| Quote: The "Braveheart" star apparently tried to goad a police office into drawing his weapon and shoot by hurling anti-Semitic slurs after he was stopped for drink driving. The incident four years ago led to the steady decline of Gibson's once glittering Hollywood career and public shaming. But a close friend has revealed Gibson wasn't anti-Jewish but on a mission to die because he felt he had failed after his wife Robyn had left him. Death by cop is a popular way of suicide in the US where people deliberately provoke police offices into using their weapons. Gibson, 55, was said to be distraught at the break-up of his marriage when he returned to his Los Angeles home from filming and discovered his wife and seven children had moved out. | |

He clearly had not thought that through. How likely was it that a cop would be tempted to shoot an A list star? The consequences for the cop would have been horrendous so they would not have done it.
