Sorry, but I cannot support Dorner,

95. Based on how the first Ramparts scandal got pretty much swept under the rug, save

for picking off the low-lying fruit, I'm not holding my breath that this will lead to the LAPD being 'exposed' and 'cleaned up.'

An unpleasant truth for many of us on the left is that many people in LA, while feeling and expressing a generalized hostility to the LAPD, don't give enough of a shit to see to it that real reforms happen.

Hence, LAPD sent 1500 goons in to break up the Occupy Los Angeles camp of some 300 souls, in the process trampling under foot the U.S. Constitution and California State Constitutions just as surely as they trampled the tents under foot. Did anyone other than Occupiers say one word in opposition? No, hell no. I rest my case.

I wonder whether we will ever know whether Dorner watched what happened when Occupy Los Angeles remained non-violent to the bitter end and drew his own inferences about the bitter fruits of non-violence with regard to the LAPD.
