I can tell you that the police don't treat the mentally ill very well. They are not trained in helping out the mentally ill. I got a friend who is mentally ill and is homeless sometimes, police beat him up and arrested him for being at a McDonald's on his Macbook. He was in jail for a year, gave him the wrong psyche meds, kept delaying his preliminary hearing until he had to plead guilty to get out of jail. Charged with threaten with intent to terrorize and only the police officer's word against his for evidence. I am mentally ill myself, I became disabled in 2003. In the IT industry one has to keep the mental illness a secret or else they lose their job or end up not being hired for jobs. Basically my career was over when I developed a mental illness. I can tell by Ian's tweets that he was not in his right mind. I hope his family files a lawsuit against the police, because they basically forced him into suicide for whatever they did.

The police were called because he was drunk and trying to break into someone's home. Then returned and was banging on another door. He died the next day, and not in police presence, but you want to blame the police for his actions? His actions which caused at least two citizens to fear danger to themselves that they felt they needed protection from him? This is all the police' fault? May I ask your age and education level? Do you always blame others for your actions and when bad things happen to you? Especially those things that offend others in your neighborhood and among friends?

>I can tell you that the police don't treat the mentally ill very well. They are not trained in helping out the mentally ill. The problem isn't training. You don't need training to be nice to people and not beat them senseless, nor do you need to be a genius to see when someone is having mental problems, or to know that being an asshole to someone who's clearly suicidal isn't helpful. The problem is that the police in the USA are largely evil. There's no other explanation for it. You have to be an evil person to enjoy beating other people, not to mention shooting them in the back and other violent things that our police do to people on a daily basis.

  This. I'm sorry to say that I agree. What is really astonishing is the low quality of the police forces in cities in the United States which pay police very very well (when all of their benefits are taken into account).

  The only people who think the police are evil are uneducated knuckle draggers whose total education is TV "news" and the internet while surfing the web in their mother's basement. You are an imbecile.
