Transgender man with Asperger's shot -Carli Copell, Ped. 6

Transgender Man with Asperger's killed by Mesa, Arizona Police

This article is about about a man who was killed by police. This man was shot when he charged towards police officers with a knife. Police say at that point, "We felt as if our lives were being threatened." So they took action and shot the man. The man they shot had been diagnosed with aspergers.

Analysis: This is a tragic accident, for both sides. I can see where the officers felt as if their lives were in danger. This is something that we can't really do anything about, we can only hope that situations like these don't happen. This can relate to some of the recent police and transgenders movements in America.
