      Nine 88 is just useless my brother had a gun and was threatning to shoot himself. He was off his meds. So we call the number and police show up and he comes out with the gun pointed toward his head an the cops lit his ass up. He god knows how he survived six bullet wounds to the chest. Then he was later arrested. Because the cops had to come out there and made up a story how they were threatened. The body cam showed otherwise and the case was tossed out. So I am very wary about calling 988. I think at this point it maybe a nice idea but it relies on cops being trained to deal with a mentally unstable person. I think in time it will probably do good but at this time its not. You are better off calling the NSPL than anything else.

        Some places send medical staff with police responders to these crises and the results seem promising. Maybe if they adopt this modern approach they can avoid these terrible situations. Sorry to hear about your brother, I hope he’s doing great.

    Is being Superman or anything have that big of a curse on it where pretty much every film or tv show has had some death around it. At this point the studio probably has a chair for the grim reaper to sit in.
