    I mean downvote me if you want but, if you’re suicidal it’s prob like winning the lottery. No work on your part to make sure the deed completes successfully instead of leaving yourself alive and in a ton of physical pain, no bailing out at the last second because of some bullshit excuse or unforseen flaw in the plan, no having to write some pathetic fucking letter apologizing to your family, you basically got what you want completely guilt free because all the blame goes on the cop. You get to abandon your existence but now someone else handles all the details and you have a legit excuse to not be the one to traumatize your family and your death actually may do good by perhaps stopping unhinged cops that do otherwise shitty things.

      Ignoring all the other issues I might have with your point of view, they didn’t kill him. Just injured. So he has all the same problems he had before, but now with added pain and injury.

      I mean reasons for being suicidal aside. The issue at hand is that the police officer shot him, which should not have happened. And I think you’re missing that this is the point of the article.

        Anyone that uses neurodivergent as an excuse is likely not all the divergent but an asshole who like to hide behind a label.

      Suicidal here. I’d take cops bring in the bad spotlight as an extra bonus though really I don’t care what’s left behind.

      Well, suicide by cop is a thing. Likely for many of the reasons you have outlined. I know it’s a topic most people can’t relate to or aren’t comfortable with thinking about but your points are valid.

        I appreciate you for parsing my point of view with an open mind before knee jerk reacting to outrage. I do understand this channel with this topic (police brutality) is probably a harsh place to bring these points up but, meh. I speak honestly and unfiltered, I feel like everything I said is based in reality of a person in a dark place.

          I mean you called suicide notes “pathetic.” That’s not reality, that’s just mean. Your comment is unnecessary at best, enabling suicidal ideation at worst.
