He seemed seemed to have more of a stance that his name is what backs his honor and felt his name was disgraced by the LAPD, because they covered up corruption and put him out cold. Claims because of LAPD's decision to say he falsely submitted a police report that he lost his security clearance with the Navy and some other stuff.

He also seems to have a victim mentality as in, when bad things happen to him it gives him justification to do bad things back. (ie somehow he expects 2 wrongs to make a right)

I think it should be interesting to see what becomes of this outside of him eventually being captured/killed but if there is any internal turmoil in the LAPD. He seemed very addiment about him not lying and that the good ole buy network in sie the LAPD covered up a lying/dirty cop.

He claims several times in his letter that video evidence shows that the victim whom he says the other cop kicked in the face, also stated that the cop kicked him. Meaning the evidence shows he wasn't lying. Will be interesting to see what becomes of that because you know damn well the press is going to dig into that as he told them they should.

Regardless it doesn't give him justification to go around shooting people, but seems with his past experiences he was likely a bit too extreme in certain areas related to race and perhaps the corruption he saw in the LAPD and the wrongs he felt were done to him pushed him over the edge.
