This is a tough one....When a person wants to kill themselves alot already is going through their mind, and if he was really about to do it then well sorry but that is his choice, The officer, poor guy, now has this intentionally good action but cards dealt not in his favor because not only is that someone who wanted to leave this world already without being somewhat limited now has more of a limitations and his value of life is by far way more worst than what he started, so the lawsuit is rightfully awarded because value of life is now in a decrease because the person was not intended to harm anyone but himself and the officer made that choice of action which harmed him greatly, and really think about it, if you was to kill your life already now gotta be put on suicidal watch and now with huge limitations you would really really hate that cop cuz truly a part of that person really did die inside afterwards, but the boy should humble himself and not let that cop have any repercussions whatsoever because he now because of his PUBLIC act put this cop's life a 360 turn around all because of good intentions, so if the boy would just go back to the golden rule and do onto others as u would like them to do onto u" and laws of balance then he would be humble and see that this cop now has way more to lose because this boy now jeopardized not only the cop but his family as well and source of living
