I don’t admire him.
They aren’t trying to send him any kind of message, I don’t think. They’re trying to send a message to everybody else. I would guess that they’re a bit shocked at how many people either see Dorner as a folk hero, or at least sympathise with him even if they think he crossed a line. And that’s before these fucking bufoons lit up a couple of old ladies. The LAPD has a bit of an image problem and they know they need to fix it.
Of course, they won’t do what actually needs to be done, they won’t fix any real problems, but for now they’ll happily do a bit of theatre to show the world how seriously they are taking this.
According to Charlie Beck, Police Chief, it’s to open it to the public. Not to re-examine his termination.
In other words, trust us, public. The guy was fired because he’s an ass.
That always disappoints me too, as Rule 34 doesn’t cover ceiling fan pulls, cotton balls and anteaters. < sigh >
Made you look! :)*
one million dollar reward now.
the officer who shot and killed a prostrate and unarmed man got off with less than 7 months jail after sentencing. don’t get your hopes up.

(I realize this point has probably already been addressed but I am just now reading this)
No, all I am saying is that his testimony (and that of the suspect)-by itself-prove nothing. Add to that the fact that the testimony of the suspect’s father conflicted with the suspect’s story, the fact that the testimony of several witnesses at the scene conflicted with Dorner’s story and the fact that Dorner had a pre-existing grudge against the officer he accused of abuse and it’s not controversial at all that he got fired.
Do even you people lionizing Dorner seriously believe he was anything other than impulsively violent during his tenure on the force? The guy is a snarling bag of indiscriminant murderous rage, and I’ll bet you money that that’s the whole reason he ever joined the damn LAPD in the first place.
What proof do you have Dorner was “impulsively violent during his tenure on the force”?
So, in other words, you think he was lying? Like I said before, if that’s true, Dorner must have the imagination of that rivals Bobby from Bobby’s World and missed his true calling to as a fiction writer.
He was shown to be lying. By numerous sources.
That’s what the LAPD want you to think. 
Does the guy in the picture have an M14?
Posted this in the Pit thread too…there’s live video/news updates here.
Oh dear…CBS just had a prank call.
“You’re a real dumbass…don’t you know this is a prank…cut off”
Yes! Pretty immature, but I giggled.
Mini-14 I think.
Well, that settles it doesn’t it? The officers he accused of conspiring against him, were, in fact, a part of his vivid imagination. None of the those things happened and he’s going on a “rampage” for no reason. No wonder there’s so many people here claiming he’s mentally insane, you guys genuinely believe he made that shit up from whole cloth and is now on a killing rampage because he has a warped and delusional view of what really occurred. I can’t say I find it original or intriguing, but it’s convenient as hell.
