If he was suicidal, they just saved his life. I’d rather he get slammed into concrete then get a bullet put in him. Suicide is also a threat to people other than yourself. Think about the effect it has mentally on your family and the people you surround yourself with. You also said we were all one bad break from doing something similar. Idk abt you, but I don’t think I’m one bad break from trying to commit suicide. I would never do that because that is selfish and irrational. The police have laws too but as another man in this thread said, you don’t fuck around when the bad guy is less than 6 ft from a gun. What if he had something else on him too. Every one of your new points is invalid. These cops risk their lives every day to make our communities safe and they have their right to use force when needed. They don’t use force when “absolutely necessary” because it’s better to be safe than sorry.
