Kiwi called US police for help and they shot him

A terrible story at Stuff about 22 Christian Glass from Christchurch.

He crashed his car in Colorado and called the Police for help. He had ADHD and freaked out a but and wouldn’t leave the car when the Police arrived. After an hour they smashed his window, tasered him and then shot him five times.

He had a small knife (which he told the dispatcher about) but was no threat to anyone. He obviously needed a counsellor, but a bullet.

I am so glad I live in New Zealand where the sort of thing would be unimaginable. You have to work very hard to get the Police to shoot you in NZ – basically trying to kill them with a baseball bat.
