In reply to the discussion: What is the salient difference between Dorner and a terrorist? [View all]Xipe Totec
(43,888 posts)5 a.m. on Thursday, Police received a radio call saying a truck matching Dorners gray Nissan Titan was spotted near the home of a high-ranking LAPD officer. A few minutes later, a truck rolled down the officers street in Torrance. As the vehicle slowly approached, officers at the house opened fire, unloading a barrage of bullets into the back of the truck.
But
The truck was a Toyota Tacoma not a Nissan Titan.
The color was aqua blue, not gray.
And inside the truck wasnt Dorner, a large black man, but two not-large Hispanic women Margie Carranza, 47, and her mother, Emma Hernandez, 71 delivering newspapers.
But hey, not to worry, folks, the LAPD Chief Charlie Beck has already excused this criminal stupidity: the officers were understandably edgy:
