The Globe and Mail (Canada) has fascinating video of the confrontation between Toronto police and the guy who intentionally ran down and killed 10 people and injured another 15 with a rented van.
The driver's behavior is unmistakable. He has something that looks like a gun. He gets out of the van, points the gun-looking thing at the policeman, and effectively dares him to shoot. The policeman does not, they guy mimes drawing his weapon several times w/o shooting and the policeman holds fire until the driver puts it down and lies on the ground.
If you want to see reality TV of someone attempting "suicide by cop," there it is. I presume the driver had no actual gun or no ammunition but was trying to bait the cop into shooting him. That has to be the coolest cop I've ever imagined. I'd have shot that sucker in a New York minute - center body mass, probably twice.
It was an ethnic neighborhood, most of the people on the street are reported to be immigrants. Canada is going to wish they had a death penalty.
