Well, if you are a mental health professional and someone is exhibiting behavior that sends up all of the red flags you are trained to observe, then maybe it wouldn’t have been a bad idea to lock him up for three days (standard civilian time for psychiatric observation), interview him to see if he is a danger to himself or others, possibly medicate him, and possibly save lives—since that’s basically the bottom line of job definition.
