Or on this we have a former LAPD officer who was actually named in these suspects rambling manifesto let's bring in mark Furman.

He is a Fox News contributor -- I want to read this portion of the manifesto -- in -- the suspect says that he was the recipient.

Of racial slurs when he worked for the LAPD he brings up Rodney king and he mentions you hear is that portion of the manifesto.

The department has not changed from the Daryl Gates and mark Furman days those offices are still employed -- have all been promoted to command staff in supervisory positions I will correct this error.

Are you aware that an officer seen on the Rodney King videotape striking mr.

king multiple times with a baton.

On 339.

Is still employed by the LAPD and is now a captain on the police department mark.

Your response.

-- Well when you when you look at this I mean the manifestly shows that he has turned psychotic -- and quite possibly had some kind of -- -- to begin with but.

And when you hear his his his ran teens in this manifesto.

He is striking out in all directions -- he has not just specifically targeting one thing one person.

One issue one race one attitude it's everything.

So he -- when you when you see that manifest so I think we we almost spend too much time on what we have is a man that is.

Is loose who has the capabilities and has shown the willingness to kill.

And that I think he's not giving -- their respect and the threat assessment.

That he deserves we're treating him like.

Your average on the run murder mass murder suspect that has it -- nothing he's had for years to plan this.

Watch the big bear a situation going on.

Make no mistake.

This suspect knows how big departments react to a threat they know they can't walk away if there's a possibility.

He left the evidence of a possibility.

And he knows that a tactical alert eats up man power it -- up energy and it heats up motivation and I believe that's exactly what he's doing.

And -- you make a good point about the manifesto I I can just say that four people in the public and certainly the media.

It's interesting to get a -- go.

Into the mind of someone who was accused of a murderous Rampage obviously we try to figure out how to stop it in the future he feels as though he was blacklisted by the LAPD after he says he was a whistle blower against another officer who use excessive force and he says.

That the killing will stop when the LAPD.

Clears his name what does the chief of police do about that.

Boy does nothing he already said that's not gonna happen that's exactly how you deal with us.

He is he is not any longer.

You know dealing with any logic -- reason he has -- focus.

For four years he has built this up and if we're gonna -- for four years he built up this anger since he was fired we need to say one other thing.

For four years he is -- being preparing for this moment.

Now to think that he would simply burn his vehicle and go on foot.

And this is going to be the end of it I think would be ridiculous he could have had multiple vehicles.

Locations weapons arms he could have multiple places that he could.

He could go to he could hold up for days and weeks waiting for the tactical alert to subside we -- well.

Now when you look at this I hear in the reporter Dominic talking about you can't survive -- that those conditions I beg to differ I live in those conditions and I will tell you with just a backpack you can live quite comfortably and sub zero weather.

So that that's ridiculous to think somebody can't operate now but I don't think -- yes.

He's certainly not going and getting gas and a -- at a 7-Eleven.

He's made he's made plans so we doesn't have to take his very recognizable.

Presence.

Anywhere in public so he'll be reporter picked up on a video they need to have a little bit more respect.

For what this man has probably plan.

Marc we only had a few seconds left -- we know that yes survivalist training.

Is it your belief that he will wait that out in the woods somehow.

I think -- wake him -- but I don't think he's in the woods any longer -- I would suspect that.

He had a vehicle that was already prepared and by the time that vehicle started burning he was already on the road and all the law enforcement was sucked into that area.

And he got out.

Mark Furman we appreciate you coming into your expertise and we shall see we pray that this entire standoff Anderson thank yeah.
