#1 Interesting. This paragraph in the article:

Miller, who goes by the name Malik Mohammad Ali on Facebook, allegedly ambushed and shot the officers as they were responding to a disturbance call.

Is followed by this:

This Facebook post is no longer available. It may have been removed or the privacy settings of the post may have changed.

In fact, all of Miller's Facebook posts are 'unavailable'.

#3 In fact, all of Miller's Facebook posts are 'unavailable'.

A search of the name on Facebook no longer yields a hit for him, suggesting the his page was taken down.

#5 So he was COMMITTED, got out, got a gun, killed two police officers.

If this is genuine mental illness, I want to know how he got out. Involuntary commitment to this does not compute.

#6 The liberals that ran the place Miller was released from were themselves mentally ill. they couldn't tell that Miller has a mental illness as they apparently thought it was a normal state of mind.

At least that's my thought on this matter.

It's not like the old days, Charles, where once one was committed he stayed until he was deemed cured. After the asylums were closed and the laws changed to reflect civil rights concerns during the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest era, a person can only be involuntarily committed if he is deemed an imminent threat to himself or others, which as a practical matter means he is in the process of attacking someone else or has just attempted suicide, and then only until he is stabilized -- a period generally defined by the states in the U.S. as 72 hours, though it can be as short as 24. In the case of the son of a friend of mine, who had florid paranoid schizophrenia (he thought the archangel Michael was communicating with him through his laptop, that his grandmother was a zombie who was poisoning his mother, and that as he was clearly sane there was no reason to take his meds), they were not able to get him committed for longer than 72 hours until he actually stuck a knife in Grandma's back and killed her. Upon which he was promptly arrested, sat in jail for four years awaiting trial, and finally was sentenced to 10-20 years less time served -- both the pleas "innocent by reason of insanity" and "guilty but insane" leading to the same sentence in the great state of Pennsylvania.

So the retired master sergeant was no doubt given a strong antipsychotic for a few days to treat his paranoia, given a prescription to hand to his local pharmacist and direction to follow up with his therapist, and sent on his way, because that's all the law allows and anyway there are half a dozen others who urgently need each of the thirty beds in the psychiatric ward of the regular hospital.
