No you actually don't.

If someone killed him, it isn't suicide.

How the officer feels is irrelevant. "Suicide by cop" is a construction of the media. It is meaningless and an illusion.

If someone else kills you, it isn't suicide. There are almost always alternatives.

And if the officer kills in self defense, then it is self-defense.

Yes, even if the persons who is killed wants to die, if he doesn't kill himself, then it isn't suicide.

Suicide is ONLY when you take your own life. Planning to die is different. It's different pscychology and it's different in a social context.
