Unlike the Colonel, Cooper died as a result. I don't know the whole story about this but I don't think it was quite as cut and dry as you put it. I'm sure others on this list will fill in. 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.
