To FLL's point: The police are not going to approach a knife wielding man in a rage to within a distance close enough to use a nightstick. Unless you were there, you have no idea what threat the police faced.
It is a sad story and it is appropriate to wait for the facts to come out before making any judgement. The cameras worn by the two officers will explain a lot. In many cases police have a split second to make a decision and that decision will be analyzed for years afterwards.
Police logs obtained by News 9 Investigates show that police had been called to the Varney Point Road home five times for mental health concerns regarding Mischa since February 2022.
The police records indicate that he was in a rage at times and refused to take medications. In one call, he was described as being out of control and destroying things.
Several times, the log indicates he was taken to a hospital.
