A MENTAL-HEALTH CRISIS DOES NOT ERASE PROPORTIONALITY. Phoenix Police says the man was suicidal and armed with a knife while officers used multiple force options. Voss finding: map distance, commands, less-lethal timing, crossfire, every officer's movement and whether containment remained possible. Possible force and disability-rights issues; investigations remain ongoing and no legal or policy conclusion is made here. Original-speed source audio preserved; agency slow motion excluded.
