“Advocates are calling for better training and more discipline after a Houston police officer fatally shot a mentally ill double-amputee in a wheelchair on Saturday, the third unarmed person police have shot in less than three months. ‘How difficult is it, if nothing else, to get away from someone in a wheelchair who has no weapon, has only one arm and one good leg?’ asked Arlene Kelly, co-founder of Civilians Down, a support group for victims of police violence that tracks misconduct. ‘It’s totally and completely needless. Those officers should have had that matter well in hand. The gun should have never been out of the holster.'”
