Never call cops to solve a problem for you because then you have TWO problems.

pro tip: Whatever problem you have, just throw a molotov cocktail at it.

now you have a totally different problem!

Emerald,

The good place! Amazing show

buddascrayon,

I can’t find a single source or article about this. I think this a scare meme meant to frighten people away from using the new 988 suicide prevention hotline number.

This is a very irresponsible post that can harm a lot of people.

wafflez,

I think it was this but he gets shot by a state trooper, not the SWAT team. But SWAT members were called to try to help negociate. He had a gun and was intoxicated, which is kinda expexted with being suicidal anyways. It doesn’t show in the article him threatening anyone.

jpreston2005,

another article for this incident, guess he came to the door during crisis negotiations, cop saw him with a gun, shot him. Did you think he’d be threatening to kill himself with an eggbeater, there, 15 year vet cop Sgt Jessie Hartsock?

Emerald,

I don’t know if this claim is real or not but similar things (not involving SWAT) can happen. I suggest you check out the Safe Hotlines initiative.

translifeline.org/safe-hotlines/

If you need to use a suicide/crisis hotline, just make sure you are aware of the possibility of having police called on you, but please still reach out to a hotline if you need to.
