I don't know if the article is impartial. I just thought people might need some context.

When people stop believing that justice is possible via the government system, they will seek it through other means. It doesn't make it right, but it does provide a warning that the system is failing.

I don't blame the father for not choosing a better target but it would have been great to go Luigi mode instead of just off a retired cop who wont be actively abusing citizens as much as the majority of other cops. He was obviously breaking down and wouldn't have had capacity to plan such a thing but if you are going to potentially end your life in such a way there are more impactful ways to do it
