The mother asked the cops to help her out with her son. I'm not sure what she expected to happen, but I would never ask the cops to help me out with anyone I didn't want to get shot 11 times.
Someone (@MakeItRain ?) posted this with a tweet or news article in another thread. I can't find the exact story, but the one I did find quoted the officers on body cam discussing how to proceed. One even voiced something like "shouldn't they be calling social services. I don't want to have to shoot this kid," or something like that. This article has some of that, but not the in-depth quotes lifted from the LEOs body cam footage. https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2020/09/09/salt-lake-police-shot/
Body cam footage releasedhttps://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/09/21/bodycam-shows-salt-lake/Quote One officer is heard on the footage asking why they should be doing an “approach” into Linden’s home for a “psych problem.”“We could call sergeant,” she said, according to the body camera footage. “And tell him the situation. Because I’m not about to get in a shooting because he’s upset.”“Yeah,” another officer, who later shot Linden, replied. “Especially when he hates cops, it’s going to end in a shooting.”Something’s gotta change with responses to mental health issues. My friend that died last month didn’t commit suicide on his own, it was suicide by cop. He was armed, but there had to be another option besides a shot to the head. Now that friend’s 14 yr old autistic son is really struggling and sometimes acting out physically. Who’s going to respond if a family member calls for help?

If you’re looking to be even more depressed, check out the comments where people are using the incident as a platform to argue white privilege doesn’t exist.

Cops have shown they have no problem shooting white people or anyone they think is out of line, threatening etc. Most broke, blue collar white people don’t want to hear about white privilege so the left is just alienating them by constantly bringing it up.

If anything hurts police reform and/or equity issues it's that we can't deal with this stuff honestly because white people are always getting their feelings hurt.
