If he did that in Arizona -they would have gladly shot him.

A friend's Dad was a sheriff's deputy on the EST(SWAT) team. There was a standoff, the guy was in the bathroom like the deal here, threatening suicide. The team breaks through the door, hats and bats style to find the guy holding a fork. At this point he starts stabbing himself furiously in the forehead with the fork. As far as I know, other than forking himself, he was fine.

Meth, a hell of a (funny)drug.

They should get all the discouraged workers in America to be film crews and to follow every police officer around at all times. I bet that would help clear a few things up.

I'm sorry, but crap like this happens all the time.

Suicide by cops.

Either have the guts to do it yourself or invent a suicide booth.

That is the most hilarious story I've heard in a long time.

"Investigation by the police found that alcohol and/or drugs may have factored in the incident."


I never would have guessed...

fail
//article mentions no jailarity
//I joke

Investigation by the police found that alcohol and/or drugs may have factored in the incident.

With the exception of mental illness, this should be a given. For some reason, it's farking funny to read the speculation though.

Shouldn't the headline read "Pepper spray, hospital psych evaluation and jailarity ensue" ?

/nits, let me show you how I pick them

i never have liked the word "cop" it's "police officer." have some gratitude and respect.

the 29-year-old man was charged with second-degree menacing

how do you stratify the various levels of menacing?

first-degree: goatee
second-degree: cleaver-brandishing
third-degree: violin-heavy leitmotif

With all due respect, eat a cock.

I'm forking myself right now, so I'm getting a kick out of these comments.

Suicide by police. Like centpedes in your vagina, it's more common than you think. There was a video floating around of a woman who led the police on a chase, then waved around her mobile trying to make it look like a gun from a distance. Same thing.

I think he is far more likely to end up in the hospital for mental care than prison.

I like pepper steak, i bet this guy did too.

In other news, subby apparently ran out of commas when writing the headline.

Gee, ya think?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Suicide by Cop is the greatest unused Punk band name EVER.

The cops should have shot him. That is based on my opinions, and the use of force scale that most police departments use.

//I would have, except the link took me to the Fark main page.

"Jailarity and pepper spray ensue"

In that order?

Get a grip; people respect those who earn it.

Mmmmm...incapacitating!

FTFY

I have nothing to add except that I just moved out of Poughkeepsie 2 days ago. In fact, I'm posting this from a hotel room in Iowa on my way to my new home in Colorado. Poughkeepsie sucks, never go there.
