"Cop Out", Way to Die #107, is the fourth death to be featured in "Locked and Low Dead", which aired on February 29, 2012, along with "Sor-Dead Affair".
Plot[]
There is nothing worse than a bad cop like Officer Dan. He drank on the job, robbed drug dealers and never refused to take a bribe.
Officer Dan had the task he hated the most: Guarding a group of punks who were doing community service cleaning up graffiti against the police. Officer Dan yelled at them to paint. They said they were doing it and that they were doing what they could, Dan was so stupid that he decided to kill time by getting high with a substance that punks used: Thinner, which contained Toluene.
After inhaling the Toluene, he angrily stormed out of his car and started yelling at the punks to continue painting and pointed his gun at them while the punks were trying to calm him down. However, the bad cop suddenly dropped his gun. He bent down to pick it up and accidentally pulled the trigger and shot himself in the head.
The bullet went through his head, destroying his arteries and causing hematomas, edema and an abrupt increase in intercranial pressure. In simple terms, he blew his damn brains out, killing himself and doing the world a favor by sending himself to Hell, leaving punks shocked at his death.
"A bad cop is a blight upon society. They're supposed to serve and protect, not use and abuse. Officer Dan did everyone a favor by taking himself out."
