If NYPD had a CIT program do you think the outcome would have been different? If so explain how.

Team members are to research the 1999 Gideon Bush Case from New York. Then review the facts about the case and the criminal and civil rights issues. As a team, discuss each of the various stakeholders involved with the case, such as the victim’s family, law enforcement officers involved in the shooting, and the public near the scene. Consider each of the potential conflicting views, motivations, intended outcomes, and interests. As a team, consider and answer the following questions: Where are the stakeholders in agreements? Where are the stakeholders at odds? How could the tragic death of Gideon Bush been avoided? If NYPD had a CIT program do you think the outcome would have been different? If so explain how.
