The wrong kind of criminal minds

While watching "Criminal Minds" Derailed 23 November 2005 (Season 1, Episode 9) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0550488/combined I was a little surprised to hear mention of UAlbany campus shooter Ralph Tortorici.

"In August 1992, when Tortorici was 24 years old, he went to the University Health Center at SUNY-Albany and complained that a microchip had been implanted in his penis"

UAlbany police proved to be incompetent in the case. Not only did they fail to prevent an armed, mentally ill gunman from getting onto campus and taking a lecture hall full of students hostage, for hours they (and other local law enforcement agencies) failed to disarm him. Students ultimately had to disarm him, apparently since nobody else cared about their safety enough to do so. UAlbany police have only gotten worse since.
