I think if I were told that I had six months left to live, I'd become a vigilante dispensing justice to a world that has too little of it.

Killing the children of the man who cost you your job.

Justice.

Justice.

Oh, of course not that- let only the guilty pay for their sins.

[Criptfeind]

Actually Scratch that. Killing fucking anyone over the loss of your job. Even the loss of your job to a corrupt and racist system.

Justice.

[FearfulJesuit]

Again, if I only had six months to live- and not over those who wronged me, necessarily, but those who have been egregiously unjust.

[Leafsnail]

Because I am the law, I am justice.

If the police were more likely to shoot at me than offer any kind of protection, I might like to arm myself as well.

If the public were more likely to shoot me than assist in my investigation I'd like to arm myself as well

[GlyphGryph]

Mind you, shooting random members of the public does do quite a bit to reduce their chances of assisting you in your investigation...

Where does it say he killed anyone's children? I'm reading a middle-aged couple (police chief and fiancee), and three other officers.

One of the reports I read said that one of the people he killed was the daughter of an officer on his list. I'll try to dig it up.

It was the daughter of an officer who was involved in his review and her fiance. So people not at all involved in his grievances.

The guy is clearly insane, and I hope they stop him before anyone else gets hurt.

[Scelly9]

God dammit, yet another insane cop incident. The force needs a major overhaul.

[Flying Dice]

It's doubly fucked up because they've got a cop going on a killing spree with police corruption as the motive, using what are (presumably, given his ex-status as a cop and soldier) legally owned weapons. Add in the random women being shot at for the crime of being in a vehicle that looked nothing at all like the killer's and you've nearly hit all the bases possible for a story like this.

Manifesto is too long to skim. Can someone summarize?

He was a scapegoat for something or other and got fired unfairly, losing his dream job. He also has depression.

He reported an officer for kicking a handcuffed suspect. The "trial" was overseen almost entirely by people who knew the offending officer and let her off scott free. He was then run out of the force for several unrelated incidents, including assaulting another officer who used a racial slurr against him, and "making false statements" about an officer, which were apparently true.

Good god that's long, but having read most of it this honestly looks like an intelligent, upstanding and thoughtful guy who just plain snapped. If even half of what he's written is true it sounds like justice failed him completely so he's gone out to make his own. With bullets.

I would guess that regardless of whatever point he was hoping to make, it'll be easy to dismiss it as the actions of a madman. This tape he mentions a few times would be rather easy to get rid of or never release thus undermining a lot of his reasoning. Putting his actions aside, I would focus more on a close analysis of the police department to determine exactly how bad things are there.

He doesn't strike me as insane, rather as someone with a very strong sense of justice attempting to solve issues the only way he can see, having lost hope in legal or justice systems through his own experiences.

Instant celebrity status if you just shoot a bunch of people. 'Murica!

[Moghjubar]

So basically: Police officer goes on rampage and kills people. Police respond by shooting civilians.  Man, thats some blue wall.

[Scelly9]
