As an officer you see a lot of very bad things over a 20 year career. I highly doubt this one incident was the sole reason he took his own life and suicide in policing is not as uncommon as one might think. That being said I feel for all those involved including Li himself. Imagine how you would feel if after being medicated you were told what you did? I don't think a lot of people understand just how strong mental illness can effect a person. I see it all the time. According to the justice system we have in place and if monitored to make sure he is properly medicated there is no reason Li should not have the freedoms everyone else enjoys.
