They pick the unstable types specifically to be policemen. Did you know, that when people want to join the police force, they have to take an IQ test. If they score above average, they are refused into the job!! Afterall they don't want anyone with a modicum of common sense or being able to think doing the job huh.
Anyhow, according to the news (if this can be believed of course) they have torched the wooden hut he was hiding out in with him inside it....Wako style.
