In reply to the discussion: Interesting excerpt from Dorner's manifesto [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)23. LAPD has been out of control for decades...
I read all 11K words. While Dorner is a troubled individual, what he wrote f LAPD was all but surprising.
What he wrote of his childhood perhaps should have screened him out of police work to begin with, but what he writes of LAPD tells me Rampart never ended. The Feds should look into it, perhaps federal department receivership is in order.
That does not justify murder, but explains it. Oh and his targets so far have not been accidental, LAPD, on the other hand, are.

It should be, but I don't know that his posted manifesto is related to the truth

After they catch him (alive, hopefully)... the feds should investigate the LAPD. nt

No excuse can be made for murder but sure sounds like an abused and tormented person

In most cases, being called a nigger is much more than being called a mean name

He's also rather pissed that his COWORKERS call him that same name rather recently.
