    Anyone calling 911 and thinking they are getting anything other than a bunch of thugs that will choatically escalate what ever situation you are in, I’m sorry.

        I know right? I mean, it was an easy choice to make. Either help the victim or help the suicide. And the cop still managed to do neither!

        It’s always nice knowing the police in America will show up five hours after a crime has been committed, accuse you of said crime, then leave while doing nothing.

        But then it’s still the police who will show up and be excited to shoot you. “Person is suicidal, so they are ready with lethal force! Lock and load!”

          Not necessarily. The hotline staff are trained to deal with it over the phone if at all possible. They do not just call the police.

            Several cities have replaced them with AI that alert the police and hang up on the caller.

              I’m not aware of this having happened anywhere. At least not with the 988 Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which I assume is the line that’s being referenced.
