Does anyone know how to contact this man? My son committed suicide off the bay bridge two weeks ago--and a CHP officer, in full uniform barged toward my son while he was talking to some people who had stopped to speak to him. When my son saw the uniformed officer, he locked eyes on him, and jumped. I just would like to talk to him about why this officer was allowed to do this? My son was suffering and one of his fears was being arrested. Clearly, the man shouldn't have approached fully rigged like this. I don't want this to happen to another mother....

I tried killing myself a year back and trust me, I wish I had you next to me Kevin. I know in that moment, all we need is someone to understand we need someone, we need someone to understand we are in pain. I had no one with me, no parents, no love, no friends.
Kevin I stand up and bend my head in respect for you. Don't give up and I won't too.
Thank you Karmatube for the wonderful video. -

Everyday hero?!! I think not. The fact that I provide for my family, get a nutritious hot meal on the table each night, volunteer for a children's organization and DON'T lose my cool with my preschooler is an everyday hero thing. This man goes WELL above the norm - face it, most of us wouldn't stop because we probably wouldn't even SEE the person in distress. This man is NOT an everyday hero. He is something much more than that. A hand to grab, an ear to listen, a heart to have faith in. I'm very moved by this story, but I wouldn't call him "everyday hero" - unless you mean he's a hero every day. :) -

The suicidal tendency is mental disease so it requires psychiatric treatment. Persons are fortunate who save people from committing suicide. -

My friend Theo managed to get all the way over the rails two years ago December. I wager this wonderful officer was not on duty. Thank you Kevin for preventing so many people from ending their life with such a lonely leap. My passage across the Bridge will never be quite the same again. I toast your kindness, patience, and compassion. :) -

Well, as a person who has struggled with depression about my whole life. I am 23 years old and have encountered many professionals who were not understanding like the professionals in this video. It is inspiring to know their are professionals who actually do care. -

You are doing a great job of a very difficult job. As a psychiatrist who often has to deal with patients who are suicidal I know how difficult it can be. To be able to talk many of them out of it when they have reached the point of no return requires tremendous skill, patience & perseverance. The 'Kevin wouldn't give up' says it all.You are a REAL Hero, Kevin; I salute you. May we have more such Kevins in every part of the world. -
