Not sure why they couldn't use a taser.

Also, rioting doesn't help and is immoral.

The hesheit demanded the cops shoot and approached with a knife. I watched the video. They should roll the tanks on any rioters.

Because they were not equipped with a taser. You can't use something you don't have.

I don't believe the police had mace either. Hopefully going forward, they will have some none lethal options when confronted with a person suffering from depression.

Looks like suicide by cop. The kid couldn't deal with his mental health issues.

Quote:
"According to a profile on the group's website, Schultz identified as nonbinary and intersex and preferred the pronouns they, them and their.

"It's tragic that as Scout was battling mental health issues that pushed them to the edge of desperation, their life was taken with a bullet rather than saved with non-lethal force," Stewart said in a statement.

The pressures of school and activism weighed on Schultz, who struggled with depression and once attempted suicide, according to Schultz's father, William Schultz and his lawyer. Schultz's father said they spent this summer at home trying to decompress.

The circumstances of Schultz's death prompted calls from campus advocacy groups for more counseling and mental health resources on campus. The need is especially great for transgender and gender nonconforming people, who statistically face higher rates of suicide and depression than the rest of the population, said Sarah Buttons, a mental health counselor board member of Georgia Safe Schools Coalition."

Close friend of mine who is British just started schooling there a few weeks ago hopefully he isn't caught up in any unnecessary drama. He should have taken his chances in the U.K IMO.
