I want to preface this by saying that the purpose of this is NOT to make other members support the George Floyd protests and BLM movement. No one comes to this site for politics and I'm not intending to start a political debate nor do I judge anyone here for having a different opinion than myself.
That said, the protests going on right now would honestly be one of the most perfect "accidental" ways to die, if you support the movement. I could easily "accidently" instigate a fight with the police, which results in my "unfortunate" death. Part of why I have yet to CTB is the effect it would have on my family, and the simple fact that I don't want them to remember me as someone who struggled with her life. But if someone were to die protesting for a cause... my family would have someone to blame. They would remember me as someone who was passionate for the rights of others, and could vent their frustrations at the police for cruelly taking away my life, while never knowing what was really going on in my head. A bonus for making a final statment for something I believe in.
Death by police isn't a new concept, but the political climate here in America right now (especially where I live... it's a big, liberal city) is the perfect storm for this method.
I don't want to go in this way (I'd be too scared lol), but the thought keeps coming in my head.
What do you all think about this idea?
