15. Your assertion doesn't change the fact that he took on the entire 10,000 member police force.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, he also knew that additinal police agencies would be involved and he took them on as well.

Your statement that the "LAPD wasn't involved in his death" doesn't make sense unless you only mean that the LAPD wasn't on the scene at the time of his death. Obviously, it continued to be involved with running him down and letting it be known through their actions that they had no intention of trying to capture him alive and ensuring his safety if he surrendered to police authorities.

So instead of being cooked alive, he chose to shoot himself. It is obviously irrational to say that a person who openly takes on entire police department and all the police agencies in the area is a coward.
