what should the cops have done in this case?

you guys... you don't resist the cops. especially if you have weapons. why does it matter that the lady was in a wheelchair? do the knives not cut and/or kill if wielded from a wheelchair? they used non lethal force in every case we've discussed over the past couple days. what could the cops have done differently with this lady that didn't put them or someone else in danger??

nope.
the cops are under investigation.
i think that means something outside of the ordinary occurred.

anything that is so public involving the cops gets "investigated" nowadays.

...Within an hour of her call to 911, Delafield, a wheelchair-bound woman documented to have mental illness, was dead.

Family attorney Rick Alexander said Delafield's death could have been prevented and that there are four things that jump out at him about the case.

"One, she's in a wheelchair. Two, she's schizophrenic. Three, they're using a Taser on a person that's in a wheelchair, and then four is that they tasered her 10 times for a period of like two minutes,"....

According to a police report, one of the officers used her Taser gun nine times for a total of 160 seconds and the other officer discharged his Taser gun once for a total of no more than five seconds ....the medical examiner ruled Delafield's death a homicide.....

How were the cops supposed to know this? Are they supposed to go through people's medical records before they show up on the scene?

You know who should really go through medical and psychological records? College admissions and administration.
