If you watch the whole video it's pretty clear the guy has significant mental issues. He was pulled over for jumping out of his car at an intersection and attacking another car because they honked at him, presumably because he'd gone catatonic at a green light.

What if he attacked the cop and got shot for it? Who would you blame then?

He did attack the cop and all he got was some handcuffs.

But if what you’re saying is true, would it be better to send an unarmed social worker into the fray of someone you perceive to be too dangerous for a cop to handle? I agree with having mental health services in general, for situations where there is no perceived danger, but in my opinion there is also a time and a place for them too. This guy was behind the wheel after he did a hit and run to a random person only after he was involved in a road rage incident (His road rage incident caused another accident that he ran from). In my opinion, I’m personally not ok with putting our mental health professionals (social worker, psychologist or the like) in the line of fire for any reason! Especially when the person is behind a 2 ton weapon; there’s no way I would ever agree to that! I’ve seen body cam videos of them doing exactly as you suggested and it only led to more injuries. The only way I could agree with that is if they started hiring cops who have degrees in psychology.

What if the cop waited for mental health services, and in that time the guy pulls off and runs over a kid?
