DAVIS, Calif. (AP) The man who shot and killed a rookie California police officer left a letter on the bed in the home where he lived claiming police bombarded him with ultrasonic waves, officials said.
Police in the college town of Davis near Sacramento on Saturday made public the one-paragraph letter they said was written by Kevin Douglas Limbaugh, 48. He killed himself Thursday after fatally shooting Officer Natalie Corona.
. . .
"The Davis Police department has been hitting me with ultra sonic (sic) waves meant to keep dogs from barking," the letter said. "I notified the press, internal affairs, and even the FBI about it. I am highly sensitive to its affect (sic) on my inner ear. I did my best to appease them, but they have continued for years and I can't live this way anymore."
The handwritten note was signed "Citizen Kevin Limbaugh." Also recovered as evidence from the man's home were two unregistered guns.

(6,810 posts)The tiny segment of the population who have these auditory/inner ear disturbances do NOT go around blaming cops and shooting them. It's suspected it has to do with super-sensitivity to EM radiation, perhaps tied to a vestigial extra sense from an earlier Human ancestor. Some modern animals have it which aids in navigation.
This guy, however, was possibly schizophrenic and not being treated. But sure, yeah, give him guns. I'm sure it will be fin... oh.

(7,400 posts)Shocker. First fatal officer shooting in Davis history, except for a guy in the fifties who killed himself.
Limbaugh was a registered Republican in Florida.

Like this gentleman. Who loved his guns so much he was willing to kill for them.
I'm just angry.
