VIJAY, THE INDIAN COWBOY, WENT home that night and criedâfor Eddie and his siblings and the cruel hand theyâd been dealt in life.
You could say that Eddieâs case revealed the flaws in the child welfare system, and you wouldnât be wrong. But the caseworkers did have reason to investigate. You could say that it shows why the police shouldnât be involved in noncriminal matters, especially situations involving kids and mental health. Yet if Vijay and his colleagues hadnât been there, thereâs a real possibility that Eddie would have assaulted the caseworkers, resulting in injury to them and more serious criminal charges. (Since no one had been injured, a judge decided to send Eddie into a diversion program, which in Boulder County often means community service rather than jail time.) You could say that Eddieâs case proves that police reform doesnât workâbecause, despite the positive changes Mike had made to Longmont PD, the copsâ attempts at de-escalation failed. But perhaps they could have succeeded, if Eddieâs emotional state had been different that day. As bad as the outcome was, the same circumstanceâa teenager threatening to kill social workers and policeâhandled by a different department and different officers, accustomed to a different culture of policing, could have ended in tragedy.
