suicide by cop

Passive method of suicide by those without the guts to kill themselves. Involves entering or drawing a police response, then provoking a lethal draw of fire by either threatening with a real or fake weapon, or aggressive maneuvering towards the police officers. Life insurance policies may cover suicide-by-cop, whereas they wouldn't cover normal suicide.

Did you hear about Joe? He went out by suicide by cop.
