Which detail is commonly reported about SBC victims?

• A. Asked to be killed by LE
• B. Resist arrest
• C. Cooperate with media
• D. Asked to surrender to LE

Answer: (A)

In Suicide by Cop scenarios, a defining pattern is that the person explicitly asks to be killed by law enforcement. This reflects the motive to provoke officers into using deadly force rather than being arrested or taken into custody. Training and incident summaries often note statements like asking officers to shoot or indicating a desire to die at the hands of police, which is why this option is the best fit. While resisting arrest or trying to status-quo maneuvers around media or surrender can occur in other situations, they’re not the characteristic detail consistently highlighted in SBC reporting.
