It’s kind of hard to stamp out white racism against blacks when a black man who feels he is a victim of white racism considers the appropriate remedy to be murdering an asian and a black in cold blood.
That sort of thing just typifies a stereotype against blacks that they are impulsively violent and stupid.
Hardly an effective approach.
Although this fellow has done is worsen racism.
a statement which can be applied to both parties in this mess. i do hope that the cops involved with the truck shooting get off lightly. that would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the LAPD is a criminal organisation, if shooting innocent civilians without cause is not proof enough.
I find your child-like notions of bravery not very intriguing.
Wait. So it’s “brave” to shoot two people sitting in a car as retaliation for being fired from a job where you “protect and serve”?
No, it’s not “brave”. Did I say that? It is however brave to stand up to racists in police blues who will take revenge for breaking rank.
and so there is a second truck, and another innocent civilian being shot at. my sympathies to the real cops in the department.
It wasn’t just the two women and their truck. It sounds like they shot up the whole neighborhood. They hit two parked vehicles at one house. The front door of another… all of this and:
(a) obviously the license plate wasn’t registered to the man
(b) the vehicle was not the same model or color
(c) there were TWO female occupants, not one very large man.
(d) it is claimed that there was no warning of any sort, they just opened fire
Holy heck! These are police officers acting like a mob drive by shooting.
Is Dorner making his case?
Yes, if only he had done that.
Sounds like a war between bad and worse. You’ve got Dorner, who murdered two innocent bystanders, and you’ve got the LAPD, who have shot at three innocent bystanders so far in inept attempts to murder Dorner.
From your link:
Are these cops seriously color blind?
How many rounds have they fired off and not managed to actually kill anyone. Fortunate for the innocent people who’ve been attacked so far. But they sure aren’t alive for lack of LAPD trying to kill them.
At this rate, Dorner could just lay low and lets the LAPD waste time and money looking for him. If the LAPD keeps it up, they may single-handedly bankrupt their liability insurer (or the city of LA?).
He did, during the episode Locrian mentioned in post #101, unless you don’t believe Dorner’s account.
Yes, by leaping over the front seat and choking one officer, while in retrospect, wished he had shot both of them in the skull, and was quite detailed in the ammunition he wished he used.
It appears he was fired not for one incident in ratting out his training officer, but for many violations.
Since we’re back to his manifesto, he claimed he won’t “come out of this alive”, which doesn’t mean they’ll bomb his ass, just that when cops shout, “Drop your weapon,” he won’t and will fire till he’s dead. Suicide by cops-- the career choice he opted for, fired by, how ironic.
As a citizen, I am right now fearful of the law enforcement hit squads that are shooting up pickup trucks. None of those police officers involved in any of the “hey, look! A pickup! Kill 'em all!” episodes will be fired. Not one.
you’re very optimistic aren’t you? i think most owners of trucks of any make are considering leaving them in the garage.
MPSIMS: I know two of the people he mentioned by name in his manifesto. Both of them were in the ‘I like you, so I won’t murder your daughter’ section.
I am still waiting for someone in the media to call him “Rambo”.
There are rare instances in which an injustice upon a person by an individual (or group) cannot be erased with “I’m sorry,” or by turning the other cheek. In these rare moments, retribution is called for, an element of vengeance, of kind of restorative counterweight to force balance upon the scales of justice. This act serves as a much-needed warning to the functional sociopaths in positions of power and others: be careful who you fuck over.
Would that happen to include Al Sharpton?
And what if the officers are punished? What shall that do to your brilliant thesis?
This wasn’t even remotely any sort of an “injustice” which would call for going around murdering people barely related to the case. This argument can be used just as easily to justify anti-abortion violence.
