"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[]
A bitter, arrogant and corrupt police officer named Dan is forced to watch over a group of juvenile delinquents who are being forced to remove anti-cop propaganda graffiti as part of their community service. After yelling at the bad teenagers, he proceeds to his police car, where he gets high off of toluene-based paint thinner. In a delusional rage, he gets out of the car and points his handgun at the teenagers. However, he ends up dropping the gun but as he goes to retrieve it, he accidentally pulls the trigger and shoots himself in the head due to his impaired motor skills, blasting the entire back of his head off, killing him instantly and doing the world a favor by sending himself to hell.
