Excellent post and it explains exactly how I feel about this mess, here in SoCal. BlueCaliDem Feb 2013 #1
I pretty much... Never agree with you... Ohio Joe Feb 2013 #2
Are we allowed to be as sensible as this on this particular topic? Squinch Feb 2013 #3
Dorner has nothing to add to the LAPD conversation. randome Feb 2013 #4
Sometimes it take an act of extreme violence to shine a light on evil, MadHound Feb 2013 #11
Dorner thought everyone but him was to blame for his problems. randome Feb 2013 #14
Everyone? Is that consistent with his memo (aka "manifesto") AnotherMcIntosh Feb 2013 #39
His rants went back to perceived slights against him before LAPD rustydog Feb 2013 #72
One ex-girlfriend put him on Dontdatehimgirl.com! MADem Feb 2013 #48
Are you truly that ignorant of the history and reputation of the LAPD? MadHound Feb 2013 #60

Other than the fact that he's why we're talking about the LAPD right now. Comrade Grumpy Feb 2013 #58
We've been working on it for a long time, way before Dorner popped up. cui bono Feb 2013 #65
Now if Dorner had taken time to document all those abuses then he could have done some good. dkf Feb 2013 #5
Of course he did. He ruined any chance at sympathy or credibility morningfog Feb 2013 #16
you honestly believe that they will reopen the case now? frylock Feb 2013 #51
I admire police that are willing to tell the truth about police abuses Bonobo Feb 2013 #6
Great post. I agree with just about every word. n/t Moses2SandyKoufax Feb 2013 #7
based on his actions he doesn't really have crediblity JI7 Feb 2013 #8
Dorner being a mass murderer is ALL the story is. Bad cops are 100% IRRELEVANT to the story. graham4anything Feb 2013 #9
Well, at minimum, just the consideration that the LAPD fired upon three innocents, multiple times, MadHound Feb 2013 #12
without Dorner, there would have been no collateral. graham4anything Feb 2013 #18
No matter what theKed Feb 2013 #29
Meh. Dorner made them do it. jsr Feb 2013 #33
correct. graham4anything Feb 2013 #34
You, sir, theKed Feb 2013 #38

Psychological evaluation recommended theKed Feb 2013 #64
LA Times does not agree with you... Bluenorthwest Feb 2013 #69
Wait, what?! MadHound Feb 2013 #54
without Dorner, there was no collateral damage graham4anything Feb 2013 #62
Know any cops? Got any cops in the family? MadHound Feb 2013 #63
"Dorner being a mass murderer is ALL the story is" Cali_Democrat Feb 2013 #22
My thoughts exactly! DrewFlorida Feb 2013 #10
I disagree with geek tragedy Feb 2013 #13
I posted this earlier in another thread: Sheldon Cooper Feb 2013 #15
I am much less likely to pay attention to anyone who holds Dorner up as some kind of hero. So at DevonRex Feb 2013 #19
Thank you Canuckistanian Feb 2013 #21
Bingo. Little Star Feb 2013 #47
Glad you agree Canuckistanian Feb 2013 #59
And Dorner's actions will set back the effects to clean up the department. iandhr Feb 2013 #23
Only we can do that. n/t DeSwiss Feb 2013 #28
But SoCal PD response to him has turned all eyes upon them. Then they told media to Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #30
The LAPD is not a person. SCVDem Feb 2013 #24
No the LAPD is not a person it is an institution Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #49
I want to see the results of the shooting board SCVDem Feb 2013 #57

K&R DeSwiss Feb 2013 #27
All we know so far about the reason Dorner was fired... Honeycombe8 Feb 2013 #31
Oh I have no doubt that Dormer had something "wrong" with him, MadHound Feb 2013 #55
Post removed Post removed Feb 2013 #32
That's putting a lot of credence in the words of a terrorist. SCVDem Feb 2013 #35
First post on DU to claim Dorner was killed to keep him silent. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #36
He murdered a police officer's daughter to "break the gang's rule of silence"? uppityperson Feb 2013 #40
That poster is no longer with us, nt geek tragedy Feb 2013 #42
right on all points, eom arely staircase Feb 2013 #37
Well said, I totally agree Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #41
DURec, but not many here... bvar22 Feb 2013 #43
Unfortunately it's not just here that few are capable of nuance, gray area thinking or multitasking Fumesucker Feb 2013 #45
These are entirely separate issues. baldguy Feb 2013 #44
No other police department in the country would have refrained from shooting the wrong vehicles? Fumesucker Feb 2013 #46
Differently how? MadHound Feb 2013 #56
evidently these very salient points escape many.. frylock Feb 2013 #50
More than that DonCoquixote Feb 2013 #52
Very well stated. Similar, in fact, to the LA Times editorial on the same subject. Bluenorthwest Feb 2013 #70
