recapitulating that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" scene

Stupid guy with sword commits suicide by cop:

But this is how you handle the mentally unbalanced. They may be insane, they may be in the grip of forces that aren't their fault—problems they were born with or that appeared thanks to a quirk of nature—but they're still responsible for their actions, still making choices, and in cases like this, you have to put them down just as you'd put down a hangry, threatening bear that ambles into town and tries to eat the townspeople.

This video contains a second (bonus) incident as well.

  1. I don't always watch these videos, but this one got my attention for some reason. He was batshit crazy, I suppose, but his interactions with the cops didn't seem totally off the wall. His sudden deployment of the sword and charging the cops was a bit surprising, but the outcome was not. What a way to end your life.
