Guy admits he was gonna murder suicide his own son and he’s still a cop! HOW?!?!?!!!

I'm from Denmark and I know we pay a lot in taxes, but I couldn't imagine if I or someone in my family got sick and we couldn't pay for medicine or go and have treatments, so that's something I'm thankful for, I just think the dentist should be the same

There is a huge lack of mental health help! Very few halfway houses and if you have no insurance forget getting into an inpatient treatment other than a 3 day and being released with no post plan! Rural areas with high unemployment have almost no choices!

4 hours out of 6 months goes to mental health training, that's disgraceful.

Thank G0d for these unbelievable people . I suffer mental illness. It is not easy for us. To know there is some people out there that care is unimaginable.

This is heart breaking and it's even more heartbreaking that there is more help for someone with addictions than there is for mental Illnesses!! It's sad and something needs to change I think it should be the law and mandatory that all officers get training on how to detect and handle mentally ill person and their actions

My family is having to go through this with my brother, he has had a good dozen of really bad episodes over the last year. All because of meth and heroin, he does one for the high and one for the low, we've had him OD twice and cops come out and narcan him twice, one time they had to give him two doses. He won't go some where for help as much as we ask cause we're all lying to him from what he is saying and that the microphone in his ear won't stop telling him what we say about him. He thinks we plants a camera in his eye to see everything he does... I can go on. I miss him, he was the hardest worker, 16 hr a day made his way up to area manager in his facility and got fired for closing a loading door they weren't using for the day and the building was below freezing because it was open. I spent so much time with him before this, now he doesn't think any thing of us. Every now and then he seems normal for a few hours and acts normal but most of the time he's in his part of the house boarded off. He's clearly crazy, cops tell us they can see it but tell us they can't take him because he isn't willing. EMS tells us cops can take him but they don't. It's hard for him, and all of us and it kills me knowing that he is in constant fear.

It’s sad place where someone can’t get help and money is the reason they can’t. We didn’t ask for these condition to happen to us. Edit: sorry for venting. I’m tired of the world we live in.

I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my KZfaq channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤

First things first, how was officer John Bryant (spelling ?) Deemed competent to carry a firearm or stay on the police force after he had to be talked down from killing both his son and himself due to being tired of dealing with his mentally ill son? Call me crazy but something seems a bit off with that situation, I personally wouldn't be able to trust him to be able to do his job without the possibility of him becoming "tired" of dealing with whatever situation set him off and shooting both that person and himself after...

if they gave funding to the mental health system then the police wouldn't have to deal with so many cases of mental health.

videos like these should be shown to further train police officers. But i have my own mental health demons not trying to use them as a crutch if anything; but for the other people who think its fake you wont know until something happens. I'll be real, i watched my best friend from grade school commit suicide 3 days before my recent birthday...life really messes with you but i'm not going to give up. I started writing music and poetry for the simple fact. Just not being in my head and hanging out or going out for a walk or to skateboard really helps. sorry for ranting but talk to someone ANYONE. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, and all we want to do is talk to someone. That's the best life saver

I think society has required more units to deal with the growing number of persons suffering from mental health crises during the tougher time of the COVID pandemic.

It's terrible there's so few to help so many with mental problems, so sad

My heart aches for the Mom desperately trying to get real help for her son. I've been there. I'm still there. My stepdaughter was 3 years old when my husband and I married. She was diagnosed with combination ADD/ADHD and prescribed meds at 8 years old. At 11, she was admitted into an inpatient mental health facility for the first time, unfortunately it wasn't the last. By the time she was 13, she'd had multiple stays at different facilities, multiple diagnoses and been on multiple meds. At 13, she wanted to move in with her Mom. She swore that's what her problem was and that she would do better if she could just live with her Mom. By that point, she was nearly as big as me, becoming increasingly volatile, aggressive, and violent. It was almost a relief when she moved. Unfortunately, things just got worse, she began cutting, running away, became violent with her Mom, stepdad, teachers, other kids, etc. I can't count on my fingers and toes how many times she was admitted into mental health facilities from 13 to 17 years old. Once she turned 17, she began getting arrested instead of sent for evaluations. She's 18 now and has spent most of the last year and a half in jail on numerous assault charges, drug charges and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. In May, after violating her probation for the 3rd time, she was sentenced to 18 months in prison. I know that it's not going to help her. I truly don't know what will. I worry about her constantly, pray for her daily. I can't even begin to comprehend how her mind works. It's as if she has no self control at all. I fear that she'll spend her life in and out of prisons and institutions. But I pray for a miracle everyday.

Nicely done.

This is an amazingly touching documentary. Bravo to those who organized this. Hopefully this can help bring about much needed changes!

When my grand mother went koo koo for cocoa puffs she was committed to Kansas State ( Osowattamie) Hospital. After spending 3 years there, she got better and never had another meltdown.

This is such an amazing and important documentary. Thank you, KCPT

Just watching this breaks my heart real talk

I think calling the cops on the mentally ill, is the wrong thing to do. Crisis is best and they should be present, before the cops show up. I would love some feedback.

Who every this was that mad this mess I will PRAY for them

I know people retire. What if retire police, could they be considered to help with CIT? By given training and help a few hours a week? Or help a person who does the visit checking on those who need the support of such a service member? because of MH diagnosis.

I know this is an old video but the same issues persist today, if not worse. It should be mandatory that police officers have extensive training in deescalation techniques and mental illness

Kinda wonder why the narrator has a British accent, on a show about Kansas City.

The last comment about possibility the officer would relapse is not giving people with mental illnesses a chance on leading normal life.. There is always a risk a person will snap mentally for the first time and for a person to relapse as a result of certain events. But that last comment seem more like a stigma of mental illness rather than posing a real concern that the officer would relapse. I think the chances are not likely. in the beginning of the film they showed a well socially adapted person on meds that is carrying on successful daily routine.

