The water park in Kansas that killed a boy a few years back, the park, a manager, co-owner and others are facing various criminal charges.

Turns out it appears no engineers were involved in the rides dynamic engineering or slide path design, and those who decided to design and build it had no expertise in such a task.

Indeed.

The man is obviously not well and doesn't look even slightly threatening to an armed officer.

I couldn't make any sense of that, at no point would an office be in fear for their life there.

I put this one down to poor training. There's not really another explanation for him not to use less lethal force with an unarmed, and obviously hampered (by the trousers round his ankes) man here.

Maybe. But do you actually have to be trained not to shoot and kill unarmed and not-very-dangerous people?

Holy shit. I really hope this was something simple like it was a Chinese company and the description being kind of a 'lost in translation' thing, because the idea that that was deliberate is distinctly shitty.

No need to use any kind of force, just go up and talk to the guy, and get him to a place of safety. (Mental hospital for assessment)
