Man tried to drown himself in a pool, but sues police who waited too long to help

Fijalkowski was left underwater for more than two minutes, he says in a lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Virginia on Friday, while eight police officers watched and stopped a lifeguard from jumping in to help. Police contend that the officers acted appropriately to both save him and protect the lifeguard and themselves from a disturbed person
quote:
“The police allowed me to sink before their eyes,” Fijalkowski said in an email, in Polish. “I’m glad that in the end they realized that they shouldn’t let me drown, but I don’t thank them for letting me die, clinically, before their eyes.”
quote:
He is suing because he has more than $100,000 in medical bills from the episode

I want to fight him.
But that's because of his haircut.

They should have helped him drown.

They didn’t want to let him fail is how i see it.

I know he's mentally sick and all....but what an a-hole.

I read the full story on this at another link.
This asshat has a manic episode and is trying to drag people into the pool. The police are standing back because, you know, fighting a crazy man in the deep end of the pool isn't a great idea. He finally goes under and they drag him out a short time later. He now says they should have gone in, fought him and gotten him out sooner.
I swear that the police really can't win. If they take on a crazy guy and he gets hurt, they get sued. If they stand back and the crazy guy gets hurt, they get sued. Not sure what option they have.

They should be allowed to counter sue him for not dying.

Don't think he will win but who knows...

They should'a tazed him before he went under.

If my hair-cut was that bad, I'd try to drown myself too.

Is it any wonder why so many people despise lawyers?
Posted on 4/30/18 at 2:15 pm to Hangover Haven
sounds like he needs to Ring the King
Posted on 4/30/18 at 2:31 pm to DemonKA3268
So he basically had his bluff called and is being a cry baby about it?

Isn't this the reason Bob Parr had to retire?
