BERKLEE BAY, Calif. — Early Friday morning, Officer Jay Softley was faced with an approaching subject holding a 12-inch knife and screaming manically that the voices in his head were telling him to kill someone. Instead of drawing his firearm and stopping the deadly threat as would be reasonable under the standard established in Graham v. Connor, Softley remembered the new training he had received only one week before and did something completely different: He closed his eyes and counted to ten.
Confused, the despondent and deranged subject turned and walked away, according to surveillance video taken from a nearby convenience store. Three hours later and two miles away, the subject attempted a home invasion robbery and was shot and killed by the homeowner.
