about

HOUSTON, TX --A family received more than they bargained for when they requested the help of local police in dealing with a mentally ill family member. To "defuse" a situation involving a delusional man who had locked himself in a bathroom with a knife, police kicked in the door, screamed obscenities, tased him several times, and finally shot him to death. The horrifying scene was captured through a hidden camera set up by family members who were distrustful of police.

It began as Michael Blair, a 26-year-old paranoid schizophrenic, had an emotional episode in which he picked up a knife and claimed he wanted to hurt himself. Blair took the knife and locked himself in a bathroom. Not knowing what else to do, the Blair family called 9-1-1 for assistance.

Two Fort Bend County Sheriff's deputies soon arrived. They initiated contact in the most cordial way they knew how.

"Hey man, we will kick in the door, and I don't wanna do it," one officer barked. "You want to do this the easy way. Don't make us do it the hard way."
