Unethical life pro tip: want to kill yourself but left something for your family? Buy a life insurance policy, call the suicide prevention hotline and wait for the cops to kill you. Isn't technically suicide, so the life insurer can't deny your family claim!!
You think the cops wouldn't mark as a suicide?
At least in Canada life insurance will still cover you committing suicide, but it has to occur 1-2 years after your plan starts.
Same with my policy in the US. Already have it seasoned past the mark, so I joke with my wife that I can make her a millionaire.
Insurance companies hate this new easy trick.
Or pay off the corner to list your death as natural causes or something.
Like my uncle did.
I kinda legit want to check the conditions of my current life insurance policies regarding suicide. Not because I want to off myself today, but because I do want to off myself if I get the stage four diagnosis or some such thing.
Usually, after 2 years suicide is covered.
I guarantee his death is listed as "suicide" in the official report.
I mean, without context it's hard to tell, but suicide by cops is a thing, some people take advantage of the trigger happiness of cops and make them kill them.
"make" them
cop drops two mags into a non-threat
HE MADE ME DO IT!
reloads for a third mag
gotta be sure
"It's coming right for us!"
This comment is elsewhere in this post with exclusively upvotes but you getting down voted for some reason lol
Can't die from suicide if you die from homicide first
Can't go to hell from suicide if someone kills you
True but unfortunately his pants were 2% elastane so he will, in fact, still be going to hell
Oh sht. The cops were the good guys all along. They're angels sent by God to take us all to heaven 🙏🙏🙏
/s (I'm going to vomit from having to type that)
Truly a big brain move by god
saved himself a quarter by not usin one of them fancy suicide booths
He reportedly yelled "killsteal"
I’m going to hell for laughing so hard at this.
Trained, qualified police doing quality police work keeping dangerous people with guns off the street, got it.
That could have been the poor man's plan all along. Suicide by cop. Local PD is just providing a free service. If only there was another way.
Never call cops to solve a problem for you because then you have TWO problems.
pro tip: Whatever problem you have, just throw a molotov cocktail at it.
now you have a totally different problem!
The good place! Amazing show
I can't find a single source or article about this. I think this a scare meme meant to frighten people away from using the new 988 suicide prevention hotline number.
This is a very irresponsible post that can harm a lot of people.
I think it was this but he gets shot by a state trooper, not the SWAT team. But SWAT members were called to try to help negociate. He had a gun and was intoxicated, which is kinda expexted with being suicidal anyways. It doesn't show in the article him threatening anyone.

another article for this incident, guess he came to the door during crisis negotiations, cop saw him with a gun, shot him. Did you think he'd be threatening to kill himself with an eggbeater, there, 15 year vet cop Sgt Jessie Hartsock?

Why the hell would you send a SWAT team to someone suicidal? O.o
Guess he called hotline saying he's gonna take someone else's life before his own?

Is this like door dash for saddies?
To anyone who's feeling down around this time of year, call 911 or 988. Nothing is better than having you around.
Edit:
I really feel strongly about this and I misworded my message. Get help if you need it.
You matter to me. I mean that with all of my heart.
Nothing is better than having you around.
I get what you're saying here, but it strikes me as funny that this sentence could also be read to mean that having nothing around is better than having you there.
Oh, wow. That's a different take that I hadn't considered. I'll be anyone's something. Even for a single comment... and that's way better than nothing.
Uhhhhhhhhh, very funny to recommend calling the police in the comments on a post about a man getting killed by the police because he called for help.
Given the context of the post, might not be the best idea
cops murder suicidal man
if youre suicidal, get thr cops involved!
I love your energy, friend. Thank you for caring about strangers. In this world, that means a lot. However, I think this advice is very region-specific. In most of America, for instance, this isn't good advice. This is closer to calling the Army than a crisis counsellor. In other places, where police have the resources to help someone in this position, this may be excellent advice.
There are probably better places to direct people for resources like this. Don't stop fighting; fight more effectively. If you can't find anything better to link people, @ me and I'll try to help

Please don't suggest that people call 911. Not in the replies to this article.
I don't know if this claim is real or not but similar things (not involving SWAT) can happen. I suggest you check out the Safe Hotlines initiative.

If you need to use a suicide/crisis hotline, just make sure you are aware of the possibility of having police called on you, but please still reach out to a hotline if you need to.
