The officer received a call about an ARMED suicidal man.

Which means that someone was such a dick as to call the police claiming he saw an ARMED man. There are neighbors who are up to no good and just look for an opportunity for such a move.

Or people can just mis-see things, happens all the time.

Normally 911 should ask what kind of weapon the person is carrying. "A toy truck! SHOOT NOW BEFORE..."

If I took a really wild guess I'd say the person who called 911 couldn't tell

Then it's not a call about an ARMED person. It's a call about a sucidal person with AN UNKNOWN OBJECT IN THEIR HAND. Some people even carry smartphones in their hands. This is a crazy world, you know.

If it gets interpreted as "armed" then that's the cop's fault. They should know better.

We don't even know if the call was about the autistic man or not. For all we know, some suicidal armed man could've been running around and sobered up and changed his mind while this whole thing was going on.

Yes, which speaks even more to my point: "unidentifiable individual with unknown object, possibly a weapon" duh. At this point it's just a thug wanting to shoot his gun at somebody. I saw a freaking leprechaun with a bazooka and he looked sad, so he must be suicidal. You know?

Not just an armed man. And ARMED SUICIDAL man. Quit leaving out words. The police received a call that there was an ARMED SUICIDAL man. Stop trying to make it sound like the police were called on the black man. They were called on the autistic man. The one running away from home with 'something' in his hands. Stop. Go away. Relearn your entire life. I don't care. Just stop talking to people who are actually trying to figure out what was going on.
