Shame on you. Two police officers were shot protecting the public. I can be every bit as critical as anyone about police incompetence or rash behavior,  in fact spent an hour this morning in a very different forum doing just that in a rather notorious case I expect to be revisited in the press. But here, the police had an obligation to respond. Musser was clearly a danger to himself and others and his mental state perilous. The police did two recent welfare checks on him. That's the situation often when a loved one is unwilling or unable to see someone gets the assistance they sorely need. Part of such problems nationally is that we are less likely to spend money on early intervention than on law enforcement response, and our jails are packed with the mentally ill. Carlos Tree Service certainly seems to have problems, but you're totally unwilling to hold Musser even posthumously responsible for the chaos he caused. He could have just picked up the phone to call Carlos for help.
