A few hours later, at his sister's apartment, he killed two more officers before succumbing to his own injuries.
This incident has been described as the worst California cop-killing case since 1970. See Wikipedia account of this tragedy for details.
Azrael's (angel of death) mechanisms of facilitating death are complex and multifarious. But they can be classified into two broad categories - ACTIVE and PASSIVE. The best analogy for explaining this is the hunter and the hunted.
In the active scenario, the hunter pursues the prey and will terminate any target in his sights. The passive scenario occurs when the hunter has got his feet up and is enjoying a cup of coffee. If the prey happens to wander into the hunter's coffee break, the hunter will seize the opportunity even though he had no specific intention at the time.
The passive option is known as an "Open Door". Click here for other posts dealing with this subject.
In Oakland, at 1:08pm PDT on March 21, 2009, Azrael had opened a door. No-one had to walk through it. There was no pressure on anyone to walk through it. But in their ignorance, the cops walked through. If the arrest scene had played out 10 minutes (perhaps as few as 5 minutes) later, there would have been a completely different result.
In an ideal world, astrology would be a respected science and police officers everywhere would carry hand-held devices which identify these open doors. Such devices could be referered to when planning a stop and inspection. In an ideal world, the arresting officers would have delayed their engagement with Mixon until Azrael's Open Door had closed again.
Bottom line: those who engage in high-risk activity in the space-time proximity of an Open Door are prone to dying.
It is simple matter to scan ahead for locations in space-time which contain the same toxic potential as prevailed in Oakland in March 09. It would also be simple to then identify the Open Doors. But I cannot do this for the whole planet as there are not enough hours in the day. If someone comes with a specific request specifying location and time frame, then the scan becomes feasible.
