Obviously this guy has a serious mental health or drug issue, but will he be treated or simply incarcerated to 'lose it' another day when released. The cheaper option will be implimented.

A Jersey City man armed with a knife was arrested after threatening to kill police officers who responded to his home on a loud music complaint Tuesday evening, officials said.

Robert Regensberger, 32, of Bergen and Highland avenues, was arrested at his home at 6:46 p.m. and charged with making terroristic threats and weapons offenses, reports said.

When police arrived Regensberger yelled ?Y?all better call SWAT, cause I?m gonna kill all you cops,? before slamming his door shut, reports said. Once inside, he yelled ?Come in and I?m gonna kill all you (expletives),? reports said.

Police broke down Regensberger?s door after he was spotted on his fire escape armed with a large knife, reports said.

When the cops saw Regensberger?s hands were empty, they pulled him through the window and back into the apartment, where he was arrested after a struggle, reports said, adding that the knife was in his pocket.
