Sorry, but that's not an argument and definitely not the end of discussion.
Let's revise it:
1) Jesus knew he was going to die
2) He had the power to prevent that from happening
3) He did not prevent that from happening
4) Which means he allowed himself to be killed
5) Which is what suicide by cop means
Suicide = Killing yourself. Jesus did not kill himself.
Suicide by cop = Acting in a threatening way to intentionally provoke a lethal response from law enforcement. Jesus did not act in a threatening way to incite a lethal response from the law enforcement.
Allowing yourself to be killed, is not suicide by cop.
