And then he writes about thoughts of killing someone over that, in the same letter where he's trying to get sympathy? How stupid can you be? We all know about the Blue Line and corruption and the good ol boy network, but I'm sorry, this guy sounds like someone who didn't know how to manage perceptions by other people. He probably came across as a whiner or outcast. I've been there. And as for the complaints he submitted, that were ignored? One thing I've learned in life is that you can't expect others to stand up for you just because you're right. The sad truth is that you have to try to fit in, and kiss ass a little, or nobody is going to do shit for you. Being correct doesn't mean shit in this world.

Just remember that when the bailiff has his knee in your chest and you're on the ground gasping for air because you wouldn't stand when the judge came in the courtroom

As many times as he's referenced Rodney King, methinks a bit of racial bias has slipped in. He apparently sees Whitey as the devil trying to shove the Bible down his throat. All this A hole is trying to do is start another race riot.Which there will be as soon as the LEOs put him down.
I'll bet Jesse Jackson is on a plane there right now. |

I realize my criticism smacks of arm-chair quarter-backing, but I don't care. It's one thing to accidentally harm civilians while actively engaging a perpetrator. It's a completely different thing to gun down civilians while trying to engage a perpetrator who isn't even present. I have a very hard time believing that those women, had they been confronted as law enforcement officers are supposed to do, would have done anything but comply with the officers' instructions. *Shit, we've sent our own troops in Iraq to jail for less than this.

If his manifesto is even 10% correct, we've got more criminals IN the LAPD than arrested BY the LAPD

Just remember kids, these are the only people in society that should be allowed to have guns.
If one trained guy can do this to one of the biggest agencies in the nation, just imagine 10, 100, 10,000 all at once nation wide. |

I can definitely see this being used against us.
"If trained police professionals can make terrible mistakes like this then, we can't allow regular citizens to have guns!" That's how I'd spin it if I were on the opposition. |

It'd ring hollow, I think. Unless they put their money where their mouth is and take away longarms and semiauto pistols and give them S&W revolvers. Americans like to stick their heads in the sand and live in a bubble, but we're not stupid. If anything it'd strengthen the divide between politicians and their lackeys/enforcers and the rest of us.
Have CNN, Fox, or msnbc put any focus on the innocents getting shot up by the police, or are they glossing over it while making excuses for them? |
