If that were true, police could never coerce a criminal to refrain from robbing a bank or shooting someone, and courts could never coerce people to pay compensation in tort cases.

People have a right to be free of coercion if they’re minding their own business. But outside Utopia, to deal with people who knowingly and directly coerce or do damage to others, coercion seems to be unavoidable to stop them.

Of course, the vast majority of people would never consider restraining oneself from robbing or killing as “cooperation.”
