* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_and_manhunt Christopher Dorner]] was a textbook real-life example of this trope. His story, told in an 11,000-word manifesto he originally posted to Facebook, was that he grew disillusioned with his job as an officer in the UsefulNotes/LosAngeles Police Department over the systemic racism and PoliceBrutality he encountered, and that he was fired for trying to blow the whistle on the use of excessive force. His colleagues dispute his claims, arguing that he was a loose cannon who never should've been allowed on the force in the first place. In any event, Dorner was a man who [[BerserkButton did not respond well]] to challenges to his personal integrity, leading him to go on a killing spree across southern California in 2013 that saw him kill four people and injure three others (all of them police officers or relatives of such) before dying in an extended siege at a cabin at Big Bear Lake.
