Adrian Roberts - Former Military - Gunned Down in his Prime

Last night I saw a story about an American of African Heritage who happened to be former military who was gunned down in his prime due to obsolesced enforcement practices...

It's gotten ZERO coverage,
and I think it's a Travesty of Justice.

Police were called to his home by his Old Lady for an IVC,
and he said frankly with cell phone footage,
"Get the Fuck off my property!"

...and they did - Until they came back to his house in the middle of the night to serve the IVC complaint - Mr. Roberts, who is former military, came at the police with a machete and he was shot down where he was standing.  Killed in his prime, a truly abhorrent act to treat former military with such heavy handed tactics.

I say more responsibility lay with his Old Lady taking the kids and calling police, probably, for "Terroristic Threats" than with the officers on call - honestly.
I agree, the officers were just doing their job,
and I don't condone defunding the police AT ALL =-

...but isn't it time for a change.  Why does EVERY Domestic Dispute have to be treated with the full force of the law? huh?
Can't we get nurses and social workers to take care of cases like this?

Involuntary Commitments are common,
and a former military badass isn't exactly going to be taken lightly~
Further,
why should we have this whole IVC at all -
He wasn't charged with a crime!`
why don't we have the right to deny IVC's and refuse hospital care,
under the tenets of our constitution!
It seems like we need to adjust the way we do business...

I'm not Pro-BLM,
but this former military member, who fought for our freedoms here at home,
deserved more than this...  I think there is a way!
How about semi armed social worker/police driving a hybrid of an ambulance and a cop car?
Why not?
it'd make more sense to be frank.

Adrian Roberts did not deserve to die...
Let's adjust our policies to have more empathy for the mentally ill.
It would mean a lot!

Thanks for reading,
