I guarantee his death is listed as “suicide” in the official report.
Task failed successfully?

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.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
“make” them
cop drops two mags into a non-thread
HE MADE ME DO IT!
reloads for a third mag
gotta be sure

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
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
True but unfortunately his pants were 2% elastane so he will, in fact, still be going to hell
idunnololz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh sht. The cops were the good guys all along. They’re angels sent by God to take us all to heaven 🙏🙏🙏

saved himself a quarter by not usin on of them fancy sucide booths
Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That is why you put the quarter on a string
notannpc@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I mean…technically the suicide was prevented.

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.

Swedish. I remember when this was on TV.
BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
buddascrayon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
wafflez@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
jpreston2005@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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?
bmsok@lemmy.world 11 months ago
To anyone who’s feeling down around this time of year, call 911 or 988. Nothing is better than having you around.
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.
bmsok@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
pixeltree@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Skates@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Please don’t suggest to people to call 911. Not in the replies to this article.
bmsok@lemmy.world 11 months ago
911 doesn’t just activate police. It activates Fire and Emergency Medical Srvices aka ambulances if your life is in danger for any reason.
Naz@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
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

Can’t you ask for an ambulance when you call the emergency line? That’s how it is in Australia.

Why the hell would you send a SWAT team to someone suicidal? O.o

Curb your Suicide
Emerald@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
translifeline.org/safe-hotlines/
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.

driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 11 months ago
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!!
Sprokes@jlai.lu 11 months ago
You think the cops wouldn’t mark as a suicide?
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Suicide by cop is a real thing.
Spaceballstheusername@lemmy.world 11 months ago
In all seriousness does the insurance still pay it if it’s suicide by cop?
PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Cops will still claim it was suicide-by-cop. Which is some top-tier copaganda, because it’s just another way of them saying “if you call us while in distress, there’s a good chance we’ll kill you then blame you for it.”
AbackDeckWARLORD@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
At least in Canada life insurance will still cover you committing suicide, but it has to occur 1-2 years after your plan starts.
EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
pulverizedcoccyx@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Insurance companies hate this new easy trick.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Or pay off the corner to list your death as natural causes or something.
Like my uncle did.
driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 11 months ago
What does that mean?
Got_Bent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 11 months ago
Usually, after 2 years suicide is covered.
Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
It’s called “Gettin’ the job done!”
Lyrl@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Or hold on for two years. At least in the US, the non-payout for suicide is only allowed the first two years of the policy.
