Maybe I thought it was disrespectful to jump to the suicide conclusion so quick, but I was mistaken. Nothing ever seemed to add up. It was really strange a week after he was killed they couldn't even determine cause of death. I wonder if a different coroner would have rubber stamped it. Too bad for his family. Just more pain.

Yeah, I am not sure how it took them this long to figure it out, unless the cop tried to frame someone else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 06:05 PM) I heard two weeks ago the officer was also a runner in a gang. This was exposed and he killed himself. FBI involved due to the nature of corruption in the pd. Not sure that's out there but source was pretty credible. That doesnt really fit the profile in my opinion. A depressed vet committing suicide because of PTSD does. Again ,this has all been so crazy nothing would surprise me at this point.

Jose Abreu Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yikes. Weeks of hearing about how great of a guy he was and how he's so respected, and you find he's a criminal. I feel very bad for his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Wow. I'm totally shocked by all this. Maybe because nothing ever happens up here and I'm just naive. It seems like a total 180 of how everyone talked about the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Very sorry for the family, this is a far more tragic outcome for them even prior to being amplified (I would imagine) by the public nature of this. The resources dedicated to finding 3 imaginary suspects in the initial days were probably greater than what some small nations could have put up. 400 Cops from all over the state, some armed as if they were going to Syria, Helicopters, ATVs, Dogs, Submarines, Unicorns...why was this necessary? It would be nice if even a thousandth of that effort was put into murder investigations of victims who happened not to be police officers.

You almost get the feeling that someone just felt like playing army because they could. This kind of response wasn't warranted even if there were 3 suspects.

It'll be interesting to see who the 2 individuals are that will be charged. The few texts released, he seems like a scumbag. One text message read, "If she gets ahold of the old checking account, im pretty well f***ed," according to a release from officials. In one of the texts, Gliniewicz and "Individual #2" discuss trying to get Marrin out of office, perhaps by arresting her for drunk driving, or worse. "Trust me ive thougit through MANY SCENARIOS from planting things to the volo bog," he wrote, referring to a local waterway that would be difficult to search.

What are the odds that its a corrupt police officer that carefully staged his own suicide when something crazy like that first happens? The conspiracy people who pop out when ANYTHING happens will always be there no matter what but this was such a freak situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
