Deliberate indifference. If you're going to off yourself don't be a candy ass and tell everyone so they will call the police. Do it quietly and privately.Suicide is illegal I hear, but until the crime is commited I feel they have no right.

You threaten to kill yourself.
Loved one calls the police.
Police show up and leave.
You later kill yourself.
Guess who gets the blame?

Unfortunately you probably won't be on the jury. And I'm not letting someone else move into my house while I have to live under a bridge because I'll be spending the rest of my life making restitution payments to the family.As far as I'm concerned, you do for killing yourself. I never blame Person A for Person B's self-destruction.
Why?
Because it's not Person A's responsibility to protect Person B from himself. And if I'm on the jury, that's how I'll vote. I don't care how callous and indifferent Person A is.

The person threatening suicide is probably either getting ID'd (immediate detention) to the hospital or going to jail. If you're looking for another outcome don't tell anyone so they won't call the police.
If you don't want the police in your business...DO NOT CALL THEM!!!
So any thoughts on the Paramedics charges???
I'm a firefighter/EMT, and if the article is accurate, I'm with the cops on this one. The lady gave up all expecations of being delt with like an adult when she took a swing at one of the cops.

I don't know if she should be charged with a crime. I think a good ass chewing and department disciplinary action for endangering herself and possibly the rest of the crew would be fine.
So while I was reading the part about the woman refusing a trip to the hospital because she doesn't think she's crazy and her "attempt to punch an officer and then falling down and then the officer goes to taze her and gets "bumped" by the paramedic as she tries to keep the woman from getting tazed......
all I can see in my head is the UWO "Stop resisting" video......
I'd have to say, sounds kind of fishy, at no point did the officer state that the woman or the paramedic actually laid a hand on him....
I'm all for officer safety but maybe pressing charges against an EMT for 'bumping him" seems a little too much (authoritai!) for me. But, on the other hand, if the officer had knocked the EMT out of the way forcibly I would say she had it coming for getting in the way...
This is a very thin line and there are toes on both side of it from the looks of this article.
Thank you guys, this thread was more of the paramedic facing charges then it was cops tasered another person thread
What make people like that even more dangerous is they're usually looking to take someone with them.AMEN!!!!
If people wanna be cowards and kill themselves then just do it and stop being a drama queen about it. unroll some plastic out in the garage or shoot yourself in the woods. you dont even deserve a burial like a human for what your doing to others.
The cops cant just leave if they know a person has threatened themselves. I wish they could, but them the police would get blamed and thats not fair.

At least for the most part I think we can all agree the police were justified this timeAMEN!!!!
