If cops execute him, it'll be because that's how cops react to cop-killers. And it may be his intention to go down in a firefight.

But, unlike other cases in which a discredited accuser's allegations, meritorious or not, can be swept away, I suspect that when the immediate crisis is over the LAPD will face more scrutiny over its conduct and the circumstances of this officer's firing. His twisted plan may accomplish that much, even though it destroyed his hopes of reclaiming his good name and his honor.

It's propaganda done badly.

Now, in the coming days, the Real Pros(tm) will get on the job and we'll be told how rambling the actual document is and we'll be given watered-down summaries to easily digest. Legal Experts will then show how the Manifesto is just a rehash of well-known-and-resolved LAPD scandals.

But as a recovering Catholic, I can vouch that "Forbidden Fruit" is just, well, ineffective.

I'm in no way condoning what he's doing but Americans better start asking a lot of questions and fast.

Must americans will not. His Manifesto tells me, at the very least, Rampart was never over.

That's what I got out of it.
I don't think that's bad...shouldn't they keep the names out for the moment?
