The issue doesn't appear to be the quality of treatment, but the fact that he's refusing it entirely.
He does.
They all tried to help and he blocked them on social media.
Man...you need to stop and think. If you're at a point where you're going to do something like hit a cop as a black man in New York City...
Look, I was annoyed at him, but at this point I don't think he's mentally okay. I think he either wants to die or has lost actual touch with reality.
He needs help. I hope he accepts it.

Why would they call his ex? Hasn't he cut her off too?
If he gets released again quickly I'm honestly thinking of calling shenanigans on the entire thing cuz its somehow struck me as suspect for a good while now.

Why the fuck did he not get arrested? He's just going to get out of that mental ward... AGAIN and this will repeat itself. At least if he was arrested he might have actually been forced into getting some form of help.
that's just how mental health care works in the USA
god bless america
I think they can press charges against him at anytime so he might still end up in jail. For Etika's sake, he better hope that they deem him mentally unwell.
It's so fuckin bad man. I have good insurance and I want to change to an "in-plan" psychologist. Have to wait 3 months.

That not-arrested-after-all video is just...
This kid's going to get himself killed while his "fans" cheer, laugh and take selfies with the corpse for good measure.

As i said in my previous posts his attitude he's pretty close to what i had to deal with my friend, and this assault just goes in line with what i'm afraid of.
At first my friend wasn't confirmed as schizophrenic, it took several months ( and lot of weird stuff) before the doctors put a name on it, Etika may suffer from something else entirely and i hope im wrong because it's something you can't come back from.
There's no easy way to diagnose that kind of illness, it's not a cold, the quicker people around him understand whats happening, the better for him.
I also have to say that some of the posts are really disgusting, it's one thing to not understand, but making stupid jokes doesn't help anyone.

Okay just stomached Keemstar enough to watch his interview with Etika. Scary stuff, though I kept laughing how he was calling Keem fat and criticizing his diet.
It's sad how sometimes people who are creative and/or entertaining lose their minds

This. The memes and jokes about it are nasty. Shit's not funny.
Disturbing comment, why should he be 'lucky'? Cops are all supposed to do their jobs without racial bias...
There's the risk, but they probably have information on him from...literally a day ago. He's not new to the system.
Yeah seriously... Some of the behavior here is weird af.
First, people deny any thought that he might be mentally ill and say he's "just doing it for attention". Then, people laugh and make stale memes.
How is it disturbing?
And yeah right to your last sentence..
folks in here making memes about someone with mental health issues? fuck outta here. come on.
you unfortunately cant help someone that isnt in state of mind where they are willing to be helped. At the very least its very hard to.
You're actually accusing the black cop of racial bias, for him to be 'lucky the cop was black' Maybe, he was just an empathetic person and doesnt do his job based on skin color...
Right.
Seems like this dude needs actual help and ya'll just in here making fun of him.
Hope none of ya'll going in etcetera complaining about mental healthcare in the US.
surely you jest

take a glance at this thread. consider the fact that those featured have done nothing wrong
then consider the fact that Etika actually did something that could have earned him a bullet.
this was the best ending we could have possibly asked for considering him pushing away his friends and beinng enabled by stupid "fans". I really hope he stays off the net after this, both as a youtuber, and as a subject.
I guess you arent joking then.
Suicidal people trying to get cops to kill them is definitely a thing.
I hope that at this point the state understands that this person is not mentally well. I would expect them to be at least that competent.
I don't want to see this guy die due to idiocy like police fearing for their lives next time he loses it.
He's going through a severe episode right now so it's not really him, but he needs to get off the internet pronto because unfortunately he's being enabled by his fan base and the trolls who keep egging him to further make a mockery of himself.
He did an interview with Keemstar (yeah I know that guy's an ass) but you can just tell something is definitely not right the second he opens his mouth, which gets even worse as he starts talking about being a god and the anti christ and then going on about potassium levels giving people sight into the future or how he should have let everyone die instead of saving humanity.
At this point if anyone doesn't think he's going through an episode and thinks this is a publicity stunt, I got no words.
These past few months on this forum has made me see that yeah this place ain't much better than GAF when it comes to certain stuff.
I was 100% "fuck this idiot" but...
No, fame seekers don't assault police in NYC, especially if they're black males.
This guy is having mental issues he can't control and doesn't understand that he's denying help. I really hope he gets help. I don't feel like I want to continue following this, though. I hope he ends up okay, but he needs help, and if he refuses it every step of the way then I know how this ends.
Maybe not past Gaf before we all moved here but even at our worst we aren't even close to the shit I've seen on modern gaf. That place has gone to complete shit.
