In Alexandria, a 9-1-1 call prompts a welfare check on a man in mental distress--Paul Behan had lost his wife and job, and had been drinking. Paul answered the door with a rifle under his chin, and a tense standoff began. Officers pleaded to save Paul from himself-- but should they have been there in there in the first place? Being mentally unwell isn't against the law, and if no one else is in danger, should police take the risk?
