BSO reported on how Cameron's mom called the cops because she was having issues with her 13-year-old autistic son. She explained to them very clearly that he

Didnt see this one here, but maybe I missed it. Can't really recommend the video, it's about as appalling as it sounds. The article tells you all you need to know tbh.

    I don't get why the mom chanced calling the cops. I guess some people just don't believe it until it's their kid bleeding on the ground.

      Oh come the fuck on. When you say shit like this you're implying that there is at least some blame to be laid on the mother. The mother called 911 because her son was having a fucking mental health crisis and she explicitly asked for a crisis intervention officer. She relayed all the information she could, and it was the fucking cops that shot her son. So don't go throwing shade on this poor fucking woman because she's a fucking victim here too, dickhead.

        On a side note: Is there no separate number in the US for ie calling an ambulance or is that all done through 911?

            Ah, okay, that sucks, we got separate numbers. Like one is for the pigs and a separate one for the real helpers(Ambulance/Firefighters).

        The mother tells officers that her son has triggers related to law enforcement and that he has access to a BB gun or a prop weapon, but she doesn't think he has a real gun. Officers respond that they have to treat the situation as if he does possibly have a gun. During one recording, an officer can be heard expressing trepidation about trying to apprehend the boy. "If no one's in the house, no one's in danger... but he's not harming himself, I'm sorry, I'm not about to get in a shooting," the officer is heard saying.

        I read that before I posted. Sorry if it sounded harsh, but calling the cops in this situation seems like a very bad idea to me.

      White people think the cops are customer service.
