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?
