Ok, since you are opposed to APDs tactics, can you please share a detailed description of how APD should have responded? To be honest I feel like they did what they needed to do to protect the lives of the officers and they also gave him a substantial amount of time to come out. Two and a half days in fact. However, I also feel like our country is at a point where we can't resolve issues if we are not willing to hear the other side. So feel free to share you idea of a response to mentally ill people who are potentially posing a threat. All I ask is that you, in return, give me an opertunity to respond civilly if there are parts I disagree with. I also ask that if I do have parts I disagree with, you must calmly hear and consider my perspective with an open mind before responding back. Deal?
