suicide by copy
by ML Woldman, Regular Contributor
The idea that somebody
Can commit suicide
By somebody else murdering them
Is a weird concept
Suicide by cop
Presupposes that
A cop is merely a force
Of nature
With no personal agency
Like gravity
Like gas
Like the ocean
A cop just kills
With as much culpability
As San Francisco Bay
You can’t indict the noose
You can’t convict the gun
The tool of the suicide
Is blameless
