Would someone please explain why police and EMS are responding to SAVE the lives of people who are INTENTIONALLY trying to kill themselves? Seems a waste when they could be helping those who aren’t self-destructive.
I get it, but if the police have to take a person like this into protective custody, you are going to get sued for failure to act, possibly even civil rights violations.
You just can’t say no if you are summoned.
Either legalize it and give it out for free at clinics where they can die in a controlled environment or do like the Philippines and kill the dope dealers on sight.
There are significant social consequences for each, one allows people to make a choice that probably kills them, the other will start a civil war.
But the status quo isn’t working and its getting much worse, even moreso than five years ago.
