Parents of Georgia Tech student shot dead by campus police file suit.

Of Georgia Tech’s police officers, only one-third had completed the crisis intervention training, according to school records at the time.

“Schultz’s death was the result of Georgia Tech’s and the State of Georgia’s failure over time to properly train their personnel to act in such a way as to prevent the exclusion of persons such as Schultz from the safety to which all students were entitled on the campus of Georgia Tech,” the lawsuit claims.

Following the shooting, three suicide notes were found in Scout Schultz’s dorm room, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. Two years before the shooting, Schultz had received counseling following a suicide attempt, according to his father. Schultz’s actions “were consistent with a person who is experiencing a mental health crisis and were actions which a reasonable trained law enforcement officer would recognize as such,” the suit states.

Case dismissed. The parents seem to need to be getting help for their delusional crap.

he was stunningly brave, yet, bravely stunning...

do better

delete this it is well known Scout used they/them pronouns

Choices have consequences, THE END! Your son made a choice and the consequence was death. Try and support better mental health services in the future but other than that move on. Don’t blame officers for your son having a mental breakdown because he can’t decide what he should be

I know this person had a mental breakdown, but was he own anything when it happened? If the main argument is that police should’ve used a taser/pepper spray, there are a couple cases that a taser/pepper spray won’t work because the person is so high he doesn't feel anything.

Suicide by cop

I hope the university wins. Tragedy all around, but that guy was dangerous and unstable. Bean bag shotgun would have been a better option if they had one

This doesn’t happen in normal countries.

Accurate knife throwing is a thing. Drop the knife or get shot.

She's kinda not pretty

Usually door number two

You said that Schultz was intersex, non-binary, and used they/them pronouns. You put a picture of them up in front of a pride flag. Then you call Schultz “him” and “son” throughout the article. That is messed up. You should read this article:

'Schultz had a knife and dismissed the officers’ repeated appeals for him to drop the weapon.' Seems like a legit shooting

There's no excuse to shoot an unarmed person if they're not an immediate threat to anyone else. These 'officers' weren't properly trained and shouldn't of had their guns drawn in the first place.

So it was a case of suicide by police
