If you're a cop you're not going to second guess why would he do this you are going to take what he said as a statement of fact. Then you're going to be amp'd up alot and on edge.
Even before 9/11 if he got shot its his own fault. Ever since i was old enough to fly they have had signs up that says DO NOT JOKE ABOUT: explosives, bombs, guns, etc etc. Ok then you say i have a bomb you dont expect to be killed thats understandable. But when you have guys pointing guns at you then you gotta move real carefully. You know they are nervous. The guy should have been more careful. Mental Illness makes it unfortunate but if it was me getting shot i would be thinking as i took my last breaths. Wow that was really dumb bill.
