D.C. Cops Need Schooling on Dealing with Mentally Illnew
It's hard to say how often D.C. police officers mistreat mentally ill residents -- the police complaints office does not keep statistics on this type of case. Anecdotage is all there is, but there's enough of it to put the Office of Police Complaints on a mission to change the rules of engagement.
