He spray-painted this image all over the city to plant the idea in Zeke's head, as William wanted Zeke to be a part of his solution. But within that chain of events, William sees moments for cleansing, evoking the symbolism of evolution and progress associated with a spiral. The problem goes round and round, just like a spiral. Just because William eliminates some crooked cops, the problem won't go away. The prestige of enforcement can easily corrupt people, meaning new dirty cops are always emerging. As he tells Zeke, a spiral is a symbol of change, evolution, and progress. During his reveal as the killer, he explains the significance of that symbolism to Chris Rock's Zeke William sees himself as a hero working to fix a broken system, but it's not a straight line to get to his end result. When William is still acting anonymously as the killer, he leaves spiral symbols at the scenes of his murders as a calling card of sorts. William revealed to Zeke in his final, villainous monologue that he wanted them to work together to take down dirty cops, and he put Zeke through the wringer in Spiral to see if he was worthy. Zeke was a good and honest cop, so William spared him.
To tie back into his theme of justice, William killed each cop in ways he believed were deserving of the crimes they committed for example, he ripped the tongue out of the cop who repeatedly committed perjury. He targeted police officers who had committed injustices, such as lying on the stand or shooting unarmed civilians. As an ode to Kramer's puppet, William created a figure wearing a pig's head, representing the derogatory nickname for police officers. He decided to take them out in a manner that emulated the Jigsaw killer. Since Zeke was the only good cop in William's eyes, William decided the rest needed to be killed.
Once Spiral's ending revealed that William was the little boy whom Zeke comforted that day, it was clear that Zeke was the only police officer William ever respected. Despite doing the right thing, Zeke was labeled a snitch by his fellow police officers and completely ostracized by his department. Zeke comforted the man's young son after the murder took place. Zeke reported the offense, ultimately putting his partner in jail for murder and, really, abusing his power. In the middle of Spiral, a distinct tattoo identifies William as the killer's latest victim, but the movie's final moments reveal that William actually faked his death and was the real killer behind each murder. The Saw sequel repeatedly calls back to the moment that altered Zeke's career forever for reasons unbeknownst to him, Zeke's partner opened fire on a civilian, falsely claiming the man pulled a gun on him first.
