Ga. deputies shoot/kill father as he tried to help his son

[redheadbaker]

Can't C&P from my phone. A young man in his 20s has a mental/emotional breakdown and holds a man hostage at gunpoint. Family calls the man's father, who arrives before police and diffuses the situation.

Police try to tase the young man, who teaches for the gun again. Father tries to stop his son, and police shot and kill him.

What the actual FUCK?!?

This is so sad. That poor man. His family. Oh my gosh - so awful. I feel so very sad - an innocent dad trying desperately to help his son. I would have done the same thing. Heartbreaking. I feel so awful.

This is the first I've heard of this. Heartbreaking.
