Suicide by cop is the lowest of the low.

Unhappily for all concerned, he succeeded. To force someone to participate is particularly evil.

Couldn’t pull the trigger on himself, huh?
In his next life he should try using a chainsaw!

Paid Administrative Leave for the officers should somewhat assuage their anguish.

He wasn’t threatening suicide when he pointed the handgun at the cops.

Afterward I bet they were all in the station high-5ing the officer you did the shooting.

Do you really believe that BS, or did you forget your sarcasm tag?
When a cop has to shoot and kill someone, they carry that horror with them for the rest of their lives. They’re not generally psychopaths.
Those who commit suicide by cop are selfish and cowardly.

There is a contingent of knee jerk cop haters on FR, sadly.

“Any more the cops are worse than the people they arrest.”
That statement is far too broad for me to accept.
