  1. Grapeseed Anyone who's "actually" had to go through a very traumatic situation, and be asked by a news station about the events so soon, WILL understand the rollercoaster of emotions. I would also say that a man would likely try to be a bit stronger as well, because of the stupid stereotype that only "girls" or "pussies" cry. You can tell by his both his changes in vocal tones, and his "sparkling" (AKA tear filled eyes), that he was trying to make it through this interview and NOT breakdown. He kept apologizing to the anchor, and really wanted the world to remember his son in a good way. Is that really sick a bag thing? Grapeseed, if you did tomorrow, would you want your family and friends to have the last words spoken about you, to be negative ones? Most people don't, and this father wanted his son's last words to not be hurtful ones. That's "USUALLY" what people with a heart do. It's really sad that we have SO much hate in this world now. Hate towards parents who call the cops on their children because they fear for their child's behavior and only want help, HATE for a man who just lost his son and doesn't have tears following, but yet is just trying to be strong and not breakdown (but yet if he completely broke down, some internet troll would call him a pussy), etc etc. Someone ALWAYS finds or creates a negative. ALWAYS!!!! Here this father just wanted some help for his son. His son had a baseball bat and was pounding on the door, the officer feared for his life because of "Q" brandishing a "weapon" and it was serious enough that his own father didn't feel comfortable enough handling the situation on his own. This case is very sad, and I just don't understand why so many people have to be hurtful during a time like this. Yet, if this father had not called the police, who knows if the son would've attacked him (and quite possibly the other lady the father called). It's very apparent that the father had a more gentle demeanor, and his son's behavior had been scaring him recently. He was clearly not acting normal in the 911 calls either. Now to know that he was alone while making those calls and wouldn't explain what was going on, clearly speaks to his state of mind. I'm guessing he was having some sort of psychosis or mental episode (like paranoid schizophrenia), and that's why he was acting so scared/worried on the phone and wanted the police. You can't blame the police for using deadly force, when he was brandishing a bat and obviously not acting normal. I haven't watched any other footage on this case and would guess that he was most likely NOT listening to orders. Officers are NOT taught to "hopefully just injury the perp well enough that they stay down/away and can't come after you," they are taught to use deadly force. I get that a lot of people don't understand that. Some would say, "TAZE HIM!" Well, unfortunately a taser doesn't always work. All it takes is for the perp to go towards an officer who tries to just "semi-control" the situation, and the perp gets a hit in with the bat, or clocks him with his fist and knocks him out, then the perp grabs the cops gun and well.... Now you can all guess the rest. To some it sounds outlandish, but anybody who's been in law enforcement or seen training or anything like that, knows exactly what I'm talking about. If they're dumb enough to go after a cop, well... they will have to suffer the consequences of that ignorant choice. This is a very unfortunate situation, and It's very sad this happened, but I feel there's a lot of the picture that we are missing. Why did the "SON" 1st call the police... Over and over (at first I thought it was because there was already somebody there- with the title it made me think of a crooked cop out something) Why was the father so afraid to answer his door, and also chose to tell the neighbor to lock her door and not let the son in (or something along those lines). Of course the father feels terrible that this happened, and probably blames himself (and I'm sure some of you trolls will say, "WELL HE DID"), but the truth is, we really don't know what happened that night, and the best thing anyone can do is either pray for everyone involved (son, woman, father and officer), or if your not religious, send some positive vibes their way, and if you're an ignorant, spiteful troll keep your mouth shut - which I know won't happen. And I'm sure some if you trolls will comment to this post and saying nasty things to me, and that's fine. But enough with all the negativity already. The ONLY way things will ever change in this world, is when each and everyone one of us, start changing our own behaviors and stop spreading so much hurt and hate....
