52-year-old Patrick Warren was killed by police during a mental health check on Jan 10 — now his family is demanding the arrest of the officer involved (warning: distressing)
Patrick Warren Sr.’s death is a prime example of why funding for police needs to be diversified into other emergency response groups - he was having a mental health crisis and was murdered by police when it shouldn’t have even been the police that were sent to deal with that

@WhiteHouse After the recent shooting of Patrick Warren Sr. I am asking @POTUS and @VP to sign an executive order providing federal funds to mental health resources. #JusticeforPatrickWarren
Thank you Attorney Lee Merritt and Patrick Warren Jr. for joining me tonight on #PoliticsNation to continue to advocate and shine a light on the unjust Texas police shooting of #PatrickWarren Sr.
Since 2015, police officers have fatally shot at least 135 unarmed Black men and women nationwide, @NPR has found. The latest one happened this month in Killeen when Patrick Warren, Sr. was fatally shot by an officer responding to a mental health call.

Patrick Warren Sr. suffered a mental health crisis on Friday.
His family called mental health professionals for support on Saturday.
When he experienced a 2nd episode his family called again for professionals but instead a cop responded & killed him on Sunday.

#PatrickWarrenSr funeral is today. He was shot to death on his front lawn by @KilleenPD officer Reynaldo Contreras during a mental health call. He was unarmed and wearing only a t-shirt and pajama bottoms.
Today we mourn. Tomorrow we fight.
Today #PatrickWarrenSr is laid to rest. He was a father, husband, friend & man of God.
His death will be a great light that will drive out the darkness of police brutality. @patneedsjustice
“... from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” -Matt 11:12
Patrick was a member of the kingdom of God. His final words were “take it by faith.”
We must.
