[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1543014, member: 18"] Suicide is really the issue. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals (of which Oklahoma is a part) in Denver has stated in legal opinion that police and fire departments have no obligation to prevent "private violence" aka suicide. They have gone so far as to say that if police/fire attempt to intervene, they become responsible for the outcome. I'm not sure how you expect someone to risk their life to help someone who doesn't want the help and tell them that they're now responsible for another person's actions. It has completely changed how we (TPD) respond to suicidal persons calls and you can expect this story to repeat itself in the future. [/QUOTE]
