Good grief, Meek, they talked to that guy for three hours, a job I surely wouldn't want to have. But his family shouldn't blame the police, they tried their best but that guy was determined to go and wanted to make a scene of it.

Oh, I know. And if the DMNs report is correct and accurate, it appears they don't (I hope not, anyway):

Roscoe Wright, Ronald Wright's father, said the Arlington police officers who came to his home after his son died were "professional, polite and courteous."

"They said if we have more questions, to contact them and they'll be glad to answer them," Mr. Wright said.

I have to agree. It was the suicidal person themselves that took the decision to jump. That puts a pretty low limit on whatever liability the police have here.

The really bone-headed thing the police did was try to cover up the use of the stun gun. The BS about the man being agitated by the approach of a TV station's truck was not only dishonest, it could have gotten the suicide's family angry with the TV station. That could have created a dangerous situation.
