Looking in the dining room, we noticed all the chairs had been knocked over and the recliner in the den was upside down.

While talking to Mom, old 'Junior' (his nickname) came out of his room and walked right past us like we weren't there. He went out the front door and walked up to my locked vehicle parked at the curb and peered into the windows on both sides. I wonder now if he was hoping I had my patrol shotgun mounted between the seats. Anyway, Junior comes back in the house and again says not a word to me or my partner and walks back to his room.

I explained to his mother that she needs to get him back on his meds which he had quit taking about two days hence and prior to leaving, we checked to make sure she was comfortable with him in the house by herself. She assured us she'd be alright and as we walked to the door to say our goodbyes, she heard Junior walking down the hall from his room. As he was around the corner, we couldn't see what was going on but Mom asked, "now Junior, where did you get that?" and he suddenly walked into view with a fucking old rusty machete.

Well naturally, after having half a heart attack, Greg and I drew down on him as we backed towards the front door. Our initial plan was to just get the hell out of the house and deal with whatever we were faced with but it dawned on us that Mom had actually stepped further into the house and there was no way we were going to leave her in their with this guy - thinking what if he's going after her?

Shit, back towards the middle of the living room, putting ourselves between Junior and Mom, telling him very quietly to put the damn blade down all the while having my trigger finger staging the trigger safety on my gun. If that dude would have taken one step towards me, it would have been all over but after two or three repeated commands to put down the machete, his eyes cleared and he bent over and put it on the ground.

Fuck - that was as close I ever came to killing someone and it is a scene that frequently pops into my mind as I watch these guys deal - many times ineffectively, with mental patients. I don't know what I did differently, perhaps nothing. Chalk it up to luck but I know mental patients are the toughest to deal with because of their unpredictability. You just never know what's going to happen next and you can't take anything for granted.

Personally, I give ZERO fucks if you were or are a pig.

I'd guess that the fact he was diagnosed, and his mother had called the police because he was menacing her, and was holding a screwdriver when the cops showed up makes no difference ?
Not all schizophrenics wind up hurting people, but a lot do....... And yes I have witnessed it.
If someone is convinced that you are going to hurt them, and the only way to save yourself is to hurt them first, then that's what's going to happen.......

Maybe the cops were not trained properly to deal with people that have mental issues, I'm sure they would have done things differently in hindsight........ Bottom line is you don't hold a weapon in your hands while dealing with the police unless your looking to get shot.

Do you realize how quickly someone can close that distance? He could have been within stabbing distance is a second.

Justified ??? NO !!!!!!!! Trigger happy fools with the IQ of a pig. Oh, maybe I should have put on blackface, then it`s justified to the racists on here.

If you are arguing with someone, while holding a knife, that's very menacing at the least.

So let's look from the cops perspective-
You get a call about a person with a mental illness and possible history of violence, that is menacing his mother.
Automatically you know this is a bad situation.

When you arrive, the suspect comes outside holding a knife.

Now, why would he not leave the knife inside? Knowing the police were coming why keep holding the knife at all?

The actions of a sane, rational person?

That is the most ignorant statement I have ever seen lol...regardless of if you hate or love the police

Are cops not supposed to have fear or concern for their safety?

Yes we get it kid you hate the police, now shut up child and go and have your spaz attack elsewhere, leave the comments to the adults as you clearly have the mental age of ten at best.
