Oak forest police and officers from 16 other districts were called in. Negotiators called his home, but eventually got him on his cell phone. The chief said he never told investigators he was not inside his house.”

Did they bother to ask him if he was OK or if he needed any help?

Officers were called in from 16 districts?

Maybe they should have brought in the national guard.

If someone is suicidal, a social worker would have been appropriate.
Sending in the cops seems a guarantee of suicide by cop, whether the man wanted to live or not.

Apparently not.

Officers were called in from 16 *other* districts. Plus the Oak Forest district. Seventeen.

The only people who are positively affected by these SWAT team overreactions are the criminals themselves.

Houston, we have a problem.
