A South Carolina man, who survived being shot nine times by York County sheriff's deputies responding to a "wellness check" call about him being suicidal two years ago, claims in a recent lawsuit that he was talking with his mother in his pickup truck when officers approached them "like cowboys from a John Wayne movie."
The 911 caller explained to the dispatcher that Mullinax’s mother was out with him, and that their friend “had locked himself in his truck with a knife – and I say that because I don’t want him to hop out and get shot, I don’t know if that’s his plan.” The friends provided cell phone numbers for Mullinax and his mother so law enforcement could contact them.
:the-pigs: Don't worry citizen, we'll blast him well before he has to hop out. We're professionals.

This happened with another person who was in a car and afraid to come out the cops shot him, god I wish I remember the name and story.
Yeah, the pigs check wellness in the sense that Niklas Kronwall checks bodies :acab:
