KURUSHITOVSKA 20,451 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Danielle Jacobs, a 24-year-old with Asperger’s syndrome, was fatally shot by police in Arizona, according to reports Mesa police went to the home of Jacobs, who appeared in a viral video last year. In the video, Jacobs—who was known to friends as Kayden Clarke—is seen crying before a dog comes in. Police said that Jacobs charged at authorities with a knife, and they didn’t know Jacobs had Asperger’s, a high-functioning variant of autism, but the point is that he was asking for help becaue he could harm himself.

artRaver 3,188 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The here police in Arizona (well U.S. in general) are trash. There's been so many situations I've heard about where an individual with mental illnesses been killed by the police when the police could've handled the situation differently. I got pulled over early last year and literally feared for my life. What's even worse about the whole situation is they've been misgendering him the whole time on Media here. ✿ cherry blossom girl ✿ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What About Us 1,499 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I... have Asperger's. Why are they doing that? I'm bound to be next in one of those shootings, I guess. Promise I'll always be there. Promise I'll be the cure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of elderly people here too who approve of how the police handle these situations because it doesn't affect them so that doesn't make it any better since they're still a majority, ugh. ✿ cherry blossom girl ✿ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's say he was really trying to kill them with that knife. Is it "police protocol" to just kill him? That's insane. There are so many other ways to just disarm and arrest the guy. Don't policemen have tasers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego 44,165 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Jacobs’ mother Stacia told the New York Daily News that officers knew. “Before the police arrived she wasn’t posing a threat to the community at all,” Stacia said. “And the police came into her own place. They shot and killed a 24-year-old autistic, mentally ill individual whom they had been familiar with and aware of her special needs.” FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
