Grief-stricken Bangladeshi community protests the fatal outcome of a confrontation with policePervin Chowdhury of Medford, president of Bangladesh Association of New England, said “Police are supposed to save lives, not kill someone,” and that if police were not held accountable for Faisal’s death the Bangladeshi community would “shut down the city.
I suspect this is yet another situation in which police did not know how to handle a mental health crisis (the kid was trying to kill himself), and thus ended in pressure and shooting.
I'm impressed by the Bangladeshi organization. This is not typical "keep your head down" immigrant stuff.
