During the April 2014 Bundy standoff , in which the Bureau of Land Management ( BLM ) attempted to round up cattle belonging to rancher Cliven Bundy , who refused to vacate public land , Jerad was said to have been among the armed protesters who joined Bundy during the incident . According to Bundy 's son , Ammon Bundy , the Millers were present during the standoff for a few days , but had been instructed by a militia member to leave due to " their radical beliefs " , which did not align with the protest 's main issues . They were also instructed to leave because Jerad was a felon in possession of a firearm . Carol Bundy later commented , " I have not seen or heard anything from the militia and others who have came to our ranch that would , in any way , make me think they had an intent to kill or harm anyone . " During the standoff , Jerad had made interviews with other protesters at the ranch , and was also interviewed by CNN , NBC News affiliate KRNV-DT , and other news stations , during which he said : Jerad posted several online videos in which he was dressed as the Joker . In one video , he expressed a strong hatred for law enforcement and police officers in general , warning in an online video that they " can not be trusted " . In another , he denounced the US government as being oppressive , especially criticizing their measures at gun control , surveillance , and their treatment of Cliven Bundy . Friends of the Millers reported that they idolized Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold , the two perpetrators of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre , and wanted to follow in their footsteps . The Millers ' ideology about the government has been described as " along the lines of militia and white supremacists " by a police official . During the shooting , the Millers placed a swastika on the body of slain officer Alyn Beck and hung a Gadsden flag on the crime scene ; police officials remarked that this act did n't signify the Millers were white supremacists , but instead was intended to associate police officers with Nazism
