People experiencing mental health crises have been being killed by police in America
APTOPIX Police Shootings Mental Illness
The FBI tries to collect the statistics, but for the first quarter of this year it estimated that only 40% of all sworn law enforcement agencies submitted use-of-force numbers.

Advocates for people with mental illness say it’s clear they face greater risk of a police encounter resulting in their death.
“It’s really spurring this development of a crisis system, but it’s going to take years to get there,” Wesolowski said."I think we’re closer to the starting line than the finish line of reimagining our crisis response in this country.” But Sheppard said more must be done to address what he described as a"public health emergency that has existed for decades in which services and treatment are not readily available or easily accessible for those in need of mental health treatment.”
“He never did that. He never rushed him," Arcadio's mother said as she stood over the spot in the living room where her son died after being hit by four bullets. She said the family"feels betrayed because a person who is supposed to serve and protect us in a time of crisis took away my child." Arcadio’s ashes are kept in a teardrop-shaped blue urn on the mantelpiece in the family's rental house. His mother plans to have some of the remains placed in cremation necklaces for his loved ones.
