pubuc the police that have let the public down because because he was a known non violent, paranoid schizophrenic. and if you read the articles about this, it is clear that the nottinghamshireommunity mental health trust do charged him not because they'd assessed him to because they'd assessed him to be better or well, but they discharged him back to the care of his gp because he wasn't in touch with them. and anybody, anybody who knows anything about treating community mental health patients , is that one of the patients, is that one of the biggest problems is they disengage and they stop taking their medication . when the their medication. when the police went into his property, they found months of unused medication. and so yet again, this is a community health trust thatis this is a community health trust that is going to tell us that lessons will be learned. and i'm afraid lessons are not being learnt. this man was a known violent schizophrenic. the community health service should never have discharged him through disengagement. >> well, you're absolutely spot on. this is the question many people are asking while why was a known mentally ill, violent person out in the
