## Resource

A Vermont family sues the state after their 55-year-old son, Scott Garvey, was shot and killed by a state trooper during a mental health crisis — the family insists the officer misidentified a drum stand as a rifle and that non-lethal options were ignored. Despite the state’s Attorney General declaring the shooting justified, the family argues the deadly confrontation was avoidable and demands accountability, highlighting a troubling pattern: all 49 fatal police shootings in Vermont since 1977 have been deemed justified. They’re seeking justice not just for Scott, but for systemic failures that left no room for reform. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
