Where did you hear he was an X-cop?
That would explaine how he knew the "secret" of getting the gun out of the holster, that the talking head wouldn't show on FOX news.
I don't know if that's true for sure, but it was upthread someplace. That he had been a cop in NY, but now was a unix admin for UPS, perhaps some kind of "security consultant".
don't have a source for it.
