It was such a strange encounter, full of contradictions. She answered the door with a lovely smile, then quickly closed it. Then opened it again with that lovely smile and made a friendly comment, then immediately slashed at him. There are those who will suggest that this is a textbook example of why mental health counselors and not cops should be sent to do these checks. But that just means that defenseless mental health counselors will get attacked. So they'd have to go with cops anyway, and the results would likely be the same. Anybody who has an easy answer hasn't thought it through.
