[@astroidangels3378]

that’s how you handle a situation like that. instead of shooting and killing the person, you need to be patient and find ways to deescalate without violence. when it comes to people with disabilities and mental illness, violence never helps, only worsens.

9:07 that part just made me think about what he’s thinking about I know he’s sorry for something he did and he didn’t mean it man these things get me sad

[@kylovesart]

Honestly that's part of why it's so sad and dangerous when the developmentally disabled interact with police. These actors did a good job of portraying a good interaction, even though they're still things that they did I disagree with. But like the brother said because of his functioning level it's easier to compare them to a adult sized kid than it is an adult. and you have to recognize that even though he's holding a knife it's not as sinister as it would be if it was an adult of average developmental ability

All for the sake of power. Divide and conquer, in this case for votes.

He took the money and ran but this is kind of sad. What exactly did he think was going to happen? He thought that would just say okay sir we understand and have a nice day.

[@dizzywun1950]

People really think they can understand and plot and plan what they're going to do in the Heat of the Moment and no you can't and that moment all he saw was a bag of cash in front of him and knew all the problems that he had and saw a possible solution it was only after he did it in the adrenaline died down and he started to think what the f*** did I just do which is what happens to most people

[@Maanyaaz]

Some people are so desperate that they rationalize any possibility.

[@yesman121]

When it comes to survival some people are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter how dumb or how reckless.

[@3man659]

Sometimes people act out of pure necessity. Depending on how difficult ones situation may be and how desperate they are, ones rationale changes. Pure survival instincts kick in, pushing aside our ability to think. In cases like the money grabber, the rewards (in his eyes) outweigh the risks

Guy was playing a guitar on a train for spare change, his water was turned off and from the sounds of it he's been struggling to buy food (probably would have given any food he can afford to his kid) then he gets a bag of money dumped in front of him, not surprised he took it he probably didn't even think.

Each mental health is diffrent. Each mental health patients have a diffrent level of age and issues. Like some can be very kiddish, some is not the right age group, or last but not least think as the same age as they are. Some dont relize they got mental health and others not so much. I didnt know but I did find out I had it by family members and docters. People can be uncomfterable or dont understand mental health issues. Like a example when someone talks to themselfs. First thought they are crazy and stay away. When in reality not all of them are dangerous. Its just they way are. Anouther one would be bipolar. Usually when people hear it or see a maniac episose. They think the person is crazy. When in reality they have no control of thier emotions and just reacts. Evan being in the same mental health group thier can be a spectrum. Some grows out of it and others never get rid of it. It can be caused by evirement, genetics, etc. Its diffrent for each person who goes threw mental health, thier expriences, thier thoughts, the way it affects them.

[@kylovesart]

Honestly I know they were doing their best to show a realistic portrayal of what would happen or at least what they think should happen. But what frustrates me about the scene with Tyson is if you watch closely he wasn't raising the knife to them. He's raising his hands like they told him to and he happened to be holding the knife. I know these situations are tricky but if they hadn't immediately reacted the way they did and recognize the fact that he was trying to comply with their demands, the situation with deescalated far a quicker than it did. Part of why he got more agitated was then raising their guns, but also part of it was his confusion. He did what they said but they were still mad at him.

[@KS-xk2so]

Police are trained to deal with things a certain way. They see a knife, they react a certain way. Does it sometimes make things worse? Sure. That being said, the idea that they should instead try to ponder about whether the knife is actually a threat to them every time they see it would just lead to a lot of deaths in the end, as MOST times someone raises a weapon to them, it'll be to do violence. Law of averages. This is a great example of why a cop ISN'T who should be called to deal with something like this where a person is mentally challenged in some way. Unfortunately, our current system doesn't have a better option.
