* {{Foreshadowing}}: During his arrest, Connor mentions he will be treated like royalty in prison because he's a CopKiller. The last scene shows a prison inmate discreetly handing Connor a shiv while passing by him, another one allowing Connor to take his place in line so he confront his father, then ''all'' the inmates just stand and watch as Connor repeatedly [[{{Patricide}} stabs his father to death]] with no indication that they plan to intervene.
Added DiffLines:
* KindnessButton: Connor sees his victims as tools for him to use to get attention, so he doesn't care who they are. But he [[PetTheDog makes an exception]] with a young boy reading a book at a library because the latter reminds him of his childhood self.

* MisplacedRetribution: When Connor learns that his father will be eligible for parole, he begins his killing sprees by attacking locations that remind him of his father. A rather unusual example of this trope, as Connor is more or less taking his rage out on locations, rather than the people he's killing.
* SayingTooMuch: When he sees news claiming that his last victim is alive, Connor blurts out in front of a convenience store clerk also watching the news that it’s impossible for her to be alive. Of course, the clerk might have been too distracted by the news itself to notice his bizarre comment.
* SkewedPriorities: When Connor is arrested, he is ecstatic that he will be treated with great respect by prison inmates for killing a cop. The arresting detective reminds him that before that happens, he will be detained at the local police station, facing the wrath of over a dozen officer for killing one of their own. Especially since some of the officers know him personally.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: One of the cops tells Connor that he thinks the man who killed his colleague is a coward (not knowing Connor is the man responsible). Connor responds by leaving to kill as many people as possible.
