Unfortunately, I see Chen's father's point. Whilst I understand that a crime is a crime, the US legal and health system deals those with mental disorders a pretty awful card, especially those with a low income. It's something many nations struggle with, but the United States seems to do particularly badly... Also, in this case... if the victim doesn't press charges and can genuinely explain that it was an accident, why make an arrest?

[@DrakhAutokrator]

Still, it takes a lot of guts to be bitching about the american system while being an immigrant from China. Probably old enough to remember the Cultural Revolution.

@GamerKat'71 I'd agree up until the point where she herself starts asking his visitor whether he was the one who hurt him and makes an arrest.

[@xavierr4989]

Canadian police system is a good bit messed too but the officers are doing pretty good with reasonable arrests of people. example the day that man took and van and ran multiple people over and cause a lot of mayhem and destruction but I still want to give congratulations to the officer who choose to arrest him instead of agreeing with the public to shot them dead. the police, medical, mental, etc. systems are not perfect but they have improved a lot from the past and are willingly improving for the future

[@henryviii3264]

He broke a mans arm. What if next time it isnt his therapist but a complete stranger. Things are never black and white sure, but I hate to say it but at the end of the day the law is the law, injuries of that magnitude shouldn't be excused as an accident when you do it to someone else. Mental health is a touchy subject, and the current system has flaws to be sure, but I'll be honest especially with a country as big and diverse as the USA the system is really trying it's best here man.

[@lafandenuel5605]

The spanish I remember hearing from her were syllables rhythmically memorized and on english intonation, with evident mistakes (not critizising, just pointing out, learning a new language is far from easy). Both Chen and Bradford. But Winter did a better job because he had his wife (luckiest woman) teaching him. Native Castillian here. And I'm going away now.

[@SYWPiano]

You know, the fact that she said "Ah Ba" (Dad in English) instead of "Ba Ba", shows that whoever wrote the script knows Cantonese very well. "Ah Ba" is very cultural, only people who speak Cantonese will use that, and not "Ba Ba".

[@constancelikecorn]

Normally on Cantonese movies they call dad “baba”

[@lavenderswiftie]

no, using ah ba is a casual way to address your father, as a person that speaks Cantonese, most movies and dramas use ah ba

[@PiazzaGurl]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS SHOW. None of those Cop show glamours. They show the cracks, leaks and broken part of the system and being a police officer. LAPD Being one of the worst. And Chen’s dad has a point, when someone is mentally ill, going H.A.M. on them is easier. They need help.

[@virz4432]

Same, but Lucy was still right in this one. You never know if that guy could kill someone and if she didn't arrest him whatever damage he'd cause would be on her. I mean, he harmed his own therapist FFS... the guy is a lost cause. He's lucky enough she sent him to get help in the end, but I don't think he deserved it after attacking the one person willing to help him without envolving the cops. Good riddance.

That's actually true. Every system in the world has it's flaws. The police department has the most. This is gonna sound cliche, but with great power comes great responsibility. In this case, the police doesn't care what it does. Arresting mentally ill people is ok if they need to be restricted, but they shouldn't be jailed. They should go get a therapist or to a psych ward if more serious treatment is needed.

You would find it very rare for the friends and family of the victim to be the forgiving types, yet because they are mentally challenged, they suffer no punishment? It's a very gray area indeed

[@MartinFinnerup]

The point is that they shouldn't be punished at all. Punishment is only a deterrent, and deterrents do not work if the person is not fully in control of their actions. Therefore punishment is useless and cruel. The mentally ill/challenged person should be kept away from those they can hurt, and get the help they need if possible.

@GamerKat'71 I am sorry for your cousin. But seeing the recidivism rates is concerning, because even if they go behind bars, they are more likely to commit more crimes, and cause trouble with more fights, since this is what they learn from being in prison. Also. with limited resources to start a new life when released from prison, they are not ready to join society with limited access to a job and limited access to a new career. Please during your vacation time, visit the prisons in Norway, you will surprised at how they treat their prisoners. Spoiler, they treat all prisoners like all of us. No bars, freedom to walk anywhere, except out of prison. Prisoners never fight there, and they never commit more crimes. Therefore, you sometimes need to help people find ways to not do it again (better treatment programs), not punish (in prison bars), because that is hidden assault and battery.
