Sometimes they just to be told it's going to be Ok. That could've ended so badly, most likely with Steven in a body bag and his poor Mom crying over her son's corpse. So a huge Thank You to that Cop for caring and taking a minute to pleed with him. 🥰 Seriously. Not all cops could've/would've been so graceful to an intoxicated, violent, mentally ill guy with a firearm.

[@needsmoreboosters4264]

Fuck, man... that second kid could've been me. I did something similar my freshman year of college. I had been suicidal for close to six months. I went out on an old highway close to my school in the middle of the night and put my foot down. I didn't intend to die, and I didn't even intentionally crash. But I didn't care if I lived. I lost control doing 110 mph, slid into a ditch, and rolled multiple times. By some miracle, I made it out with nothing but scrapes and bruises. At the moment I realized what was happening, two thoughts went through my head: first, I thought of my mother. I thought that I was a disappointment, and that this would hurt her very deeply, and I felt guilty. My second thought was "That's it? This is all my life has come to?" In the days after, I began to realize how stupid what I did was, how lucky I was, and that I didn't really want to die, I just wanted to stop hurting. I got the help I needed, found meds that worked, and I'm now about to graduate college.

Get better soon, guys. Don’t let them tell you it gets easier- it doesn’t. You can get stronger though. None of us are too weak, some of us are just not strong enough. Yet. The pain is what’s supposed to happen, even if it feels wrong. Fighting it only makes it worse, and that’s unfortunately where we go wrong. If you refuse to process an emotion, it will never leave you, and turn to poison. Sounds like BS, but it’s not. It’s okay to have bad thoughts, but it’s up to you to decide if you want to do them or not. And if you don’t , you gotta find something else to do instead. That’s also a cliche, I know… It took me 30 years, and I now have things in my life that I know will always be there for me, even when I want or enjoy nothing else. Life isn’t about trying to do everything “the right way,” or “the way everyone else does.” It’s about “figuring out how to live in a way that means something to you.” I haven’t really gotten there yet, but it’s been much better than it used to be…. Maybe someday, right? Good luck, everyone. You can make a world for yourself out here- even if it starts with something as small as a candle, it’s about finding those things you love and filling your life with them. And removing the things we don’t like. Remember that, one day it’ll click, I promise.

i love police american because this police is humble and good vibes❤🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@user-wc5lw7ps6h1]

You've never been in the US or interacted with them yourself. Don't say you love them until you've done both of those.

To anyone reading this: you are important, you are loved, and you are worthy of living this life. Please reach out to anyone if you're feeling like taking your own life. Even a stranger on the street. Most people will help you if you reach out to them, I know I would.

[@inkmaster2136]

That is absolutely the most humane officer ever

[@POVDEAD]

Great work, cop that ran around the house needs some training. Buddy said watch crossfire as he put himself directly in the line of fire. GUN JAMMED, dude ran behind a WOODEN SHED. My man if they opened fire there would have been two casualties that day.

[@clangclanggarfield3362]

I hope that young man get help he needed... Head up brother 🙏🙏🙏

Depression is absolutely horrible there's so many people that truly do not understand it they think that you can just get over it so easy it's not like that I suffer from depression and I have some awful awful weeks where I can't even muster up the strength to take a shower I've lost everything I literally had everything and lost it all because I had a woman that I let mentally abused me and she literally took everything from me I'm still having a hard time recovering from it

[@justbenice7448]

Permanent solution to temporary problems. It's really sad. I hope they both got the help they needed.

[@joclovelady]

The officer was so empathetic to this young man. I hope he does ok.

[@chickurken]

Does facing criminal prosecution and paying fines convince people not to kill themselves? Even if the cops saved him in this moment his life has now become harder.

[@yacobe41]

Yeah the way this country handles mental health is a joke. If someone puts others in a dangerous position, I mean tough call, but if someone is only trying to hurt themselves, I don't see how stacking charges and putting them through the court systems while potentially adding a criminal record is going to provide any service. There's little to no therapy mandated or provided by courts and the few that is are dr*g related, so if you have mental health problems and thats what causes your run-in with the law, you're SOL, its despicable

[@sukhoifockewulf]

As it should? If you equate being held accountable for your actions and the *_real_* effects said actions have/could have on other people as a negative thing, that is a giant red flag and shows how immature and selfish you really are. Stepping up and taking ownership of your BS is just what being a baseline positive member of society entails and can only empower you to do better.

[@internetperson9351]

one shot and reload? feel like me in video games

[@PassionateWank]

That cop that shot in the first video is incompetent. Why the fuck would you take the angle directly opposite to the other cops? Of course he cant see and shoots first in the direction of the other cops

[@cyndedawson3129]

Wow this is really down to the wire!!! 🙏🏽🌌💫......

[@TOPGNBR1]

Depression sucks only GOD can truly help he saved me and he can save you as well never lose faith

[@rustynail7609]

Great editing.

[@Wood-In-My-Eye]

Listen, this second story hit me hard. Can we take a minute to talk about chemical depression. It’s a very real thing. And it’s not your fault. I’m a very happy person and joyful. Yet I have to take depression medication. And when I stop taking it. Whew it’s rough. I am chemically imbalanced. If you suffer from depression. Don’t blame yourself or your circumstances. Try to see a doctor and maybe get meds. I would almost bet my life. This is his problem as well. Life is crazy it is. It’s ok to not be ok. It’s not ok to remain that way. ❤

[@ryyy4312]

that cop that negotiated wit him is a legend
