and living in an affluent area doesn't mean you have health insurance and have access to care. If the man was living like that he probably was unemployed with little money and no insurance and had no access to care. As far as resistance to chemicals in the post above, if the man was manic, that would make sense. It takes time and regular treatment to control what might be bipolar disorder.

If you want to file for unemployment, you now have to drive 30 to 40 miles to find one. |

What you do is put a tranquilizer dart into him, not bullets! |

The neighbors had been moved out and cops should take risks - it's why they have the badge and gun |

No, I think they should be summarily fired at a minimum, and maybe do a manslaughter rap |

The only tranquilizer gas I know of is based on the anesthetic Fentanyl. |
