The phrase "suicide by cop" didn't create itself out of thin air.

Well, thats usually relegated by someone who wants to die but is too scared to do it. So they find people who legally can, usually by waving an empty gun around.

But what I'm seeing is 60% of the people here in the USA are not functionally sustainable economically wise. And that is completely a fixable problem. But given how corrupted our government is, its likely not going to be fixed in the reasonable future (say, 20y).

Live in poverty, no medical, no vacation, scraping by every day on what amounts of hope? I can understand why people want out. HN people are in a massive bubble. Most of us are fine. Average folks? Nope. Rural? Nope. Inner city? Nope. Homeless? Obviously not. Underage LGBTQ people with hateful/christian families? One of the highest suicide rates.

Sure, I would absolutely rather help people through what seems to be insurmountable problems. Most of them aren't. But seriously, this country doesnt give a fuck. I'm pretty sure this country only cares about suicide at all is because it reduces lifetime tax revenue (for, primarily blowing up brown and middle eastern people).

Thankfully, 1FA is still in the USS, mostly. So sites like ://sanctionedsuicide.site, even if theyre indexed to hell and back by Google and Bing.

Id rather help people get past why they think suicide is the answer. But I also understand why someone is just tired and done.

And it's the hate victims that are one of groups I think we should be trying hardest with. Hate is an external problem, not an internal problem. The situation often can be fixed.

Yup. It's IIRC about a third where there's reason to think suicide was the intent and many others where it wasn't directly suicide but people who decide dying is better than whatever sentence likely awaits.

> Choosing to end thyself IS the penultimate "my body, my choice".

If that’s the penultimate, what’s the ultimate?
