Anyone else been following this?

Absolute madness over in L.A.

Basically, this ex LAPD cop goes on a cop killing shooting spree!

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/02/08/us...t=hp_inthenews

Sadly, his ex LAPD colleagues shot up the wrong SUV which contained two women, one aged 71! Luckily, they both survived the assault, but holy **** were they lucky!



Looks like they have a shoot first ask questions later policy over there at the moment

I couldn't believe they shot the van without checking first. American mentality, shoot first, ask questions later. They still not found the dude?

Reminds me of the movie Heat with Robert Deniro, the shoot out in the street with cars all over the place with doors open etc.

Have you read his very detailed manifesto?

Seems he is getting a lot of support from the general public if you scan the twitter feeds, so LAPD will probably go on a smear campaign at some point.

The guy is clearly well trained and used to living outside, he has also had a reasonable time to get himself ready for this - so in reality if he wants to stay hidden I reckon he could. He will have upto date training on what tech they have and how to counter it (i.e IR etc). Their only hope is if he makes a mistake and gives away his position - or mounts another attack.

"What I should have done, was put a Winchester Ranger SXT 9mm 147 grain bullet in his skull and Officer XXXX’s skull. The Situation would have been resolved effective, immediately."

Do not attempt to shadow or conduct any type of ISR on me. I have the inventory listing of all UC vehicles at Piper Tech and the home addresses of any INT analyst at JRIC and detachment locations

There's more TLA's (three letter acronyms) in that manifesto than in the IT industry

Sounds like he's gonna open a big can of whoopass on someone.

Can't wait to see the film

Well that was an interesting read!

Sounds to me like a guy been pushed too far to the edge and now has no reason to to be fearful, the worst type there is with no worries of consequences! all I can say is he's probably speaking mostly truth, we all know most of the police departments are as bent as they come with everyone covering each others backs! To some degree yes you want to feel you will be backed up by colleges to accusations, but not when it's around officers abusing their positions especially if what he says is true with regards to kicking a mentally ill man, this may give them something to think about in the future before destroying somebody's life and actually do the job they are suppose to do which is to SERVE AND PROTECT not to LYE AND CHEAT!

They always go on about doing the right things yet so many incidents are never resolved or are just brushed under the carpet when it suits, perhaps something like this will scare the shît out of some people and actually straighten the system out over there, I'm not condoning the murdering of innocent people but lets be fair its not hard to see why he's cracked, especially if he was "ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS"

When he's had a chinwag with Charlie Sheen he'll probably realise the futility of his actions.
And blow his brains out.
His, not Charlie's as he doesn't have one.

I hope it is just my imagination that when a copper is given arms, he seems almost to be looking for the excuse to kill someone!

Funny you should say that, I was joking with a friend about it being a bit Raoul Moat and said we need an american Gazza to rock up. I suggested Charlie Sheen, bugger me, the next day he is all over the news with a video message to him haha.

Initial reports are saying he tried - or has - stolen a car.
Also reports of shots fired, and also reports of a casualty - maybe 2.

He has half of one of these? Could be nasty if dropped on someone I guess?




Only jesting. Ex sniper bro in law used them a fair bit - fairly pokey in the bullet flinging department.

He is now in a house, and shooting @ the cops according to fox news.
Fox also "confirming" 2 officers have been shot - no report on condition.

The helicopter tv report showed a pick up truck crashed into some woods - looks like he is now in a house very close to this location.

Guess we'll know more in about 7 or 8 hours hours time.
Sounds like he's dead though
