The phrase "suicide by cops" is victim blaming. It's trying to reframe a murder as a suicide.
Cops/prison advocates: No one really wants to die. If we imprison the people who say they want to die, we're actually helping them by stopping them from doing something they'll regret!
Also cops/prison advocates: That person who was murdered by cops must have wanted to die.
