Despicable Fla. prison guard

I just read the tragic story of a federal agent who was killed while attempting to make six arrests of corrupt prison guards in a Florida state prison today. The gunman was certainly scummy for engaging in extortion, prostitution and breach of duty as a law enforcement officer, and I understand his shame and desire to end his own pitiful life. But he is despicable for taking the life of someone else . . . someone who was just doing their job.
