Suicide by cop

"Suicide by cop" is when someone is so sad, angry, or scared that they want to die but don't want to do it themselves. Instead, they behave in a way that will make a police officer feel like they have no other choice but to use their gun and shoot them. This is very dangerous for everyone involved, and it's important for people to get help if they are feeling this way so that they can stay safe and get the support they need.
