It is unfortunate the number if suicide cases of our Military. There should be a better psychological evaluation required as well as physicals they receive. More questioning and follow-up of their personal lives for PREVENTION..
Maybe it’s the civilians that need it? Are you military or a Veteran?I am a US Navy disabled veteran and was treated like crap working for DOD Navy. “There should be a better psychological evaluation required as well as physicals they receive.”
Amen !
Fyi smdh,
Nobody is going to help someone suicidal or depressed and less it’s family you got to be close to loved ones, welcome on the the simplest thing to save your life…. smh
My prayers go out to the Piaz family. This is so sad and it is happening way to often.
My prayers go out to his wife and hope that she is recovering well from her wounds he inflicted before leading the MSP on the chase that ended with him jumping.
is this information that was released through a police report? If so domestic violence would explain the police chase.
They need to be considerate and at least walk up the bridge before they jump instead of leaving their vehicles at the top of the bridge to block traffic
Wow…
Troll.
That is the rudest comment! You’re a miserable s*** stirrer. Shocker you had to make your post Anonymous.
Then don’t read it, I tell it like it is
Certainly your time is more precious than any human life! Let’s hope nobody your close to every inconveniences you with there tragic and untimely death!
As long as they don’t hold up traffic I’m good
Again, don’t read it if you don’t like it, I tell it like it is, you can sit in traffic for hours while someone jumps off the bridge and leaves their vehicle
