    Holy crap, this was the third person the officer had shot in the head while on duty. This guy was a serial killer in a uniform.

      I just watched a documentary on John Wayne Gacy. He said the reason he loved being a clown is because:

      “nobody judges you if you’re a clown. You can grab and pick up women, and they just laugh. You can put handcuffs on anyone as a magic trick, and they just trust you. You could get away with murder, and nobody would look at you twice.”

      Which is even more chilling when you realize he used to ask teenage boys to put handcuffs on, and they did. He playfully put a noose on their necks, and they let him. And he killed them without resistance.

      And cops didn’t suspect him because he was an upstanding member of the community. He was a local politician, and he entertained children by being a clown.

      So it’s kind of the same thing. Gacy wore a clown uniform, and nobody suspects. This cop wears a blue uniform, and no one suspects. But in both cases, it’s just a set of clothing. It doesn’t help or change the person wearing it.
