I was unstable for whatever reason yesterday and my mind decided to whir nonstop about ctb. I started thinking about ctb by cop and how I could try to carry this out.
The way I see it there are a few things that I'd need to happen, chiefly that I need body cams turned off so no one in my town would see my having a mental crisis in my final moments of life. I also don't want my parents to see it.
I'd also need to find a cop who wouldn't try to arrest me first. Now I wouldn't use a real or fake weapon, I'd just motion like I did have one.
Finally I'd love to be able to not fuck up a cop mentally from having to kill me. I know it's a high possibility, but still.
I wanted to post about this yesterday, but I wanted to write this with a clear mind so I waited till today.
I guess I just needed to let someone know about this because I certainly can't talk about it irl.

I don't think this is a good idea at all. You shouldn't bother others with your CTB actions. Cops are just working and their time shouldn't be wasted and as you said, they might just arrest you or shoot you in a leg and then you'd go to prison or a psych ward.

It's your decision but I highly recommend another method.

Unless you're black in the US that is very unlikely.

While I understand your desperation and I hope you find some hope or peace soon I truly hope you are not seriously considering this.

Actively seeking a situation where an innocent person has to make the decision and take the action for you is not acceptable in my mind.

This is a very bad idea, as there is not only no guarantee that it will succeed, and also if you fail, you would likely face a lengthy prison sentence for threatening a cop. Here is one video in one of my threads illustrating why it isn't a good idea.

https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/video-of-a-suicide-by-cop-situation.34660/

While the person did end up dying by the cop, it isn't peaceful at all, especially when the person is still conscious.

This is discouraged for the exact same reason as the train method. I understand the desperation OP but dragging someone else into it seems kinda unfair. Have you considered anything else?

I wouldnt go those route because with all going on they will tase you before shooting you. I have a friend that tried this, aim gun at cops and they tased him and he spent 30 days tied to a bed in a mental health facility. Not all cops will up and shoot . If they do it likely will not be a kill shot.

Exactly. When my friend told me this story I was like the hell? I've heard of people doing it but unless you are on a spree they aren't gonna do it. Tase or disarm shot. That's all.

Reminds me of an article that I read where the person who was suicidal called the police on himself claiming that he had seen the man with a gun. The idea being that the cop would be wary about his approach. The other idea being there would be no technical threat since as long as the man didnt come out and directly threaten the officer, but instead refused his orders the worst that would happen would be institution for a while.

It's unlikely to die this way and like other's who said before you will just end up wounded, arrested and facing a heavy sentence and possibly psych hold.

Most police shootings occur when person is about to kill another person. They have a weapon on them and obviously about to use it. Since you don't want to hurt anyone else they won't shoot you. They will talk to you and see you are just in emotional crisis and send you to psych and possibly charge you for public menace charges.

Regardless of your skin color btw.

But yes it's not a reliable suicide method.

If i had a real gun I would shoot myself in the head alone, I would never try to involve another person. The policeman's chance of trying to arrest you with as little damage as possible is 100%, as this is his job. I imagined dying this way but I would never try that.

In the US, it varies, they'll either tase you or shoot you in the head.

In Europe, police will either beat you with batons or this:

Cops don't shoot for the leg even in the most needful scenarios, there's an occasional rare case.
They talk about the femoral artery blah blah and all that but in reality a leg shot is a better way to go against a non-threatening suspect if you don't have less-lethal. A gun is a different question though. Pull that out and you're going to be lit up like Christmas.
I don't see why leg wouldn't be an option since chest wounds are much more lethal but I guess all the leg bleeding is quite inhumane.

Please don't. CTB is something you should NOT involve others in. It will most likely cause them trauma and suffering like you have. It would be cruel to even wish what I feel upon my worst enemy so I never would. I also have a friend who's dad is a cop. He had to deal with a CTB by cop case and he's never been the same.

Apparently there are times where he will just go into a blank and dazed gaze thinking about what he could have done differently while replaying the scene. It causes not just him but his family great suffering. He had to retire from being a cop as he was no longer mentally capable either.

There are so many CTB ways please don't do cop.

When in heat of moment it is easier to hit chest then it is legs. You have to factor in that legs are smaller targets that also move more then chest. Plus still have the chance of it hitting artery and etc.

I thank everyone who replied to the thread. These answers are useful for me so I have different perspectives to think about possible ways to ctb.
Between the time I posted the original thread, and this post here, we had a ctb by cop in my hometown. Police have a relationship with the mental health center here, but didn't call them out to help with a suicidal guy. This is the second time the police lit up a suicidal dude. So that happened.

In the event you have missed the past 7 months, these sorts of things have a way of fucking up many lives, far beyond those of the cop and victim....
