LAPD as judge, jury, and executioner

And most of all I do regret losing my cool somewhere in there with Marley23. That didn’t reflect well on me and I deserved my flaming. Didn’t mean to make the thread about me either.

I know we’ve entered a new age of minimal attention spans, but are we really at the point of reminiscing about threads we’re still posting in?

You didn’t try.

I wanted to want to try.

Seriously? You have the gall to say that when I politely thanked you for not being mean?! You truly have no integrity!!!

Good times.

How about that LAPD? I hear they’re dirty and racist. And have bad color perception.

Remember when you said;

That was pretty awesome.

I do, and I remember how upset it made Pedro. Time heals all sounds, they say, so I hope we’re now able to look back and laugh at our headstrong ideals and silly haircuts.

I’m not a fan of the LAPD…but murderers DO NOT get the benefit of the doubt. His every word is suspect. Once you have murdered, especially civilians, nothing you say can be taken at face value.

Ditto, for the police…

i knew there had to be a reason why people indulge in trainwrecks. to get to little gems like this.

Not that I doubt you’ll find any amount of repugnant shit going on in the LAPD, but going by his posted “manifesto” this guy is a nut. Being a victim doesn’t make you a saint.

Huh, I had just the opposite reaction, but yours seems to be the consensus here. Sorry for chiming in so late, but I somehow managed to never hear about this guy until just now from watching Margaret Cho’s latest standup special, in which she jokes about being referenced in his “manifesto” (actually true). After Googling the manifesto, I found this and this. My reaction was that it was hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that someone who sounds so engaging, thoughtful, and just an all around cool guy, was also a cold-blooded killer of innocents (being related to someone who screwed you over does not make them less innocent). So I’m seeing “crazy” much more from the actions than from the manifesto.
