   Apparently the documentary does interviews with police in other countries on   
   how they deal with those in 'mental crisis'.  And the reaction of one British   
   cop watching the Sammy Yatim shooting is one to watch.   
      
   A reminder that the jury is deliberating right now on Forcillo's charges of   
   second-degree murder and attempted murder.  We know how that should go . . .    
   but will it?

    We see them streaming into our homes on YouTube almost every week: lethal   
   encounters between police and the mentally ill. This film deconstructs those   
   deadly scenarios with a view to find the sweet spot - where police can be   
   trained to hold their fire   
      
   While the number of police-involved shootings per capita remained fairly   
   static between 2004- 2014, the percentage of those cases involving people in   
   mental crisis grew - now accounting for about 40% of civilian shooting deaths   
   at the hands of police.   
      
   As Canada keeps no reliable record of police shootings, documentary producer   
   Bountiful Films went through inquest records province by province to expose   
   what they believe is a very conservative tally.  (See stats below and read a   
   news story here.)

   What can Canadian police services learn from the UK?   
      
   Across the U.K. police and mental health workers are combining forces in   
   unorthodox ways to get people in crisis the help they need when an emergency   
   call comes into the police control room.
