content: I absolutely disagree. It can be homicide from the cop's perspective while still being suicide from the dead person's perspective. There are plenty of ways a person can absolutely force a cop to kill them. This is anecdotal, but a very good friend of mine was dating a girl who forced police to kill her. She called him and said she was going to call 911 and tell them she was going to kill herself, then when the police arrived she was going to pull a gun on them so they'd shoot her. And then she did exactly that. My friend raced over to her house to try to stop her, but he lived on the other side of town and it was too late when he arrived. She pulled a pistol on the police when they approached her and pointed it at one of them. He shot her in response, and she died.
