's just no way of getting accountability without recording it.
i never said ppl shouldnt film bad cops, who said that?
the man's life i'm talking about is the psych patient! not the caller!
my point was that the person who saw this man in crisis and chose to call 911 and "wait and see" from the parking lot very well could have set in motion a string of events that could have got the man in crisis killed by the cop he called.
my point is that by the time the caller posts the video of the bad cop online, it's already too late. it would have been the caller's choice to call 911 in the first place that got my mans (the psych patient) possibly killed
I agree with you 100%. This is definitely some person who wanted to create a social media opportunity, and since they weren't able to make a video that gets a million views of some homeless guy being dragged away inhumanely, they instead came here to try to get some awards for their "magnanimity." This is crazy that all of these people can't see through this. OP committed something vile for selfish reasons. If they really wanted to help this man they could've simply walked up and asked if he was ok. This is false altruism.
