Young cop kills kids!

G'day every one!

I am more shocked than I wanted to be. When I read about how this young 20 year old kid, that was a cop, I could not believe he would get into such a rage that he would kill his own friends. You don't believe me? Here's the story:

How in *insert your favorite name* did this 20 year old kid pass a background check to get a gun, badge, and uniform? I am more than shocked and stunned. I sit in disbelief that a young man like him would make such a decision to go ahead and kill his friends.

The worst part is, the police act like they have to go after one of thier own. They would rather kill one of their own instead of shooting to disable the rouge cop so they can prosecute him. I think that's the bad idea. If the murderous cop had lived, cops would have seen a awful time in their lives through the courts. So they made the decision of playing "judge, jury, and exectioner" to kill one of their own cop personnel fast as possible.

Now, the bigger problem is, will we know the reasons why he went on a rampage? We won't. The police have acted too fast. How many times have we asked them "shoot to disable the killer! NOT SHOOT TO DEATH". You can't ask a dead body questions.

In this town of Wisconsin, grief has been tone of the day. Pray for them, my friends. I hope every young cop and cop wanna-bes will take a close look at themselves and consider a different job in their young lives. Young kids with guns do not mix well. Especially for a young rookie cop.

Pray for the victims and their family. Lawyers await in the wings next!

Upate: Just as I feared. The poor guy had tried to get back together with his ex-girlfriend and she rebuffed him. Same time his friends called him "worthless pig". In honesty to say, he totally lost control of himself and what he did was totally in rage. I think he knew what was coming. I'm glad he talk to his friend before he died.
But I hope after all this, I hope every police departments from small towns on up changes the way they hire their people.
I still urge people to pray for that town in Wisconsin.
