Bodycam shows Miami-Dade police director hours before suicide attempt

[@billythekidder7182]

Psych evaluations should be done on cops every 6 months. As much as they deal with on the job and have the stresses of family life, it’s necessary (as any cop would say) for their safety as well as our own.

Oh my, a reasonable outlook! Yes, although many of the commenters on this video seem to want to place blame on the man because....well....he's a man, and therefore the villain. Yet, there is a chance that the woman was being verbally abusive to the man (she was the one intoxicated, whereas he was not).

[@Kneephry]

Nobody can possibly know the whole situation but I think going through the humiliation of being detained and handcuffed contributed to his suicidal feelings. Law enforcement interventions, while obviously necessary at times, often can only add to the stress, frustration and humiliation of a challenging situation and I think frankly we need to figure out better and calmer ways to intervene in nonviolent conflicts.

[@blurtam188]

You mean the cops can make a bad situation worse?? Noooooo
