A BLACK WOMAN WHO
CALLED THE AUTHORITIES IN
SEATTLE TO REPORT A BURGLARY WAS UNFORTUNATELY VICTIMIZED BY THE
COPS AFTER SHE WAS SHOT BY THE TWO RESPONDING SEATTLE POLICE
OFFICERS.
THEY ALLEGE THE WOMAN WAS HOLDING A KNIFE AND DID HAVE
A HISTORY OF MENTAL ILLNESS, AND A HISTORY WITH THE POLICE.
LET'S
GIVE YOU THE FULL STORY.
THEY SAID SHE
HAD A MENTAL ILLNESS
THAT WAS UNFORTUNATELY GETTING
WORSE.
WHEN SHE HAD THE PREVIOUS EPISODE WITH THE COPS SHE WAS
YELLING AT THEM SAYING THEY WERE THE KKK AND THEY WERE OUT TO GET
HER.
CLEARLY THIS WOMAN WAS NOT
MENTALLY SOUND AND NEEDED TO BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER
PEOPLE.
BUT SHE WAS THE ONE WHO CALLED THE COPS TO REPORT A
SUSPECTED BURGLARY.
UNFORTUNATELY SHE WAS KILLED AS
A RESULT.
ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT SAME JUSTICE INVESTIGATION FOUND
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN SEATTLE HAD A RACIAL BIAS THAT PLAYED A
ROLE IN THE WAY THEY CARRIED OUT THEIR POLICING.
>>THIS IS ANOTHER TOUGH STORY.
SPECIFICALLY IN THIS DAY AND AGE
WHEN IT COMES TO ANOTHER BLACK AMERICAN DYING AT THE HANDS OF
POLICE.
YOU START TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE SCENARIOS YOU HAVE
PLAYED OUT.
IT CONTINUOUSLY PLAYS A ROLE AND HOW YOU
PERCEIVE THESE EVENTS.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF
COURSE THIS WOMAN HAD A WEAPON AND THERE WAS A HISTORY OF HER
NOT BEING MENTALLY STABLE.
THE OFFICERS RESPONDING WERE AWARE
BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD OF THE
ADDRESS.
THEY KNEW THIS WOMAN WAS MENTALLY UNSTABLE THEREFORE
YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE UNDERSTANDING ON HOW TO
APPROACH THIS.
IT TAKES ME BACK TO MY BIAS, WHERE IN MY COUNTRY
WE DON'T HAVE GUNS.
THERE WAS A BRILLIANT VIDEO THAT WAS OUT
LAST YEAR THAT SHOWED OFFICERS FROM THE UNITED STATES SITTING
IN FROM SCOTLAND ñ
OFTEN YOU WILL SEE SOMETHING THAT WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM.
THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH IT IS A GUN.
>>LET ME JUMP IN BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT
SOMETHING THAT I THINK NEEDS TO
BE CLARIFIED.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE ON THIS PANEL IS SAYING
THAT SHE'S JUST HOLDING A KNIFE,
IT'S
NO BIG DEAL.
HOWEVER TO MEET THAT THREAT WITH A LETHAL
WEAPON I THINK IS DISPROPORTIONATE.
I THINK THAT
IS A LEVEL OF FORCE THAT IS
UNNECESSARY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TIMES WERE COPS
USE NONLETHAL WEAPONS.
WE ALSO DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS, BUT
FAR TOO OFTEN WE COME ACROSS STORIES WHERE SOMEONE IS
COMPLETELY UNARMED OR THEY ARE ARMED WITH A KNIFE IN THE COULD
BE MET WITH A TASER.
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A THIN WOMAN AND
TWO MALE POLICE OFFICERS THAT I'M SURE COULD'VE HANDLED IT
DIFFERENTLY.
>> WE CALL ON COPS TO DO A LOT IN THIS SOCIETY.
THEY ARE NOT
JUST CALLED BATMAN AND SUPERMAN WHEN MOMENTS HAVE REACHED A
CRITICAL TIME.
AND NICE IS A LEGITIMATE WEAPON THAT THREATENS
THOSE PEACE OFFICERS.
THEY ACTUALLY GO THROUGH EXERCISES
THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
DE-ESCALATING THESE SITUATIONS.
WE KNOW YOU HAVE A TOUGH GAME,
BUT HAVING SAID THAT SOME SITUATIONS, IT WOULD SEEM MIGHT
BE EASIER TO DECODE THAN OTHERS.
