TL;DR Summary

The parents of a 22-year-old man in a mental health crisis killed by police in Colorado will receive $19m from state and local agencies as part of a settlement that also includes changes to how officers are trained. The shooting of Christian Glass prompted calls for reform in how authorities respond to people with mental health problems. The settlement is the largest for a police killing in Colorado and ranks among the top in the US. The state will create a virtual reality training scenario for the Colorado state patrol based on the shooting that will focus on de-escalation in stressful situations involving officers from different agencies.
