Does Sane know

i) if there are comprehensive studies done on harms perpetrated on welfare checks, (worldwide or in Australia).

ii) specific studies done into deaths by police apprehension, whether during welfare checks or other circumstances.

My heart goes out to all involved including the dead young man and his mother.

Why cant they use tasers, or shoot them in the legs... eg., away from the torso,,,

To me, the reporting was a bit stigma dodgy, as it somehow implied to me that the person deserved death by virtue of having had mental health treatment.

Sorry for the young cop. They shouldn't be given guns, if they cant cope with the fear and cannot do proper de-escalation. Only give them to more experienced senior partner...

To me it seems, there is too much control training... for police... ie... giving orders with immediate demand to comply...

when I worked in compliance we had the decency to send letters, with 2 weeks to respond. Not this bravado, throwing their weight around style, bullying by law enforcement, that is becoming more the norm. Hmmmm..

Please bring up Peels Laws of policing.... Yes, we had Dezi yesterday and now this. So sad. Not progress,

I am a distressed community member. No I do not feel safer, with the man dead.
