Omg! That poor man. The police should have been aware that the autistic man, had just recently moved into Patuxent Commons, a building dedicated to supporting the independence of adults with disabilities. The fact that he had a knife in his hands and ignored the police's commands to put it down should not have led to his death. They could have tased him instead. I hope the family gets the answers they are seeking.
