The parents of a 22-year-old Kiwi man killed by a sheriff’s deputy while suffering a mental health crisis will get US$19 million (NZ$30.27m) from US government state and local agencies and changes to how officers are trained, under a newly announced settlement.
There’s many great things about the US, but trigger happy cops is not one of them. This was a totally unjustified shooting. In NZ cops shoot as a last resort. What happened in the US would be almost unthinkable to occur here.
