frick those pieces of shits. suicide or not, both should be charged with negligent homicide, and if not something - their actions are criminal imho.

thats pretty shitty. at least call EMS and hang out till they take the guy away. i understand a GSW to head and all, but damn thats bad.

Seemed like an easy way to rack up overtime hours.

Pretty sad that they left the guy while he was still breathing. Could have at least called 911.

This is a tough one.
I mean there's no question that the cop is a POS if he didn't help just because he was a lazy arse.
But I've always questioned whether or not we should try to stop suicidal people. If we are truly supposed to have "free will" then shouldn't we be allowed to decide when we want to check out?
I know that mental illness is a major cause of this and those folks need help. But when it comes to people dying of a terminal, slow acting disease that has them in constant excruciating pain, why should they have to suffer?
I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but it's a question worth pondering.
I know the bible says it is a sin to commit suicide and that only God can take us out. But with medical advances that we have today who's to say when we are just prolonging something that God wanted to happen?

What were they supposed to do? Shoot him again?

Law enforcement offciers’ jobs are to enforce laws.

Should’ve arrested him for destroying government property

A Colorado case in front of the SCOTUS years back stated that the police were not responsible for protecting the public.
This is definitely an example of them not providing protection.

That's fricked up.

I know this ruffles feathers every single time.
The Supreme Court has ruled in several cases between medical help and protecting people that officers are NOT required to render medical aid to a person or have not legally required to protect anyone either.
It sucks but they won’t get in trouble for that because of the different Supreme Court cases

Were they supposed to shoot the victim & finish the job?

You wanna be a bitch and kill yourself? Then do it during normal business hours. Not when it's miller time.

IMO there needs to be more discussion around the fact there was no gun there within the vicinity.

The cops then leave Rodriguez-Rivera, who is still breathing, under the tree. They do not offer any aid
First class service IMO.

Disgusting pieces of shite.. the disconnect grows much faster than the needed respect between Leo and citizens
To those hiding behind the not there duty… fine. Why no real effort to locate the gun?
