Officer Kevorkian?

Oak Lawn IL police responded last night to a call about a suicidal man... by shooting him.

He attempted to stab the officers when one of them tried to Taser him, police said. The second officer fired his weapon in defense, police said, striking the man who then fell to the floor.  

The police should only be used to file reports, attempting to use them as psychiatrists will almost always end up with the person you're trying to save getting injured.
