It is often associated, as in murder/suicide.

Makes no difference.
The police are trained to do what they did. Some of the training makes sense, some of it is stupid. That is where the problem lies.
This kid had a death wish. He got his wish.

well you are right about one thing...our society is sick...the fact that you can be so indifferent shows how rampant that sickness is....its not your problem until it affects you personally ....that's pretty much it and that is how the majority see it....so do not take that the wrong way you are just part of the "norm" and good for you...
the fact is that for kids to feel this way in the first place shows a serious disconnect in the world we are creating

You are slightly off base.
Some things don't make a difference.
I feel bad for his family and their loss of a loved one. I am sure they feel some guilt in this too. They knew that he was suicidal and didn't insure that he was safe under a doctor's care. They could have had him involuntarily committed to a treatment facility that may have been able to prevent his suicide.
He committed suicide, and he did it via cop. Do you have any sympathy for the cops that have to live with the fact that they killed a young man because they were following their training?
Just because I don't require counseling when someone that I don't know passes away doesn't mean that I am emotionally broken.
