Back in the day, folks used to say that if you needed the Cleveland Police to come, the last thing you’d want to say is that there was someone with a gun.

They would take an hour to get there.

The question boils down to whether, in a free society, police have a “duty” to protect people from themselves; more particularly, do police have a duty to mothers to protect the mother’s child from himself.

Can I sue the mom for being a rotten mother that did not stop her son’s suicide?

...suicide is a stupid and selfish choice. This kid made the choice. I'm sick of others getting blamed for suicides.

The actions of the kid and the actions of the police are separate. Just because the kid made a poor choice does not make it OK for the police to make poor choices.

I never said that it did.
