Parents call police for help, cops show up and kill their 18-year-old son 10:39 PM 01/05/2014
Two North Carolina parents are in shock after local police shot and killed their 18-year-old son in their own home, while they watched helplessly.
The family called police because they were worried about their son, Keith Vidal, who is schizophrenic and suffers from depression, according to local news. Vidal, armed with a small screwdriver, was apparently having a psychotic episode. Mark Wilsey, Vidal’s father, called the authorities to help deal with the situation.
An officer from the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office and another from the Boiling Spring Lakes police department showed up to the house soon after. Eventually, a third officer from the Southport police department entered the home as well, and ordered the use of tasers to subdue Vidal. According to Wilsey, Vidal was pinned on the ground by two of the officers when a third said, “we don’t have time for this,” and shot Vidal, killing him.
NEVER call the police if you are trying to help someone with mental issues, police are not trained to deal with them and will just fall back on what they know best which is force, instead call family or friends to help calm a situation, as we see their life might be at stake.

Another person who called police to help her friend found out the hard way why not to.
