Man Threatens Suicide, Police Kill Him

Seems like an efficient public service

Justin Way was in bed with a knife. His girlfriend called a non-emergency number to try to get him into a hospital. Minutes later, cops shot him dead.
On May 11, Justin Way was drinking and threatening to hurt himself. His father, George Way, said his son was a recovering alcoholic and had been alcohol-free for five weeks.
“He just lost his job, and he had a setback,” he said.
Way’s live-in girlfriend, Kaitlyn Christine Lyons, said she’d caught Justin drinking a bottle of vodka, which she took away from him to pour out. She said he was drunk, lying in their bed with a large knife, saying he would hurt himself with it. She called a non-emergency number in an attempt to get her boyfriend to a local St. Augustine, Florida, hospital for help—and told them she did not feel threatened.
quote:
Minutes later, two St. Johns County Sheriff’s deputies, 26-year-old Jonas Carballosa and 32-year-old Kyle Braig, arrived at the home, armed with assault rifles, and told Kaitlyn to wait outside.
“I thought they were going into war,” she remembered thinking when she first saw the large guns. Within moments, Justin was shot dead

"Hello, Suicide Hotline?... Do you deliver?"

I wish I could say I was surprised

Cops walked in with way to much weapon, scared suicidal drunk moves hand holding knife, cop feels threatened, thirty rounds are discharged, one round hits drunk in head killing him.
At least that's what I hear in my head when I read the story.

I honestly wonder how many psychopaths are drawn to law enforcement.

A man with a weapon threatening to kill himself because he has nothing to lose wouldn't make you feel threatened?

On Facebook, Jonas Carballosa, the second deputy involved in the Justin Way shooting, once posted the following quote: “Most people respect the badge. Everyone respects the gun.”
What a fricking idiot, if true.

Jeez. I actually feel sorry for the good cops because stories like this make everyone hate the whole profession.

The police protected and served the hell out of that guy.

Why leave this part out?

George Way said the initial report he received from Detective Mike Smith detailed an incident wherein his officers said they were attacked by Justin with a knife

I wonder when she thought it was a good idea to call them to begin with.

Maybe slow down on the use of the term "recovering alcoholic." He made it five weeks dry.

I'll say. That alcohol will kill you if you are an alcoholic.
