    The one longer video, about 55 seconds, had been cut into two smaller chunks. So one ended with him pointing the gun at the reporter. Then the second video picked up right after that.

    I assumed he posted the first two videos and realized what he did, then posted the entire video.

    So instead of gun control, we need camera control?

    Correct. We have more rampage killings now, though.

    Hey, you're supposed to do whatever the police tell you, at least if you're black and pulled over in a car. This guy just did what everyone tells blacks to do. Why criticize him?

    A statement like that without data is an opinion.

    By the way ... this one doesn't qualify as a mass/rampage kill per that "are they becoming more frequent?" study.

    We've been over it here, ad nauseum.

    Watched the killer's resume tape. Good voice, so-so content. Given the four different station logos on his reel, that's not good.

    If he would have just lost 30 pounds and kept his anger in check years ago, he probably would have made a Top 20 market with a six-figure job easily. Big cities can't hire guys who look like him quickly enough.

    Yeah, it struck me as an overreaction at best, grandstanding at worst. You still go out and do your jobs.
