Detective informs family occurrence was “suicide by cop”

In a disastrously knowledgeable turn of events, a woman in Florida called the police for help in engaging with a mentally disturbed man who was threatening to kill himself with a knife. When the police showed up, they shot him dead.

“I think police should come in using other things,” Kaitlyn Lyons informed reporters following the death of her boyfriend Justin Way. “And I think they definitely need to figure out how to handle suicidal people.”

“The only person Justin threatened was himself and I honestly don’t think he wanted to die,” she stated.

Lyons also mentioned that the police who joined in the fun were toting assault rifles, and seemed like they “were going into war” when they came into the home.

The family states that a detective with St. Johns County sheriff’s department has since made inflamed statements to them about the case, stating that it signifies a “new trend in law enforcement now – suicide by cop.”

Detective Mike Smith also contended that Mr Way threatened Lyons, an allegation she rejects, and that the deputies killed Way because he declined to drop the knife, and the police felt endangered. “That’s what we do” the family states Smith explained to them.

The family additionally states that Smith wouldn’t disclose where or how many times their son was shot.

The family emphasises that Mr Way was shot while laying in bed. They state that there were no blood stains on the walls or floor close by, and that bullets were extracted from the mattress after the event.

“If Justin was coming after them with a knife, at 6-foot-4, wouldn’t there be blood splattered all over the room?” George Way, the victim’s father stated.

A police Commander, Chuck Mulligan, explained to reporters that it is SOP ( standard operating proceedure) to commission deputies armed with assault rifles to occurrences involving mentally disturbed individuals, so long as “the deputies feel that that is the appropriate weapon system to use.” Mulligan stated that only using Tasers could present a threat to the police officers.

“Whether it’s a rifle or not, in many senses, is a non-issue,” Mulligan stated. “A bullet comes out of a handgun, a bullet comes out of a rifle.”

Sadly this is not an singled out case.

There are common narratives of law enforcement relying on deadly force when coming across mentally disturbed or challenging people. Professionals have stated consternation that police are basically not trained to deal with such circumstances.
