Does any one else find it just a little...strange...that the news is just kind of glossing over the whole "Cops shot at the wrong truck...twice" thing?

Maybe I'm not looking in the right spots. They all *mention* it, but none of them are focusing on it much.

Wacko's are wacko's, and they're going to be wacky, but when cops start shooting at random people I think that it might be time to re-evaluate your departments force response procedures...

This happens -all- the time, and there are very rarely any implications for it. About the only time an officer is truly disciplined is when there is actual audio/video footage taken by a bystander who is able to get away before their camera is destroyed.


And, they are on paid leave until they are investigated by their fellow officers. Look at the psycho lib extremist, he got burned for crossing that 'thin blue line', they all know when happens when they punish one of their own.

Disgusting.

Must everything in the news be used to try and score political points for your side or tarnish the other?

Hell, even if he truly is a tree hugging leftist that really isn't the relevant part of your description. The relevant part is "psycho", psycho assholes tend to do psychotic shit regardless of their political leanings.

The people who have derailed this thread into a political tit for tat should be ashamed of themselves.

With that said, I do agree with your first paragraph.

I think the thread is fine. There's another thread in OT that is a more direct discussion about the topic.

We need to have a place where we can have a broader conversation, this seems to be it.


In all seriousness.. I don't necessarily think there is any direct correlation between his extremist liberal agenda and his rampage... Yet.. But, it is a factor in the conversation.

None of my local news has said anything.

How many cops did he kill?

Assuming he murdered that couple and shot those cops the he needs to be stopped and brought to justice before he kills someone else.

Assuming the reasons he stated are true, I don't think justice will be found in LA. Internal affairs and/or the FBI need to be investigating this ASAP.

Furthermore, regardless of whether the LAPD is corrupt or not they need to get themselves under control. If they are going to shoot up the populace because they're afraid then they need to turn in their guns. If you can't take the personal risk of being a police officer turn in your badge.

A shooting early morning at LAPD Headquarters has been reported to KTLA as a case of mistaken identity.

Officer Lewis reportedly opened fire when he opened a news story on his laptop.
According to Officer Lewis, "I clicked on a story to read the latest reports about Dorner, and all of a sudden I see him right in front of me."
Apparently the Officer shouted commands and the picture of Dorner was not responsive so he opened fire hitting 2 other Officers on the other side of his cubicle.
The laptop was not available for questioning.

Lies!

It's plainly obvious that this laptop was shot while it was closed.

I hope the crooked LAPD will never catch this guy. He should be given a medal for his bravery.

Yeah because shooting up unarmed innocent kids of these cops is real brave. Dudes psycho period and should be worm food. Not political like last 5 pages want to affix to him, he's crazy and so are you if you really feel that way after having thought this through.

If he targeted complicit officers directly I still have a problem with it cause i'm a law and order kinda guy for most part and world would be pretty screwed up if everyone with a beef just started blasting but I understand. Like Chris Rock said about OJ, I understand.

He didn't kill the daughter of the cop for the purpose of inflicting damage. He did it because the daughter played a part in testifying against him that resulted in him being fired. I'm not saying it's right for him to kill her, but she's not entirely innocent in his eyes.

What do you guys think:

1. Is he hunkering down in the mountains/snow, possibly planing an ambush etc? or

2. Did he dump his truck (and burn it) there to misdirect/occupy the police while he escapes elsewhere?

He truck was a decoy. He's planned this for a while and any good planning would have continguencies and countermeasures.

Are you sure I didnt read that. Why would a daughter of his attorney have anything to do at trial. Still does not explain her boyfriend getting killed for being at wrong place wrong time.

His eyes are crazed narcissist serial killer so don't even bother looking for justification. Only justifiable reason to kill someone is self defense. You or them life or death not a silly job or your feelings were hurt.

2) Guys trying to GTFO. Obviously a coward by his victim choices IMO. Talked way too much and has made a ton of mistakes already and realizes his goals are futile. The attempted boat theft I think shows he is trying to make a border run.

I feel bad for how this will affect the majority of cops that aren't dirtbags. I must say his crazy manifesto, is the best crazy manifesto I've ever read

If he is somehow captured alive he will likely publish a book which would be a good read.

How is CA's death penalty?

He made it about politics with all the far left extreme political views expressed in the manifesto. He goes so far as saying he could have been stopped by an assault weapons ban, praising Feinstein urging her to "think of the children" and that he shouldn't be allowed to have the weapons he's using.

He made it very much about politics.

Only a severely biased person who was interested in nothing more than dinging the other side would come to that conclusion. The sane people would read his manifesto and come to the conclusion that his perceived wronging by the LAPD organization is the sole motivation for his actions. Had he been a Republican the results would be the same.

What is really sad is that you don't realize that you do your own side harm by spouting this retarded shit. So the irony is that in your efforts to hurt the other side you are doing the exact opposite.

It might be amusing to you but intelligent discourse this is not.

His actions are showing that politics was not his motivator and that the LAPD is in fact his sole motivator. He isn't going after politicians or people on the right, he is going after the LAPD.

Seems as the manifesto was written by two different people, of the same person at sufferer times ans states of mind.

First half is a detailed rant against the LAPD, with clues for people to follow.

The second is a leftist political rant that would be ignored if not for his actions.

Oh HELL no, HELL FUCKING no you don't. The manifesto is dripping with with extremist far left liberal views, even praising the media who fueled his murdering rage along with Feinstein. This fucker was cock gobbling Joe Biden for christ sake!

Had he been a republican praising Sara Palin you know it would be front page news 24x7. So far even CNN is STILL saying "11 page manifesto", trying to sweep it under the rug.

I'm not trying to hurt the other side, only expose them. Are you going to try and say this is not some extremist liberal wack job next? Hell, his manifesto reads like the liberal loons on this site word for word almost.

Are you ready to demand MSNBC apologize for fueling his mass murdering rage?

The son of a bitch didn't just ruin it, he shat on it, picked up his shit and flung it around. The guy is truly horrible. I really wanted this thread to be a repository for new information about the events going on but now it's full of shit.

The biggest part of this story is a far left extremist going on a murdering rampage. Let's not forget he is a far left extremist who loved his liberal TV newscasters.
