I'm new to posting at HN, and can't get the edit feature to work, but I did find an article about Mader's other issues.[1] Officer Mader responded to a deceased body, and determined the cause of death was natural causes, and treated the scene as such. Turns out the victim died of blunt force trauma to the head, neck and body, and the scene should've been treated as a crime scene. Unsure on his state. On a separate incident, Mader swore at person in a vehicle before performing an illegal search of the vehicle, lacking probable cause or a search warrant. The city claims they offered him the opportunity to appeal, and as far as I know the ACLU still hasn't picked up his case. Mader wanted to do the right thing in the incident reported in the OP, but sadly that kind of thing gets more people killed. You have a mentally distraught man with a gun, a 911 hangup from the same residence from a female, and the guy is now literally waving the gun around, and you still haven't addressed the threat. If you wait for him to aim down the sites, you are too late, and people die.
