Believe it or not, there are police not bound to the decisions of the American Supreme Court, and their personal failings are irrelevant, because their duty to help others comes from being human, not being a cop.
Ok, in what countries do police have a duty by law to help people? And if the duty to help others comes from being human, then police are doing a fucking terrible job at fulfilling it
I don’t recognize suicide as something that falls under bodily autonomy. It’s almost always caused by mental health issues and shitty living situations.
If someone in chronic pain wants to opt for euthanasia, that’s different, and I support it. Their condition can’t be improved, and they’re making the decision with a sound mind.
If someone is suicidal, the police have a duty to protect them from themself.
Police have no duty to protect anyone. Literally. There are no laws saying police have to help anyone. Police do not exist to help anyone.
SCOTUS has actually ruled the opposite, police have no duty to protect anyone but corporate interests
One might note there are practical differences between duty, morality, and law.
And which of those 3 do the police believe in? 🤔

Belgium!
Of course, in theory, every Belgian is legally obligated to render aid to everyone in the world, because their Good Samaritan law was a bit vague.
Otherwise, maybe they’re called pigs for a reason? 🤔
Watch your mouth
Why? What about bodily autonomy?
If you’re talking about assisted suicide, that is done with a doctor’s assistance, not by setting yourself on fire.

So… bodily autonomy, but on your conditions?
Also:
I doubt that you have a source for that and I doubt there could even be a study for that for the survorship bias alone. Literally, in this case.
