LA cops stalked by suspect -- and a brutal past

LA cops stalked by suspect -- and a brutal past | Police Problems and Policy | Scoop.it
Los Angeles has witnessed every variety of killing, but this one is different: The suspect is targeting cops and bringing up a painful chapter in LAPD history.

I have been following this story loosely. It is definitely scary how this man is going on a rampage and sending out such threats- and to think he was formerly part of the brotherhood, himself! It deeply bothers me. Why would someone formerly committed to the safety of others snap suddenly like this? The hunter is now the hunted. I think that this could have easily been fixed with proper assessment of the officer before,during, and after his career. This man is not justified for threatening and killing his once-fellow officers simply because he was fired. While I do not completely know the whole situation, there is not one instance that could justify this mans actions. It is a sad situation, I pray for the best for the officers assigned to hunting him down, and I hope that he is able to get the proper help he needs.

Once a strategy for retailers to build brand awareness and coolness cred in a flashy spectacle (now you see us, now you don't), the pop-up shop has transformed into a tool of urban revitilization. In San Francisco, the city government has partnered with a pop-up incubator called SQFT to help activate a downtrodden neighborhood's potential with a jolt of temporary business inserted into retail deadspace. Today, SQFT celebrates its launch by bringing a slice of life to a string of blocks in San Francisco's Mid-Market with a pop-up library, yoga studio, and cafe, among other temporary businesses...
