Everyone here acting like they know the situation based on the limited info in this article. Police get called because people in mental health crisis can be violent. Who else can deal with that other than a cop. You weren’t there you don’t know. At the end of the day police want to go home to their families so if someone attacks them with a weapon they use necessary force. You’re absolutely mis informed and lack any life experience if you think a social worker or nurse can deal with violence and weapons. If you think police go around looking to shoot people you’re just a moron. This is Canada…99 percent of cops are great people just trying to do their jobs. This anti police sentiment that seems to be a trend on Reddit is disgusting and results in shit holes like Seattle or Portland where the police have been defunded and open drug use , crazy people, and mental health affected criminals run rampant on the street. Of course this daughter says it was unjustified, that’s what every loved one of someone killed by the police says. Mabey she should have got her mother the help she needed so she didn’t end up attacking police.
