A long time ago (10+ yrs ago) in my job was requested at 11pm for a welfare check on a suicidal woman who was talking about OD’ing
Went to her house, no answer at the door, her blinds were wide open and she was laying mouth open in awkward position on her sofa. I knocked much much louder and no movement from her, not even a flinch
This is enough reason for me to get in deep trouble if I don’t notify police and fire, so I immediately did. Officer got on scene quickly, saw the woman on the couch, yelled and knocked, again no answer. Got on his radio and got an ok within about 1 minute to kick the door in
He kicked down the door and started shaking the woman, she still wouldn’t wake. Finally after a sternum rub she finally came to, was still trying to claim she didn’t overdose. Fire department took her to the hospital to be medically cleared just in case
Officer got on the phone, and at 11pm called a locksmith they had some sort of contract with to come to the house and I watched the guy repair her door and lock in like 15 minutes. So it was the cop’s responsibility to fix the door he broke, and he did
Apparently not here though. And these cops try to sue for “emotional distress” because some guy made a music video of how they fucked his house up. Sorry, if you’re a cop I’m sure you’ve experienced actual distress, like the holy shit I might die here kind. Being made fun of really doesn’t compare at that point
Good ole sue-happy USA, more frivolous lawsuits like the one from Alvan Braggs
