Armed Response to Mental Health Crises: Why It’s Going Wrong | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a USA Today report on the fatal police shooting of Georgia Tech student Scott Schultz, who was experiencing a mental health crisis while holding a knife. Graham discusses the systemic failure of law enforcement to handle mental health emergencies with de-escalation tactics and non-lethal force like tasers. He shares personal reflections on mental health, PTSD, trauma, and the urgent necessity of comprehensive police reform.
