His life had "limited value."

They don't like it when it happens to them, huh? Maybe somebody should explain the golden rule to them. In small words. Slowly.

If he would have only listened to the conflicting orders he wouldn't have been killed

We taking bets on whether or not it was done by a rival police gang? LASD is well known for their gang activity

LASD doesn't understand: when you start a gang, you're subject to gang war 🤣

Exceedingly critical support to the rival police gang who took this superpredator off the streets

"Outrage" seems a bit overly dramatic. "Expected outcome" would be more fitting.

I'm sorry, it's been years but I still can't see the words "it's an outrage" without hearing them in the voice of the late Andreas Katsulas as G'Kar on Babylon 5 ...

Or Professor Farnsworth after Fry ate his beef jerky mummy.

Those fools, if they'd just set his car on fire afterwards it could have been ruled a suicide.
