[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 250635, member: 84"] Sad. But I also think they should've backed off and regrouped at a later time with family help. He didn't "threaten" anyone until they approached him, until then he was just a man grilling in the back yard. To confront someone with known paranoia without the presence of family wasn't very bright. Then they clearly overreacted to the "threat". I know hindsight is 20/20...... But even if the cop didn't know to back off......the sw should have had enough education to approach the situation correctly. Otherwise, what good are they? I watched my mother "take down" a cop twice her size in a paranoid episode because the fool was too pompous to take any uncooperation from a "crazy lady", despite his partner's urging him to back off. Lucky for Mom.....the cop with sense didn't let the situation esculate any further, and no charges were filed because the pompous cop was actually out of line. Yup. Sad all the way around. [/QUOTE]
