Gawker has the full manifesto as well. The manifesto is chock full of craziness from all over the political spectrum, but takes particular rage at those he feels responsible for his firing from the police force.

He’s specified his targets in the manifesto, and the shooting of the two women by the LAPD was near where one of those targets was located.

The LAPD has a mess on its hands of epic proportions. Some of those claims about racism and excessive force by officers do ring true. They’re nothing that we haven’t seen claimed about the LAPD before. Only this time, it’s a ex-cop who’s pissed at being fired and is now going to take his anger out on other cops. He’s already murdered two people connected with the officer who represented him at various hearings.

This is not going to end well for the people of LA or the LAPD. And having a trigger happy police force isn’t going to make anyone feel any safer either. I completely get that the cops are on edge since they’re being targeted themselves, but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be taking all manner of precaution to keep the public safe - including identifying who they’re shooting at.
