"The family member told police that despite his behavior during the incident and his lack of ability to clearly communicate with officers, he did not take medications, did not have a mental health diagnosis or have a known mental illness."
is rebuked by the response of the man when the officer tried to pat him down. He was like a child calling for mama, and was OBVIOUSLY Retarded
A little more training would be in order, and the person responsible for issuing the 'statement' is either trying to cover for the crap-ass job done by the initial officer.
