A recent lawsuit has emerged from the family of a man fatally shot by police in the Twin Cities, alleging that officers failed to follow protocol by not dispatching a mental health crisis team during a standoff. The complaint highlights that the police did not send any mental health professionals to assist in the situation, which the family argues is a critical oversight in handling incidents involving individuals in mental health crises.
The suit contends that the absence of trained mental health staff contributed to the escalation of the standoff, ultimately leading to the tragic outcome. Family members express deep concern over the systemic issues within law enforcement responses to mental health emergencies, emphasizing that proper protocols could have potentially changed the course of events. They are seeking accountability and advocating for reforms to ensure that mental health resources are available during similar future incidents, aiming to prevent further tragedies and promote better handling of such crises by law enforcement.
