Did they get Kissinger to head up the investigation? Oh wait, that was the 9/11 thingy....

Kind of seems pointless to investigate his firing now. They should be investigating and charging the cops who ambushed the 2 latinas and shot up the neighborhood.

so they can find him. If he's as crackers as his manifesto sounds, he might.

This is a ploy to lure him in.

LAPD NEVER, EVER acknowledges wrongdoing or errors.

shows that firing him was not a mistake.

Just my impression. YMMV.



Meanwhile, they need to investigate the shooting of that woman. Some others in LAPD either need to be fired, or at least re-educated.

unhinged people can also be wronged, and can witness wrongdoing and be outraged by it.

So i don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

This smells more like the FBI than LAPD to me. They have no idea where he is and he's a very unstable and dangerous person to be roaming free.

Nothing is going to undo the murders he committed, or the damage done by the LAPD in their state of flop sweat fear to innocent citizens. Be that as it may, I still hope this guy is dumber than a box of rocks and he buys it. He's a serious danger to society at the moment.

Unhinged, yea. But so far he's eluded several LE agencies. I don't think he's dumb.

It would be nice if it did though, but it's not likely to.
