SUICIDE BY COP

Suicide by cop is when someone wants to die by does not want to kill themselves. They put themselves in a position where the police are forced to shoot them. These incidents are extremely dangerous to police officers. They never know if the individual plans to kill them also. Because they know police will shoot back in self-defense, some suicidal people will point an empty gun at the police. Some others will have a loaded gun. They will try to kill as many police officers as possible before they die. Afterwards most officers who are involved in suicide by cop incidents, suffer emotional difficulties. They sometimes suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Sometimes individuals leave notes explaining their reasons for their actions. Even some apologize to the police officers.
