He wrote that "the police here beat me up for knowing [probably an auto-correct for "knocking"] on my neighbor's door.. they sent me to the hospital." I have been unable to find any San Francisco area hospital with a record of his admission. Murdock wrote that he had been assaulted by the police, had his clothes ripped off, and was told, "We're the police, we can do whatever the fuck we want." He also wrote, "they beat the shit out of me twice, then charged me $25,000 to get out of jail for battery against THEM." This implies he had been arrested and booked at an area court. He may also have actually been in jail but I have been unable to find a record of the arrest. Murdock also vented his anger at the police. "(1/2) The rest of my life will be devoted to fighting against police abuse.. I'm white, I made $1.4 million last year, (2/2) They are uneducated, bitter, and and only interested in power for its own sake. Contact me imurdock@imurdock.com if you can help. -ian" After leaving the courtroom, presumably a magistrate court, Murdock tweeted that he had been followed home by the police and assaulted again. He continued, "I'm not committing suicide today. I'll write this all up first, so the police brutality ENDEMIC in this so call free country will be known." He added, "Maybe my suicide at this, you now, a successful business man, not a N****R, will finally bring some attention to this very serious issue." His last tweet stated: "I am a white male, make a lot money, pay a lot of money in taxes, and yet their abuse is equally doned out. DO NOT CROSS THEM!?" He appears to have died that night, December 28. At the time of this writing, the cause of death remains unknown.
