Killing the Mentally Ill: Lack of Training or do they care?

Nearly 8 million Americans suffer from a serious mental illness that "disorders their thinking," such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder - and more than half are not taking medications or receiving care.

At a time of heightened concern over police shootings, a new report estimates that people with mental illness are 16 times more likely than others to be killed by police - and one in four fatal police encounters involve someone with mental illness.
