Skyline driver killed a cop then himself

[pushead]

From Hearld-Sun:

http://heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_...255E661,00.html

"A screwed-up parking ticket found in his red Nissan Skyline revealed he was booked by Sen-Constable Clarke at 10.34pm for travelling at 92km/h in a 80km/h zone in nearby Wandin.

Sen-Constable Clarke, who worked in the Knox traffic unit, had been in the force for 11 years."

Another Skyline involvement.

meh..

dont get me wrong thats shocking

but wont have any effect on skylines.

[pushead]

i just hope not. it is a sad story indeed

[R31Nismoid]

so he was pulled over for speeding and not 3 hours later being hassled again?

hmm...

[xRHETTx]

I hope no one on this forum expresses any sympathy towards this scum police-killer.

I wouldnt call being pulled over for doing 12km over the limit being hastled. Or being pulled over for a random breath test either, the cop was probably pulling every car that passed him over.

Nothing can ever justify what he did.... Its a shame he killed himself, im sure he would have enjoyed the next 25 years of his life in prison.

I don't understand why R31 Nismoid had to use the term "hassled again". Do you not have any respect for a murdered person who was only doing his job?

Was an R31 by the looks of things.

Whats 12km/hr over these days in VIC ? $250 and 3 points? To lose you life over? so minor..

pretty mixed up... drugs or some issue was probably involved. You just don't even entertain that thought unless you are seriously disturbed in the first place. Just mixed up all round, and two lives gone.

It was a standard Australian Delivered 31 red in colour. Just saw it on TV so it must be true :headspin:

the report stated the man was disturbed and medical attention had failed to help him.

[R31Nismoid]

come to vic and live here. Then you'll understand.

Not saying murder is right. Far from it.

But get the wrong person on the wrong day. Things like this happen.

Its how things are these days. With "X" amount of people in the world some people are gonna be crazy and set off by certain things.

I just wonder if he had owned a white holden commondore if the exact description of his car would have been mentioned?

Note its not an import, and a sedan, but I guess it makes it all the more newsworthy if the words Nissan Skyline are added in for good measure!

I feel sorry for all concerned and it just shows how a few beers can affect the outcome of simple everyday events.

[pushead]

what concerns me is the Officer is from Knox CMU close to where i live.

[Driver]

wat is knox cmu?

[Jetdat]

Knox is an outer eastern suburb of melb where the local Traffic Management Unit (TMU) is well known amongst import/modified car owners for issuing defect notices.

[IOWNU]

THe guy who killed the cop was obviously mentally disturbed or something...

besides....as if he'd get hasstled in THAT particular skyline.

Not an issue, won't effect Skylines or skyline drivers in general.

so he was pulled over for speeding and not 3 hours later being hassled again?

hmm...

I was gonna say the same thing, everything has its own limit. The herald sun was saying the guy felt ashame and shot himsefl......hm...how the **** do they know?

The guy know that he has no way out for killing an enforcement member so he shot himself.

Ofcourse with the deepest sympathy to the officer family but i think they need to look into the way Victoria polices acting. For instant, how many cases of Vic cops choose to shoot people instead of using spray can, ok the offenders could be dangerous, arm with knifes and shit but how about shoot him in the leg?

[West]

It says he took the policemans gun. How did he manage to do that?

Exactly, how did me manage to do that? Ain't all cops are trained?

[sktz-34]

chill guys, no need to take it out on other people.

yeah, the article says that he may have suffered from psychiatric illnesses in the past, so who knows what was going through this guys head.

hate it how they've said "red Nissan Skyline", automatically i thought of a r33 or something, then i saw the pic... it's obvious what people are going to assume by the title.

sympathy to the family & friends of the officer involved.

[VLS_BACK]

is there a reason why this guy shot the cop yet?

some people r just hard core clickers.. maybe he had enough of being harrased and shoot the cop... then relised what he had done and shot him self...

i mean , i know a guy that clicks when maccas have a 2 minute wait on his mc chicken.. ( to th epoint where he tried climbing threw the drive threw window) some people r just chemically unbalanced..

Condolences to the family of the officer that died.

Leaving behind his wife and 2 year old son.. Nobody needs to go through that pain.
