That’s not suicide.
Yours is one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever seen on FR. And that takes some doing.
Do you think the firemen going up the stairs when everyone else was going down on 9-11 committed suicide?
How about the passengers on Flight 93?

For a broad enough definition of suicide it certainly is; btw, it was you who left the term relatively undefined... I have been consistently using the definition “the willful surrendering or termination of one’s own life or willfully engaging in an action wherewhich the expected outcome is death and the outcome matches the expectation.” Perhaps not the dictionary definition, but a reasonable one.
The dictionary.com site defines it as:
noun
1. — the intentional taking of one’s own life.
2. — destruction of one’s own interests or prospects: Buying that house was financial suicide.
3. — a person who intentionally takes his or her own life.
verb (used without object)
4. — to commit suicide.
By the strict definition of suicide dictionary.com presents there cannot be such a thing as “suicide by cop” as that depends wholly upon the police’s actions with no respect to expected outcome.
