It’s unfortunate nobody could 302 this guy for continually jumping into traffic.

That would be a miracle in this damn city. I had a man call my phone at 2am saying he was going to end his life. I’m a previous 911 dispatcher and I kept him on the phone for 3 hours. Text to 911, they disconnected on me twice saying “just tell him to call the suicide hotline.” Never sent me an officer to my house. I drove to 3 different districts and ultimately ended up at the mans house, which was miraculously 20 minutes away from mine, that I found his address and provided to PD to do a wellness check, and told the sergeant “I’m not leaving until you help him.” They took him immediately when they realized I was the one on the phone and if they didn’t take him, I was going to.
This city is a joke when it comes to mental health.

It's a joke when it comes to police doing fucking anything, other than getting paid a salary to do real estate on the side, or getting reinstated after violently assaulting citizens due to FOP pressure. I've never heard a story of pigs happily helping someone who asked for it, even when they presented evidence.

That’s such a frustrating story. You’re a good person.

Thank you. Frustrating isn’t the word, I didn’t get home until 630am that day. He’s the only person I ever got to meet after 3 years of both helping and losing people over the phone. In a weird way, I think it was some type of closure. I hope he’s doing well now.
