Apparently, the LAPD has launched its largest ever manhunt. 10,000 or so officers are on the hunt for a man named Christopher Dorner suspected in murdering a former LAPD officer’s daughter, her fiancee and an on-duty cop. Dorner was in the LAPD himself before being fired in 2008 for false statements in connection to allegations his training officer assaulted a mentally ill suspect. He was reportedly serving in the Navy before being honourably discharged recently. He posted a manifesto and “hit list” of people affiliated with the LAPD, although the police won’t officially release the names of those allegedly targeted.
And the guy really likes some celebrities, which he highlighted in his manifesto.

It’s pretty nuts. My wife works in Point Loma where he first tried to steal a boat and that is only blocks from where she works. There’s guards on the schools here and they have warning signs up on all the freeways. I’m hoping that they catch this guy soon.
This is sad. I read his manifesto clearly his life has gone to the pit. Sounds like the police department in the first batman movie, corrupted. And I cant but wonder how he has legally gotten a Barrett .50 for civil use?
I would think that whoever the LAPD’s pre-employment background investigator, that was assigned this guys background, is wishing that he dug a little deeper about now. I would have to believe that the psychological exam would have thrown some red flags; provided that the LAPD mandates a psychological, pre-employment.
I don’t get people who are bashing this guy, This is almost to the T the scenario in the Rambo movie, and everyone thinks Rambo is a badass hero. Same story here, former military man comes home, decides to serve his country further by joining a police force, has run ins with a highly corrupt force who he clashes with, they try to frame him and he fights back.
It is unfortunate that someone who is trying to do the right thing either has to live the rest of their life knowing that the system just butt raped them and they were too weak to change the system, or go on a killing spree rampage to forcibly effect change in a broken system. Unfortunately 10 times out of 10, corrupt and violent people raise to positions of power and authority. And when enough good people get abused by these corrupt, violent people, then the good people have no other means to change the circumstances than to also resort to extreme violence.
I laugh at some comments I read in the news article commentoshpere. “violence is never the answer” Uhhh, are you stupid? Violence is what earned our country it’s independence from an oppresive British regime. Violence has historically been the only answer. If someone is going to kill you and your family, you had better resort to commiting violence on that person before they do it to you. I also find it laughable that almost every news article has put somehwere in the story. “Oh BTW he has an assult rifle” I wouldn’t be too worried about him and his assault rifle, I would ve very afraid of him and his .50 cal sniper rifle though, I mean if I was a corrupt cop.
