Most people aren't going to read his manifesto and those that apparently did only took from it what they wanted to hear. I don't doubt his whistle blowing at all, I believe he was telling the truth. Just look at the cops gone wild and shooting up those women (in the wrong make pickup truck even). However, he broke his own code (for the lack of a better word) when he killed the young couple. He is doing the same thing that he accused others of doing, he went over to the dark side. He's doomed and that's as it should be. He's also wrong on his anti-gun stance, we need them to protect ourselves against people like him.
100% ignored by the very same media that created him.
He was obviously a very intelligent, well written man who obviously watched too much left wing propaganda.
"Willie Geist, you're a talented and charismatic journalist.
Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad Obrien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera, Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper, keep up the great work and follow Cronkite's lead. I hold many of you in the same regard as Tom Brokaw and the late Peter Jennings. Cooper, stop nagging and berating your guest, they're your (guest). Mr. Scarborough, we met at McGuire's pub in P-cola in 2002 when I was stationed there. It was an honor conversing with you about politics, family, and life.
Willie Geist, you're a talented and charismatic journalist. Stop with all the talk show shenanigans and get back to your core of reporting. Your future is brighter than most.
Revoke the citizenship of Fareed Zakaria and deport him. I've never heard a positive word about America or its interest from his mouth, ever. On the same day, give Piers Morgan an indefinite resident alien and Visa card. Mr. Morgan, the problem that many American gun owners have with you and your continuous discussion of gun control is that you are not an American citizen and have an accent that is distinct and clarifies that you are a foreigner. I want you to know that I agree with you 100% on enacting stricter firearm laws but you must understand that your critics will always have in the back of their mind that you are native to a country that we won our sovereignty from while using firearms as a last resort in defense and you come from a country that has no legal private ownership of firearms. That is disheartening to American gun owners and rightfully so."

Serpico was one reason why NYPD had an outside commission investigate the force, the corruption was so rampant and pervasive they were incapable of policing themselves. They actually had a case where one detective accepting payoffs from a drug dealer killed a competing drug dealer. Maybe LAPD needs an outside commission.
Quote:
One enterprising cop moonlighted by illegally wiretapping a particular bar’s public telephone, so he could listen in on random conversations, hoping to find out where he could steal money from drug dealers.
And precinct “desk cops” performing essential administrative functions would routinely expect and receive daily payoffs — a $5 bill was cool — from their fellow patrol officers for nothing more than assigning them patrol cars.
That’s because a patrol car was literally a ticket to ride — guaranteeing beat officers lucrative streams of cash revenue from drug dealers, gamblers, bar owners and local businessmen within their sectors.
When will the public demand that there be changes made to police policies where shoot first is the present protocol.
There is no defense whatsoever for this kind of incident and yet we see it more and more of this kind of senseless attacks on innocent civilians by incompetent LEO.
Why do people join corrupt systems and then become enraged when they can not function as an effective change agent?
But that doesn't seem to be the case here: this fellow's main grievance seems (as far as anyone knows yet) to be that the organization turned against him, not that he was unable to change it from within. As I read it, he's not railing against the corruption per se, but the hypocrisy of a corrupt organization condemning him, when (apparently) he feels he has tried to behave more honorably than many others in it.
This stuff really seams like a movie.
Of course the guy is crazy, but that doesn't mean that the cops had to shoot up 2 vehicles they thought looked like his. These cops are supposed to be professional and not so shook about one guy guerrilla hunting them. I mean really? I guess they have no intention on bringing him in alive. They plan on shooting him regardless of whether or not he's armed.
Or rather, another one. The Rampart affair wasn't that long ago. Not that the independent review panel in that instance achieved much, or anything.
