To people defending the cops here, what you're arguing is that it's okay to burst into someones home who is going to kill themselves, and if they refuse to not cooperate with you even though they're clearly under mental duress, it's okay if you shoot them 11 times.

If someones uncooperative and suicidal and there's no one else there to be hurt, which the bf would've confirmed. You have absolutely no reason to forcibly intervene at all, at worst they shoot themselves (which is ridiculously a crime) and at best they don't.

Literally no reason for them to forcibly intervene unless someone elses life was in danger. This is the same reason they don't pull out spike traps on busy motorways during high speed police chases because it puts others in danger, and for no benefit.

The only reason to fear a suicide bid if you're not a friend/loved one of the person is if you're either an insurance broker, a debtor or worried they wont die and will cause extremely expensive medical bills.
