let's go back in there and talk to them
cortez is that right yeah all right
[Music]
there's been a very loud public outcry
in recent years
saying that police officers are unable
to handle people with mental illness
well today's video is going to be my
response to that and my response to that
is
the people who are trained and are
supposed to be dealing with these people
with mental illness
they can't do it either
the video for today
we are gonna show
five separate incidents where at least
there was five nine one one calls made
by a local crisis center in columbus
ohio called netcare
this facility is not a lockdown facility
and they had a patient
walk out of their building
on five separate occasions
between the dates of august the 8th and
august the 9th
until finally they made their last 9-1-1
call
and they asked the officers
if you find this guy can you please take
him
somewhere else
so the video for today you're going to
get to hear those five
9-1-1 calls and you'll get to see the
body camera footage from two of the
officers who found this man and brought
him back to the facility
with all that being said i hope you
enjoy today's video
i hope you learned something
and i'll talk to you soon
