No investigation was ever properly done. They ruled that it was a crime of opportunity, thing was my father (white guy mind you) was not affiliated with any gang. No casings were ever found and they never even locked the scene down. My father remembers a specific ethnic group being the shooters. The cops blamed a gang that is of a different racial make up entirely so they could continue there war on crime in the city. So he spoke up about it at city council meetings for years. He was the subject of increased police activity for years to come. They eventually were able to test a bullet 10 years later and found it to be from a police issued weapon from that period. The case was reopened and later it was closed due to another case about "stolen" weapons from Fresno PD that ended up in the hands of one gang, the Bulldogs the gang that works with Fresno PD.
Because if the police is already in the house multiple times, what makes you think they wouldn't get into a hotel room (especially easier), or go out of state to get him? I mean if they wanted him dead they'd make sure he was dead, yeah?

Nothing weird about this. Fresno PD obviously killed the poor guy. Police have been and are butchering people left and right yet we're still supposed to raise our kids to believe they need to be respected and obeyed. Screw that mentality.

This is wild but I feel like if the police really wanted to rub someone out they could've found a cleaner way to do it, or at least handwaved some kind of official rationale... it just seems very sloppy
That's not a thermal imager cam. It's a stabilizing rig called gymbal with a normal-looking dslr.
And don't let YT comments fool you, you can't turn any DSLR into thermal imagers by removing the infrared filter
Doing this makes your footage look like this:

Looks like Heaven.
No idea what to make of this story. If it's not suicide, there's obviously something crazy going on.

This person seems crazy. Here's a quote from the blog linked
What exactly would the law enforcement officers gain by scanning plates at a Home Depot that you couldn't get just by following people around in this case? Why would that let them pull him over instead of just doing it the normal way. Also, the guy has a security system apparently with multiple cameras on his house and he talks about selling a jet ski, but the financial stress from being pulled over(he doesn't even say if he got a ticket) crippled what was left of his marriage?

Another gem from that blog
Or the person was normal and smiled at you.

The guy sounds a bit mentally unwell...

The guy sounds like one of those gang stalking people, but the death itself is a little weird.
A lot of this writing sounds exactly like the paranoid rantings of an ill family member of mine.
This is definitely one of those things where he could have been overly paranoid as a result of his treatment by police. Some of his videos don't add up either, but the one with the camera in a van is very odd.
I don't know what to make of this, considering there's been proof of corruption from this PD before it seems.
You can scan a whole bunch of cars at once in a parking lot to determine if there is an issue with the owner. I'm not sure if you can just sit there on private property and wait for them to arrive and arrest them as opposed to pulling them over on public streets.
Yep. He seems like the exact type who would buy into a massive law enforcement conspiracy. There's plenty of details that on their own seem like they could be real (like a government official being peeved at internet commenters and harassing them) but it all adds up to implausibility for me. At the very least his death is a complete Streisand effect if some shadowy cabal of police was trying to silence him, and that means you have to buy the police being incredibly competent at evil and yet doing the exact thing that will make people more likely to believe this guy's story.
You could also say this could be part of him being followed (if true). The guy would be paranoid as fuck looking for every detail.

Absolutely insane.

You seem to be one of those people who try to find that one thing that is or seems wrong and use that to hand wave every other piece of evidence. The video footage is damning and the manner the guy died is incredibly suspect here. If I thought I was being followed/harassed then I would document things that seemed weird. I'm not saying flat out he was the victim of a conspiracy by the PD but something obviously was going on here.

Considering Police are killing people on a daily basis, I believe this.

Not really. If a government / authority want you dead they will get you.
This is some scary shit, though I get the feeling he was murdered less for outspoken political views (plenty of people in this country have those, the government only attacks them when they rock the boat like MLK did) and more for something else; maybe a personal vendetta?
"The man was just trying to scratch his back and accidentally stabbed himself. Then he attempted surgery and stabbed himself in the front. Tragic but clearly not something to look into."
Well shit

This guy sounds completely paranoid. There's an awful lot of information and I don't really have time to parse it all. This certainly should be investigated, but I wouldn't blindly believe his story either. Consider that the man was posting on Facebook just before his death inviting armed strangers to his home to "protect" him. Seems like at least an equally likely way for him to have been killed.

He knew he was going to die.
If I knew that, I would also invite armed friends to my house. (or call the police, but in that case... yeah...)

My cynical ass would normally assume the guy was a child molester who knew he was going to get caught and staged his own death to throw shade at the local PD, but these links have me really feeling unnerved.
That was my first reaction too but then that video is awfully convenient for him.

How would you know that one of the armed strangers you have invited in wasn't one of the cops who was out to get you though? I would have thought a deeply paranoid guy like this would have considered that possibility.
Yep, reading just the OP and it sounds exactly like a person who believes he is being gang stalked.
Someone definitely was staking out his house or street, that much is certain.
Honestly, looking at your post, this looks 100% like you didn't bother to look at any of the video evidence.

Wouldn't say we're certain of that either given it's just a couple videos and confirmation bias is a wondrously inaccurate predictor of things. If anyone sat behind a camera viewing people outside their house 24/7 under the assumption they were being watched then I can guarantee you they would find mountains of 'evidence'.

Just because he's paranoid, it doesn't mean they weren't out to get him. I was paranoid as fuck due to PTSD in the army and it saved me from being committed and framed for trumped up drug charges.

I could watch my house for five years and there would never be a van with more than one burly guy inside, pointing expensive camera rigs through a convenient sliding passenger door.
And then there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkktSQNP5-g
There is a possibility that he edited the footage to fit a bias, there is also a possibility that the men in the van are associated with the deceased in some way. But, we don't know until an investigation happens.

First of all that's not thermal imaging equipment. Second of all it proves nothing which was my point. I've seen city contractors photographing places for various reasons numerous times before. Could it still be some super secret op to kill the dude? Yeah, I suppose so. But I prefer to take an Occam's razor approach to things and not assume a string of events seemingly random are suddenly related just because they fit my paranoia.
