Are there police who really cannot see the connection between the sexual accusations -and- the suicide (or suicide by cop) act of the perpetrator? If so they need to read this blog "Sex Offender Suicides and Other Deaths" of hundreds of other cases. In particular the over 300 suicides of persons accused of sex crimes.1-26-2011 Michigan:
(CNN) -- A fire at the home of a man police say wounded four Detroit officers was deliberately set, authorities said Wednesday.
Lamar Deshea Moore, 38, walked into a police precinct Sunday and "indiscriminately began firing," Chief Ralph Godbee said Monday. Moore was shot and killed when officers returned fire, the chief said.
The home at which Moore was staying caught fire early Tuesday and was heavily damaged, police said. Detroit Fire Capt. Kwaku Atara told CNN on Wednesday the fire has been ruled arson.
The home was unoccupied, authorities said, and its ownership was uncertain.
Police Officer Dan Donakowski and Sgt. Eren Stephens said Tuesday they were investigating whether Moore had criminal sexual conduct with a minor. They would not release more details, but Donakowski said the teen was "safe."
Other Detroit officers had gone by Moore's home several hours before the shooting at the precinct, but he was not at home, Donakowski said. He declined to provide details of the precinct shooting.
Moore had a relative who was scheduled to be sentenced for double homicide, said the city's police chief, who added he could not "speculate as to motive" in the attack.
"There is nothing in this that makes sense at all," Godbee said in a news conference Monday.
Two of the injured officers have been released from the hospital. As of Tuesday, two others remained hospitalized -- Cmdr. Brian Davis, who was shot in the back, and Officer David Anderson, who was grazed in the head, authorities said.
The shooting has led police to reassess security measures. According to the chief, Mayor Dave Bing has committed to bringing in resources to create a safe environment, and interim measures will be put in place.
"We will do whatever is necessary to provide an environment for our officers that is safe," Godbee said, but he wouldn't specify any immediate changes. The chief said his office will give the mayor recommendations of security protocols that are "reflective of the reality that we have to live with every day."
Meanwhile, efforts to find a motive for the shooting continue. Godbee said police plan to speak with Moore's family and friends to see whether they can provide information. ..Source..

"Lamar Deshea Moore, 38...they were investigating whether Moore had criminal sexual conduct with a minor."
Interesting how quick they were to throw this guy's full name and age out there along with the CSC accusation. I realize the fact that he had indeed committed an actual crime by shooting up the police station but throwing the CSC accusation out there seems to give credence to them doing whatever they want with this guy's name and character (especially since he was killed by police in the shooting spree). Here's my point. Just a few days ago there was a player on the Detroit Lions football team who was totally acquitted of CSC charges by a waitress. This accusation was made several months ago and the police investigation came back with no proof of the allegations. That's good for the football player. What stands out is that the players NAME was never mentioned to the public IN ORDER TO PROTECT HIS PRIVACY since he had only been ACCUSED of CSC and not yet convicted. This poor dead guy, along with countless others of us, were not afforded that luxury. As soon as the allegations of our crimes were made public our names were plastered out there, some in the papers and on TV, linking us to the devious crime. Hmmmmmmm. Anyone out there still no convinced money has anything at all to do with this stuff?
