The man needs help and I hope he gets it. The system, however, is set up to not treat someone who has the wherewithal to refuse it and to shun those who are unable to pay.

It is a massively complex problem with no easy answers. In his case, he has enough money and people to shelter him from his actions that he may never get real help. And someday, he will hurt someone, and/or himself, very badly.

That actually sounds like a police attempt at de-escalation.

"See, There's this guy we're trying to arrest who's refusing to come out of his home. He hasn't technically threatened anybody but we can confirm there are guns inside."

"But hey, it's not a standoff" 😕

They don’t even know if he’s in the house dude and it’s for a misdemeanor

Does the average person shut themselves in a house for a misdemeanor?

It's not so much the details of the situation as it is that Brown is unstable.

We all know Brown is unstable but this situation isn’t anything remotely crazier than other stuff he’s been doing the last several years. Reporters are making it sound like they’ve got guns pointed at each other and Brown is about to go out suicide by cop which is ridiculous

Perhaps.

But the presence of mental illness is how stories that start off with "officer so and so was there to serve a simple warrant" end with "and the suspect was pronounced dead on the scene".

Police in a case like this are wise to show restraint and be extremely careful with their words.

Yes, he should get help ... after he serves time if he's convicted of domestic battery.

EDIT:

Nevermind.

A little more than that...

Threatening to shoot someone, especially as part of a domestic dispute, is a bit more than just throwing a shoe.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
