The other day, I stumbled on this story of a cop vs. anarchist punk standoff that resulted in their deaths. Here’s the article

Since I couldn’t leave comments on the news site.. I wanted to vent about it here on my own poker blog

Having gone back and reviewed all the video evidence, including the original altercation recorded on the cruiser’s dash cam in 2003, I cannot begin to understand how ANYONE could stand by Liko, the anarchist egocentric sychopath. He sort of reminds me of the Dylan guy from the Columbine massacre. Clearly just a fuse waiting to go off.. The sort of guy who has no respect for authority and cannot look past his own nose. He attempts to be the ‘tough’ guy but comes across as a hysterical drama queen, really more like a bich, than a bull. The exact type of character that should evoke all the negative reaction from just about every other normal individual, with a good functioning brain.

The case, like many other similar cop vs. imbred, basically comes down to a simple “you listen to the cop, you’ll be alright” scenario. You fail to listen to the cop, you basically are asking for trouble. If a cop pulls you over and asks you to present ID papers.. mine advise is just do it. Give the cop your papers and everything should be alright if you got nothing to hide. Start asking “why” a thousand times over and you are just asking to be bitch slapped. I’m actually quite amazed at how well this cop acted. I’m not sure I would have had the same patience dealing with a jerk like that.

In the end.. it’s a sad day whenever a good cop dies. The silver lining in all this is that the punk is also dead. I guess the bad karma caught up with him pretty quick.
