Dressing up as a police officer is an extremely effective way to confuse law enforcement response and evade detection during the ensuing manhunt. Just look at the 2020 Nova Scotia shooting spree. The shooter had a mocked up cop car & uniform, he killed 22 people and caused all sorts of confusion among law enforcement (of course there’s also a lot more to that case including his organized crime ties and links to prison guards but I’m getting off topic) including a few of them opening fire on a community hall.
It’s extremely possible he was a police informant and the “confusion” was them not knowing what to do about ‘their guy’ going around killing people. He was pulled over by the police a week earlier which is a common way they use to contact informants and a bunch of other things.
My personal theory that he was essentially between being a police informant and being involved with cigarette/liquor/weapon smuggling across the border.
To me it’s very likely he was an informant, he was able to get away with shit (his open secret police car, performing a citizen’s arrest on a pair of cops) that would get most people in trouble and there was that large cash withdrawal shortly before the shooting that was more than suspicious. He had close ties to both biker gangs like the hells Angels and law enforcement. Hell, one of his targets that day was a couple of prison guards he knew, he spent something like an hour and a half at their property and burned it to the ground as he left.

:spiderman-point: “He could be any one of us!”
Best to shoot everybody, just in case.
It could be you! It could be me! It could even be…
