You got to not argue with them, figure out what they're trying to accomplish and see if you can move them in a direction that is beneficial to their health. So I said, what do you want to do? And Kevin says, oh, there's a safe house. I want to spend the night in a safe house and kind of get, you know, figure it all out. I said, great.

So I took him over, checked him in, went home, breathed a sigh of relief. At least I knew he was safe. Well, he got up in the middle of the night, took off all his clothes, because when you take off your clothes, you know, you're invisible. So then he's walking down the street. But listen to what happened this time.

This time, a crisis intervention team trained officer, someone who had taken the 40-hour Memphis model course on how to recognize and help people with mental illness, That officer saw him and he rolled down his window and said, hey, buddy, not safe of you walking here around naked.

And that's when I got tasered last time. You guys tried to handcuff me and I resisted. So he goes, OK, OK, get in the back of the car. He used his discretion. He didn't handcuff him. which was very important. Then he said, what kind of music you like? And my son said, oh, I love rap music. And he said, oh, and he turned the radio to a rap station.

When they got to the hospital, my son actually shook his hand and said, this is better than a taxi ride. But he showed him compassion. He listened to him. And then he didn't leave. And when the doctor said, well, Nothing dangerous about walking around naked. It doesn't meet criteria. Because you got to understand one thing here, and then I'll get back to the story.

They're scared of people who have mental illness. But anyway, so the doctor wouldn't admit him.
