This is what annoys me as a Fire/EMS provider who has responded to suicidal people who are "on the ledge". I appreciate the fact that they have something going on in their life, etc; but if they don't come down fairly quickly after being reasoned with, then to me, they're selfishly wasting the time and resources of police/fire/EMS who could be responding to other 911 calls, but are instead tied-up for hours upon hours, trying to reason with someone who won't listen to reason, and oftentimes just wants some attention to their plight. Well, once that attention is given, then react to it and utilize it; otherwise you're now just wasting everyone's time and resources.
That makes a lot of sense to me. Perhaps a dart to the neck and a net below them (kidding, kinda).
