ANOTHER UNARMED MENTALLY ILL BLACK MAN SHOT AND KILLED BY POLICE 

The shooting happened Monday afternoon in a Dekalb County apartment complex, reports the New York Times. Anthony Hill, 27, who suffered from bipolar disorder, was having an episode and was spotted partially naked outside his home. Community members tried to calm Hill down, but after fleeing from neighbors, Hill started to speak erratically and continuously jump off his second floor terrace. After Officer Robert Olsen arrived on the scene, instead of trying to subdue him, as he was trained to, he immediately shot Anthony twice in the torso, killing him. The officer was carrying both a baton and a tazer but did not use either of them. Several witnesses are giving different accounts on the incident but they all ended with a similar question: Why was it necessary to shoot the 27 year old veteran when he was clearly unarmed and of no threat? 

The answer is, it wasn’t.

Protests have already broken out and several more are in the works.
