Why aren't the police better trained at handling mentally ill people?

Because every case is so drastically different from the next. It would require nonstop training.
However, a little compassion now and then would be good enough...

@FormerChild Thats an incredibly broad statement, I highly doubt you've kept tabs on EVERY case
I also doubt that any two cases have been identical. No mind scars the same as another.
So what happened? You're quite upset about the subject matter

@FormerChild@FormerChild Lets see, a number of things. A friend of mine who was recently brutalized and his bitch of a future ex- wife not allowing anyone to spread awareness of what happened by having all posts made about the ordeal taken down on facebook. The fact that last year mentally disabled people made up nearly half of the people killed by the police. And with other recent cases I am incredibly livid with whats happening
@Kembe Reason enough for sure. All I can say is 'the system' needs an overhaul that it'll never get
