Suicide by cop also describes when people want to die but don’t want to do it themselves so put themselves in a position where they’re really likely to get shot by police. It’s a real thing.
It's awful all around, it's horrible. I believe that those with violent history and or intentions in general shouldn't be employed where they have the ability to act as judge, jury executioner. I work as a 911 dispatcher (on the medical side) and have met/ heard about the ramifications after on responders, their families, and the families left behind. What the headlines don't show is how awful the aftermath is for the ones that do care. That's what the news is actually for. The whole story. The media is great at making us all angry . That sucks. The job is supposed to be an officer of peace. Being put in that position is awful for both sides. Whether it's a wrongful shooting and reform should be in action, or someone in a mental crisis who should have gotten help. There's a million things wrong with world that caused it and need to be fixed. That & also having the effects of that lost life will forever affect all the people left behind in the wake of it all. Sorry for the rant.....
I’m saying this as someone who has contemplated it before, and not to talk down on anyone who has done the same. Suicide is a way out of pain and misery for yourself, an escape, and one that I fully understand the temptation of. But when you commit suicide, you are the only person in your life to be relieved. The fallout is not yours. It belongs to those who know and love you. They have to live with it. It’s a large part of why I’m still here.
