do you need some leave time?It's not that Idesire to yell "BOMB!" in an airport, it just bugs me that I can't.
All of my wacky @#$%ing comments are reserved for this website, I'm not a complete dipsh!t.
If I voiced them publicly, as a soldier, I would probably be hung. (and not the good hung either)
I wonder what you'd like the police to do when someone calls them about an armed, possibly suicidal man with a gun? Sadly, too many "suicidal" people decide that rather than just going it alone, they'd like to take someone with them.In case anyone is wondering, I am not dead. Although it was very close to my house.
Same thing I would like the police to do when somebody calls 911 to report a "man with a gun". Ask more questions, provide assistance if needed.I wonder what you'd like the police to do when someone calls them about an armed, possibly suicidal man with a gun?
I respect your opinion on this and don't disagree. But I note that most of your opinion is based on what family or friends should do (mostly NOT call the cops if someone is threatening only himself). Even then, pretty dicey walking back into a home you left several hours earlier when your SO was acting suicidal. Did he just get drunk and sleep it off and now life is good? Did he do the deed and you get to find him all over the kitchen? Or is he now distraught AND paranoid?

This is going to sound bad, but you asked. If I am sitting in my home, holding a shotgun in my mouth, I have commited no crime. Criminally speaking, there is no reason to send more men with guns to try to talk me out of it.
Suicide is a cowards way out. Like you said, if you are going to threaten it, man up and do it already. Just do it in the shower so the mess is easier to clean up. Preferably, use a clean method, like sitting in a closed garage with the car running.
Sending a bunch of trigger happy men is not going to convince the majority of dipsticks to reason. Most of these cases prove that it just agitates the situation further, and having somebody else take your life becomes the easier decision.
If I am threating suicide, and have threatened violence to others in the process, then by all means, send the men with guns. It is better that they take me out before I take my family with me. The news already has enough stories were some idiot killed his whole family before offing himself.
Bottom line is this. If you feel like your loved one is going to use a firearm tokill him or herself, disarm the person or get the hell out! Find a trusted friendto reason with the suicidal person. SWAT teams are not crisis counsellors.
These are my opinions, and mine only. You asked.
So sgt Jensen, What makes you such an expert?
you have all the answers why dont you fix it all. Its pretty easy to be an expert from behind your keyboard...
Those brave men that dealt with that situation have my admiration and respect.
No one likes the outcome. And time and time again this has played out accross the globe.
When you can do better then by all means educate the world leaders and have world peace.
But until then we all expect you barage against brave and honest men to continue.
SALT LAKE CITY -- The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office determined that a county deputy and sergeant were justified in the shooting death of George Huntzinger.
The District Attorney's Office says on Friday, June 26 Huntzinger fired multiple shots from his apartment at 1012 E. Olympus Ridge Cove.
When deputies arrived they could hear shots being fired.
Deputy Damien Gambill and Sgt. Randy Thomas took positions under a carport to monitor Huntzinger standing on a third-story balcony.
At one point Huntzinger left the balcony and reappeared with a shotgun in a stairwell leading to the ground level.
Deputy Gambill ordered Huntzinger to drop his weapon. Instead Huntzinger fired at Gambill. Gambill returned fire. Huntzinger then returned to his apartment and again went out on the balcony.
Once outside Huntzinger pointed his weapon at the deputies on the ground level. Sgt. Thomas then fired a shot, hitting Huntzinger.
The District Attorney ruled the use of deadly force was necessary to "prevent death or serious bodily injury" to the deputies or others.
WEST JORDAN -- The Salt Lake County District Attorney has cleared a South Jordan police officer for shooting and killing a man who rammed officers with his SUV.
Wade Russell Pennington led police on a chase in May when they tried to pull him over for allegedly burglarizing a business.
When Pennington got stuck in a cul-de-sac at 2408 W. Marion Drive, he drove into two police cars repeatedly and then lunged out of his SUV at an officer.
The district attorney says that officer was justified in using deadly force.
A 4,000 pound automobile is every bit as deadly as a firearm. And had he been shot while he sat in the driver seat I'd have to agree 100% with using deadly force to defend against deadly force.I still torn on this one. The story is vague, and it appears the man was unamrmed.
However, it does sound as if he was in need of some level of police brutality.
Sounds reasonable.This all said, I'm not sure what cases of police shootings have to do with lawful OC by citizens. Maybe a reminder that one ought not give police any reason to think you pose any danger to them when you are armed?

You mean Cops 1, Losers 1, right? The dude was a sex offender (for the second time..)...Michael John Taylor, who was out on bail on charges of aggravated sexual abuse of a child in North Ogden...
