Also, people who are determined to commit suicide no-matter-what do it; those who make a spectacle about it typically WANT to be talked out of it.

I don't care.

Your narcissistic suicide charade endangers those around you.

Anybody who threatens suicide should be shot on the spot.

You'd be amazed how few people would threaten suicide after that.

I also back the cops on this. They were called because he had doused himself with gasolene.
This is a very dangerous situation for them. They had the prior hx of his past no doubt, armed robbery, prison.

Granted this man had a brain disorder and was suicidal. however, mental patients in crisis can be very strong and unpredictable. If someone is coming at me with scissors, and doesn’t stop, I would shoot. And if I shoot, I would shoot to kill..not try to shoot him in the leg, miss and have him keep coming. Cops don’t have the luxory we do sitting at a computer thinking of other options.

what were they supposed to do? Leave him there to “talk’ with the neighbors.

Preserving life and working to restore someone to mental health and dignity are good things.

Murder should not be condoned or defended simply because a government employee holds the gun.

The only being who should be cheering about situations like this is the Father of Lies.

That’s, coincidentally, a good cure for parking violation scofflaws as well.
