Oh well, good thing they caught the guy before he went and invented Nerve Gear or something. (That's assuming this person isn't yet another fall guy, of course.) |
It's almost like that episode of South Park where Cartman pretends he's a psychic detective...almost.
Also, is it just me or did anyone else think Deus Ex: Human Revolution when they saw that pic on the right depicting the hacking chain. That was my first thought followed by, "Is that what hacking looks like nowadays?"

Nothing unbelievable about revenge. Revenge is what happens when people feel they have no other option. Cops are no different than any other human being. Sad situation, but nothing unbelievable. |
I know but the ex-cop declaring a one-man war against his comrades is unbelievable to me. It's like something out of an episode of Criminal Minds, and it's acting out in real life and as Balut said this hacker with remote control virus is like something out of a anime storyline. |
Perhaps I watch too many crime reenactments, but revenge killings are nothing new, after all that is where the term 'going postal' came from. This one just made the news because it is the LAPD, and they are not exactly known for being kind and friendly.
Though I do agree about the remote control virus, but even then should we be all that surprised in the age of the botnet. |
That is true, but then again NYPD doesn't have a lot of good record too, there's no such thing as the perfect cop/policeman. I know Revenge killings are nothing new, but in all my life (and I'm a history nerd), I've never heard of a ex-cop declaring a one-man war against his own bretheran.

Well, he wasn't on the force very long at all, so referring to him as an "ex-cop" is overstating it(if technically correct); calling them his brethren is also definitely wrong.

I know, but still I find it shocking. Would you be shocked if a TSA agent got fired and then returned to the airport he worked for and use an assault rifle to killed many people at the airport as revenge because I can't remember the last time anyone did that, and I can't the last time a ex-cop declare a one-man war against the police department he worked for.
