The family of a man shot and killed by Nanaimo RCMP are pleading for change as to how police handle people in crisis.
The mother of a man shot and killed in a police-involved shooting last July says the way police handle mental health crises needs to change.“We need to get these people help. Not confrontation,” said Sean Brown’s father Lester Brown.
While on the phone with the dispatcher, Sean Brown’s girlfriend repeatedly told the operator that he was suffering a mental health break.
