“You live in Tacoma. We’re in Fircrest. We don’t handle anything in Tacoma,” the officer is heard telling Perkins on the video.

“People are actively trying to hurt me though,” Perkins said. “Every time I come to the police department, they stop following me.”

The officer replied, “Have you been to any mental health professionals?”

The Washington State Patrol has been involved in 37 active investigations into highway shootings in King County, which includes Seattle, since the start of the year, which is similar to the previous two years, Capt. Ron Mead said during a press conference. Statewide, there have been 57 in 2024, he said.

1. Successful mental health care is a good hope.

Access by the public to guns and ammunition is a greater problem.

3. I know this story!

Mentally ill neighbor who rides a bike thinks drivers are trying to kill him so he rides up to the car, hits it with his hand and falls over so they think they hit him. Sometimes he swings his homemade knife at them. Cops know but won't do anything about it.
Now he has a car that he drives around all day. Good luck everyone!
Mental health in Washington is set up to protect the mentally ill from interference no matter what. Those seeking help from someone who has clearly lost their mind, do not get help. One must be injured or dead! I am not kidding.
