The suspect still presents a high risk to officers involved in the manhunt and, if cornered, will likely shoot at police again. Offenders like this sometimes choose a suicide option to have some distorted control over the outcome of the situation, deciding for themselves how they go out.

Your father risked personal danger for 27 years, me for 31.5 years, my brother, my niece and a legion of others to protect the public from lawless anarchy. Sincere condolences to their families, colleagues and friends.

Russia isn't looking for peace, they're looking to conquer. Fuck Russia!

What an idiot. Noting different generational age mannerisms is hardly medical or intuitive. Certainly not comment worthy. Mitochondrial challenges are a daft conclusion to draw. His father and uncle must be spinning in their graves.

The fuck it is. Not even close. Same language, similar culture. Totally different values, perspectives, loyalties, allegiances, and reputation. No debate required.
