At the end of the day a man in this day in age felt that there was no other way out than to take his own life. With the amount of shrinks and meds out there he should've had help regardless of whether he was a cop or not.
And if this story, with it being so high profile, inspires one person out there to think twice about suicide and get professional help then it is indeed an inspirational story.
All I hope is that it does raise slight awareness for mental health issues.
