What would police do if someone announced suicide and they resisted? Anonymous 2016-01-14 21:30:09 Post No. 411757 [Report]

So I want to break this into multiple questions.

If Brad Pitt tweeted "I will commit suicide in 1 week my fans, just wanted to let you know I love you"

Will police kick his door down, beat his face in and throw him in the car so he can get help?

Or maybe if it's not that exaggerated, but let' say I told people that I was going to commit suicide, and since it's illegal they try to throw me in the hospital, and I start resisting. what then?
I run away from the police, will they chase after me?

I get in my car and drive away and say I'm going to commit suicide and there's nothing they can do to stop me.
I'm now breaking the law right now? To what lengths will they go to hunt me down?
Are they willing to shoot me dead if I keep resisting arrest?

If you express a clear intent to commit suicide, you can be committed to a psychiatric hospital against your will. That doesn't mean you can troll somebody by posting from they're computer, "I'm going to kill myself!" I'm pretty sure the police would just come to your door and ask you if you wrote the post, if you were serious, if you intend to follow through, etc. If you acknowledge that you are serious about the thread, then they'll probably detain you right then and there.

I'm sure this varies from country to country, however. I've only known one person (here in the U.S.) who was detained by police because she made vague statements that suggested she was suicidal. When the police came to her door and she tried to assure them she wasn't suicidal, they detained her anyway. She had to be evaluated by a psychiatric unit, which released her after assessing that she wasn't in fact suicidal.
