I think he shall be a very problemed prisoner!!
WOW
All JMO
First I am glad he was caught. He was a menace to society and is off the streets. The public and LE does not have to worry about this guy anymore.
For his court appearance part, we learned a few things and I suspect he was trying to tell the truth from his twisted perspective.
For the ex-GF murder he seems to be claiming some sort of self defense and said other guns were present. That is interesting and I bet others at the scene will have different views of things.
For him being still in the area and getting arrested it really is mind boggling how he stayed in the area. I wonder if he knew he would be arrested sooner or later and didnt care anymore. I am glad no other LE got hurt while arresting him.
As far as his injuries it is confusing what he is saying and my interpretation is he seems to be claiming that he wasnt resisting and was crawling or something like that while he was injured by LE. At one point he says they took his eye so the eye injury sounds pretty bad.
If any of that is true where LE took their rage out on him while arresting him then this is the part where I get upset with LE. Only if true of course. But if true that they went overboard and basically beat the hell out of him or what I think is more likely is they were kicking him then it is just sad because this is the sort of thing where the US versus THEM mentality keeps getting propagated. LE does not do themselves any favors when this sort of thing happens.
The strides that are made to improve the relationship between LE and the people in the inner city communities are all washed out the window when LE does things that seem to have occurred here.
Again let me be clear. We dont know if any of that is true and he may have been swinging and fighting the whole time which is likely as well. Just going by what he is saying in this courtroom video and it could be false what he is saying.
I am of the viewpoint to let the courts and punishment stay in the courts. We as a society cannot turn like 3rd world countries. He is probably luckily he was not injured worse than he was. If he lost an eye over it at least he was not killed like could have happened in other countries.
There is no doubt he murdered a LE officer in cold blood. We need to let the courts convict him of that and give him either DP or life in prison and keep the punishment in the courts. Otherwise the problems between LE and communities will never get better. I know that is easier said than done when they finally arrested the person that murdered their coworker.
Anyway like I mentioned there is a lot of information that can be gathered from this video.
The final thing to mention is it is interesting to hear that money was involved in some of the motive for him being at the ex-wifes house when he killed her.
And its real interesting to hear that he wants to be his own attorney. Wow. I have a feeling he will change his mind on that.
Anyway I am so glad this is over and he is locked up.
