Second article: Man Calls a Suicide Prevention Hotline SWAT Team Shows Up and Kills Him The Free Thought Project

The story of a guy who called the suicide hotline and was shot by the SWAT team. Perfect suicide, if you need one. Though it seems that the guy, in fact, wanted to handle his problems, otherwise why he would have called the hotline…
I might sound cynic in a way, but according to the second article, this is not the first case. Looks like our police need to change their occupation because what they can do perfectly is to help suiciders to end it all.
