Show Notes
Advocates for John Haley, a 27-year-old autistic man from Baltimore County, demand an investigation into two police encounters that left him paralyzed. In the first incident, officers punched him during a mental health check, and in the second, they shot him multiple times during a crisis. Attorneys claim excessive force and ignored de-escalation tactics, while police defend their actions and highlight mental health training partnerships. The family endured a year of pain and surgeries, and Haley is the sole survivor of at least five county shootings in behavioral crises this year. As the shooting probe continues, the urgent need to rethink police handling of mental health calls is emphasized.
