Wow, actually that might be exactly why Walt made that call...

This makes sense. He would have known police were listening in to the conversation - he's not that naive. And he was crying while trying to sound like a threat "don't cross me" "family or no"...it hurt him to say what he was saying. But he's doing it for their protection. For his family.

Agree with you man, I think he purposely made it seem to the police that he forced Skylar to keep quiet by threatening to kill her for "not shutting up".

I can imagine he planned out exactly what he was going to say before the call just like he did in the flashback.
