That does not make sense and is inconsistent with what was reported.
If ya wanted cops to kill you, would you be playing video games just prior to this?
In addition the person on the phone with the victim said she overheard the victim tell the cops the rifle was not real just prior to the shooting.
Why would someone who wanted to be killed by cops as your suggested, say and do things that do not support this?
The woman who claims to be Crawford’s girlfriend and was on the phone with her, also claims to be the mother of: a one year old, a four month old, and claims to be pregnant with baby number three, all by Crawford. At the same time another woman who claims to be his girlfriend was there at the store, the next aisle over while he was on the phone with the “other” girlfriend. Any way you look at it this guy had problems.
