Ken Buck, Weld County District Attorney, cleared the officers that shot Brian Croissant when he approached them with a knife.

It’s appearant from most related articles that Croissant was unstable and had alcohol problems.

The most unfortunate part of the article is this one:

Last November, according to the DA’s report, Croissant locked himself in a Fort Collins hotel room and threatened suicide.

“Fort Collins police didn’t shoot him then, and it was the same type of situation,” said Brian’s father, Larry Croissant. “Those officers called his family to ask how to handle him. They didn’t shoot him.”

Because of that incident, his family asked the court to commit Brian Croissant to a 45-day treatment center.
