Has anyone actually read his manifesto? He used to be a cop, and saw severe police brutality, blackmail, and bribery before he decided to quit. He'd been trying to fight intensive corruption in the LAPD for nearly a decade afterwards.. It went as far as him receiving death threats when he tried to rustle up witnesses, and his case being thrown out of court by a corrupt judge when he dismissed said threats. The final option was his last resort.

As right now, they don't even know if he's in there. I believe everything he said was true - a man of his former integrity wouldn't reduce to this level because of a lie. I don't care how you twist it. He said that this wasn't about ends justifying means. He said that this was about changing the LAPD system. He's not trying to get any sympathy, he's just trying to change the system.
