Pretty serious issue dealing with my wife. Diagnosed PTSD I called because she demonstrated signs of suicidal behavior. The officers who showed up were Kilner, Yagi, Stansfied. They weren't providing me with enough information. They did do their job and she is safe going to a hospital. I wasn't informed about anything other than. "she said she thought about suicide and the ambulance would be arriving shortly. They put her in the ambulance. I sat outside my lake merdian apartment complex watching not getting emotional and once she was in the ambulance. The officers just got in their vehicles and drove off. I was right in front of them and they didn't tell me or inform me on anything about the situation. Once she was in the ambulance. Stunned as i have been through this with my mom 1 year ago and I feel very disrespected and morally and ethically wronged by the way they did not involve me. Lake Merdian apartment complex in the past has not even gotten a response unit out when dealing with domestic abuse issues concerning neighbors. I feel like living in an apartment complex from my experiences now, twice, and from workers in this complex a woman being abused by her boyfriend which statistically speaking has a high rate of injury, pyschological issues, death, and overall traumatic effects on countless parties involved. For some reason are not being treated equally by officers, in my opinion based on location and the fact its apartments. I just don't feel like its professional and its really unfair. I got a fist bump after i went to shake his hand and then they took off.