I pray this continues and gets more help 🙏

I am a citizen of kc let me tell you they do not really care

I'm bipolar and struggle everyday and I'm on a bunch of meds..I've never had a run in with a bad cop during an episode.

Start charging clients for services through their insurance; their insurance pays for services.

7:40 How is this officer still in service?

They treat us like prisoners that’s why I hate the system

why would that police kill his own son and how did i get here

I think this particular POLICE AGENCY OF OFFICER'S ARE SO WONDERFUL TO TAKE THIS MUCH TIME TO AND FOR MENTAL HEALTH ILLNESS,ITS SIMPLY A BLESSING IF THE HUMAN SERVICES AND THE RIGHT DOCTORS SHOULD BE ON BOARD WITH THESE OFFICER'S AND THESE NICE LADY'S I'VE SEEN ON THIS PROGRAM I HOPE THE community and the local political party get the funding to keep this much needed program of mental health keeps going thanxx officers for going beyond the funding and caring I'm tired of the certain portion of the U.S. thinking every police AGENCY IS BAD OFFICER'S TO BLAME FOR ALL OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY ILLS WICTH SIMPLY ISNT TRUE BY ANY STRANDED!WHERE WOULD SOCIETY BE WITHOUT YOU MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE AND PROTECT US EACH DAY I CAN ONLY SAY THANK YOU ALL OFFICERS FOR YOUR SERVICE AROUND OUR COUNTRY IF NOONE ELSE SAYS IT I CAN THANK YOU ALL AND REMEMBER ALL LIFE MATTERES INCLUDING OUR POLICE WOMEN AND POLICEMAN LIVES MATTER AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILY ALL SHADES OF GODS HUMAN LIFE MATTERS THANK YOU TO ALL OFFICERS K.JONES 👍👌👋🥰🤗🧐🤙✌️

On the bright side, he got some help.

Sounds like Kate’s medication is not working is she can sink that low in seconds.

My friends doctor gives her a shot of her medication monthly cause she forgets to take her meds. Lately a nurse has been going to her house to administer the shot

Mental illness doesn’t cause stalking and harassment calls those are choices

Low income shud get it free Cmon world 🙄😔🙂

Police just worsen already bad situations. It's a pity nobody can just deal with mental health issues properly from the very start. People forget that not only is mental illness sad for everybody to see, it is worse to the sufferer because they can't escape from it 24 hours a day. Nobody seems to understand that when they are dealing with people who are suffering.

Big up police 💪💪🏼💪🏽👍

All this comes down to not enough funding around mental health

In the US jail is the new mental hospital .Yep that's where they put you no help for that or drug addicts.😞

Why don't they try something with mental you know mental health like they do with AAA there's probably eventually success I mean I from what I've heard people don't usually sober up the first time they go through it so AA or na or you know whatever but some kind of group sessions and kissing you end up you know with other people that have the same problems and you know so you might see somebody succeeding and that might fire you up to take your medication because you want to be there too you know they might find you know support for each other and not feel so alone and I don't know I've just always I think you know small group sessions are good for anything you know whether it be a a n a l-anon overeaters gamblers you know whatever obviously that system is successful so why don't they try it for depression and you know other mental health issues makes no sense to me whatsoever

Why does the fire truck come?

This is why states need more money to report crazy people to the NICS system. Less nuts would have firearms.

So he admits he was going to shoot his son and then himself and is still an officer, then talked about how he was helped? What about his son? He clearly needed help.

how to fix a broken system dont send police who use force to a crisis situation send actual trained officers and mental health professionals, you send a police officer who has no training things can get ugly very quickly

isn't this cherry-picking a little bit, though? Statistically, most people with mental illnesses are NOT violent or otherwise a danger to themselves or others...

Stayed at City Union Mission last year and it is an epidemic level problem that we need to admit we have and deal with.

"underfunded" = pay more taxes

These are the “SOCIALISM” topics and types of programs that Republicans, including those “love everybody, be Christ-like” religious Republicans, try voting out of office or out of politics. Though they are fine with the SOCIALISM that benefits them as in MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY. That’s a major reason our country never has and never will have a proper Mental Health force to help deal with people who suffer from these types of medical problems. But keep voting for antisocial (which is grossly exaggerated over what is actually socialism in the US) politicians and you get to keep dealing with this type of problem in your face very likely at some point in your life.

I’m confused as to why they got a Brit to narrate this like its a BBC documentary.

Kansas has best mental health facility called menningervplCe

I wish every Karen that calls the cops aren't stupid irresponsible stuff and that we have to call the cops because of their erratic nonsensical Behavior sees this video and understands what they're pulling away the cops from! Domestic abuse people murder victims kidnapping sexual abuse drugs all of the stuff that is really harmful is what the cop should be doing not coming to a scene because they see somebody videotaping on the sidewalk or somebody parked in the parking spot they wanted even though there's 100 more parking spots in the lot. I think the icing on the cake was one that I saw with the mother in the little boy the mother hurwitz harassing two people in a car calling the cops because they parked over the line a little bit and then wouldn't let the two gentlemen leave.

I was abused by cops in rochester NY.

Are bipolar drugs addictive?

Her mother is at fault here. On meds, she's prob fine .

Abandoned to the secular power's...😐🤪

For those that are Christian, there's Celebrate Recovery. It helps with mental health, along with whatever therapy you're in. I have ptsd, persistent depressive disorder, and adjustment disorder. Thanks to therapy, and Celebrate Recovery, I'm working through my childhood trauma, slowly, but surely.

Thank obama still waiting on trumps medi aid

Come on people take the dang pills and let the doctors know how you feel when taking those pills
