How much supporting evidence for my position do you need? I'd just like to know up front so I do not waste my time?
If you say none will matter, I won't.
All police get training in how to spot and deal with special needs people, who routinely break the law.
If your police dept does not they should not be on the road
You didn't answer my question. Having "a class" on dealing with the mentally ill is not being trained on how to deal with the mentally ill and there are examples all the time where it's obvious many do not know how to.
How much corroborating evidence do you require?
---------------------------------- I think that you actually need a crime Pnopf .
Is threatening to kill someone a crime? Can making a list of people you want to kill be considered a crime?
Yes, in CA:
(a) Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which will result in death or great bodily injury to another person, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out, which, on its face and under the circumstances in which it is made, is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and thereby causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety or for his or her immediate family's safety, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison.
