Actually, it was pretty "cut and dried".

Cooper pulled a gun on a doctor down in the village.
Said doctor swore out a complaint.

Cooper also had - iirc - run off some people
from land that did not belong to him.

A couple of deputies went up on the mountain
(hill? whatever) trying to immitate noisy teenagers.

Cooper shot a deputy in the head. The
other deputy shot (and killed) Cooper.

Remember, Cooper was an alcoholic
and a drunk (those two do not
always go together.) It was one of
the things to listen for in his broadcasts.

I truly believe that all of his actions in the immediate past preceding his
death were - whether he acknowledged it to himself or not - designed for
"suicide by cop".

I really don't think he particularly wanted to go on living.

No matter how you dice it or slice it, it was a tragedy and a pity.

Agree . . .
Had he gotten SOME kind of help, or acknowleged his problem ( Any one of many)
he
( & the poor Deputy He Shot ) would still be alive..

Suicide by Cop

( Following A Cold Blooded Murder )

Very tragic event all around....

I don't recall he shot any cops, he actually was running to his front
door step when the special op feds came and gunned him down at his
doorstep.

Chalked another "Danger to the feds agenda" up.
