Milwaukee's Mayor Cavalier Johnson tweeted, tweeted and then very quickly deleted a tweet saying, well, this whole incident, including the death of the suspect was a tragedy. It wasn't. What was a tragedy though was the fact that It looks like his life could have been saved and a police officer could have been spared a whole lot of physical and emotional pain and a lengthy, lengthy recovery. If these officers just did their jobs or if the mental health professional would have ordered an emergency psych hold, I'm not going to fault that. (56:05–1:03:04)