AT LEAST LOOKING AT THE
SPECIFICS OF THIS SITUATION THERE HAVE TO BE LESS LETHAL
MEANS OF GETTING TOWARD A
RESOLUTION.
>>WHEN I SAY TRAINING IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT FINDING A WAY TO
DE-ESCALATE THE SITUATION WITH THE AVERAGE PERSON WHO MIGHT
POSE A THREAT.
THERE NEEDS TO BE
AN EMPHASIS ON TRAINING THOSE WHO HAVE MENTAL DISABILITIES.
A
LOT OF COPS ARE MET WITH SITUATIONS WHERE SOMEONE MIGHT
HAVE PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA.
THEY MIGHT BE ACTING IN A WAY
THAT MIGHT BE DEEMED A THREAT BUT THEY ARE NOT COGNIZANT OF
WHAT IS GOING ON.
AGAIN THE CAVEAT IS MENTIONED OVER AGAIN,
THEY DO HAVE HARD JOBS.
AT THE SAME TIME SITUATIONS LIKE THIS ñ
YOU CAN ACTUALLY AVOID MURDERING SOMEONE IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT
YOUR JOB IN A LOGICAL, RATIONAL WAY.
>>THE REASON WHY I BROUGHT UP THE STUFF BEFOREHAND IS NOT THAT
I WAS TRYING TO DOWNPLAY IT.
BUT
I AM TRYING TO DO IS ñ THE SITUATION SHOULD BE AN EXAMPLE
WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PAST AND SAY HOW WE TRY TO
DE-ESCALATE THE SITUATION SO OTHERS CAN LOOK TO IT AND TAKE
REFERENCE?
SO THAT WHEN PHILANDO CASTILE IS REACHING FOR PAPERS
IN HIS CAR YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE
YOUR LIFE IS THREATENED.
AND YOU ARE ABLE TO TRY AND OVERCOME THE
SITUATION WITHOUT KILLING
ANOTHER PERSON.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LEARN BY SIMPLY LOOKING AT
THE BEST CASE SCENARIO.
YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT AND SAY
SOMEONE DOES HAVE A WEAPON, WHAT
ARE THE STAGES I CAN GO TO?
YES WITH THIS HIGH INTENSE CLIMATE
WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH POLICING AND BLACK CITIZENS THERE IS
GOING TO BE TENSIONS AND FEAR.
THE POLICE OFFICERS SHOULD GO
THROUGH THIS TRAINING.
YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL ANY INCLINATION
TO FIRE YOUR WEAPON AS THE FIRST RESPONSE IF SOMEONE IS WALKING
AWAY.
>>OR SCOTT WALKER RUNNING AWAY.
RUNNING AWAY DOES NOT POSE AN
IMMINENT THREAT, BUT HE STILL GET SHOT IN THE BACK SEVERAL
TIMES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THE STORIES NEED TO OCCUR FOR
PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND.
THERE ISN'T AN ANTI-COP AGENDA.
COPS
ARE NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE'S?
MAINTAINING AND SAVING PEOPLE'S
LIVES.
I THINK THE VAST MAJORITY OF COPS ARE GOOD PEOPLE AND I
THINK THEY DO THEIR JOBS RESPONSIBLY TOP OF FAR TOO OFTEN
WE COME ACROSS CASES LIKE THIS
WERE SOMEONE'S LIFE DIDN'T NEED TO END.
UNFORTUNATELY IT ENDED
WITH A WOMAN WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS BEING SHOT AND KILLED.
>> AND THE LAST THING, AFTER THIS HAPPENED IT SEEMS IN THE
AFTERMATH ñ IT WILL REALLY LEAVE YOU COLD.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OF
A CONSEQUENCE TO SO MANY OF
THESE HORRIBLE STORIES THAT ANA MENTIONED DAY AFTER DAY.
IT HAS
BECOME BUSINESS AS USUAL IN AMERICA.
IT IS REALLY AN OUTLIER
WHEN YOU FIND A SITUATION WHERE THERE HAS TO BE A PRICE PAID
FOR THE KIND OF DEFAULT OF VIOLENCE WE SEE.
>> THAT IS TRUE BECAUSE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS DRAW A
LINE ON THIS AND SAY SHE HAD A WEAPON, DONE.
THAT IS WHEN IT
STARTS TO BECOME CLOUDY.
THESE CASES CONTINUOUSLY GET DISMISSED
BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO CONTEMPLATE HOW YOU CAN MAKE AN
EXCUSE FOR OFFICERS.
>>JUST LIKE WITH PHILANDO CASTILE.
