@annikaunmasked: Corey Ruiz was shot and killed by a Madison police officer this week. The investigation is still unfolding, and this video is not an attempt to determine guilt or claim that two very different encounters were the same. I’m sharing a personal experience that the news brought back to me—and the question it left me with: how often does fear become fatal because a gun is present? I was fortunate that my encounter ended without anyone being harmed. This is not safety advice, and I would never tell someone else to respond the way I did. Black lives matter. Police killings demand transparency and scrutiny. We need stronger gun control, real accountability around lethal force, and better ways to respond to crisis and danger without someone losing their life. #madisonwi

You wrote Black Lives Matter. According to that guys very, very long rap sheet, he was white. Anyway, streets of Madison are safer now. Too bad the cops let that press conference get interrupted and are letting a barricade stay

"I could feel the energy that he didn't want to hurt me" No imminent threat. It's not about the presence if a weapon, it's about an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. imminent threat needs weapon, intent, and delivery system (the ability to use the weapon) Police know that. All lives matter, even blue ones.

I would recommend that you do a ride along with multiple police officers; ask them questions about the encounters they have had. You will then understand why they have guns.

My cousin has schizophrenia. He is a homeless black man here in Madison. He can be dangerous and is in and out of jail, but he is a human being and can be kind as well. It genuinely could’ve been him that was shot and killed in the street like that, and that was one of my first thoughts when I heard what happened before Corey was identified. This whole thing has created such a divide in our city it’s just a mess😞

i also feel that seeing men and women in uniform can be inherently escalating for some people, and instill fear in them too

You have emotional intelligence. That cop didn’t. Corey should be alive.

I worked 3rd shift ALONE for many years in diff industries. If I can do it & deal w/ high ppl, weapons pulled, etc, then 4 (soon to be 5) cops, with tasers, batons & body armor sure can. What they did was unacceptable & I'm glad there are still empathetic people out here to care.

Thanks for sharing. I used to work with kids with mental health issues in Madison public schools. We had to learn how to de-escalate volatile and violent kids without resorting to excessive force

I’m also adhd autistic(n in madison) thank you for sharing, in my experience growing up in and out of the psych system for autistic self injury, I’ve gotten to know n be friends with a lot of schizophrenic ppl, they have an incredibly similar creativity and need for routine, it is neurodivergent, it’s a way a brain can process input, love em, they’re just people dealing w their own shit . Also I’m curious how your experience wrapped up?

Girl I really am so sorry you’re getting such weird and racist comments about this incident. There’s clearly 0 empathy in these people’s hearts

Absolutely ALL lives matter. But protection is necessary. Is it in the wrong hands mostly? Yes. But that shouldn’t take away from us wanting to protect our families. This is why without Jesus, we are left open and unprotected. The blood of Jesus will protect us. 🙏
