LAPD as judge, jury, and executioner

If you’re a disingenuous creep intent on painting a target, I’m not surprised. Keep trying.

And we’re down to one-liners. With luck I can get back to talking to the adults now.

Y’know there’ve been plenty of spree killers who were disgruntled employees who claimed they’d been mistreated.

Is it possible that Dormer really was framed by the LAPD? Sure. It’s also possible that the last guy who went postal after being fired really was unjustly fired.

However, until being presented with really compelling evidence that the guy who went postal was unjustifiably fired, I’m going to assume that the guy who massacred a bunch of people deserved to be fired.

Similarly, until compelling evidence is put forward showing Dormer was mistreated I’m going to assume that whoever fired him was right and, on top of that, probably a good judge of character.

Yes we are. I gave you plenty of chances at adult discourse, like when I asked you to please be specific about your gripe and you characterized it as nitpicking because murder.

Not to mention this:

Sure, that’s just what he wants you to think. That way, nobody will suspect that HE is the mastermind behind the plot to poison the water supply. He’ll get away with it too, unless Dorner (and the plucky yet cute computer scientist, who also recently widowed and raising a son on her own) blows the lid off the whole scheme!

I also find you unintelligent so at least that’s something we share in common.

Gotta love the irony, from someone who accuses me of being vapid.

Lets not forget those meddling kids!

And I was right. If you’re trolling, you don’t have enough nerve to stand behind what you wrote, so you’ll never be any good at it. If you’re arguing sincerely, you’re a coward in addition to being a whiny idiot. You da man.

Troll? Coward? You really think such weak sauce is going to push my buttons? I’m insulted man.

I may come back to give you another verbal beat down, time permitting.

That was the general idea.

Because this deserves answering:

Ok, I’ll give you that. I didn’t say on which side of that debate I would be, if I were to be somehow dragged into such a thing. Hint: I don’t think it was necessary. I never said it and I don’t believe it.

That doesn’t negate whatever positive outcome might come out of this tragic turn of events, like cleaning up the LAPD and clearing Dorner’s name in his employment dispute, if indeed he was wrongfully discharged for whistleblowing, like I believe he was.

And if you (and I mean general you here, not Marley23, not anyone in specific - I don’t think that breaks any pit rules) ask me if that justifies murder, fuck you.

(bolding mine)Why do you believe that he in particular was discharged for whistleblowing? Do you have any cites, or is this just an unsubstantiated excuse?

Oh God, I nearly spit up coffee all over my keyboard.

Can’t it be just opinion?

I believe it because of what he wrote in his manifesto.

EDIT: And of course also because of the history of racism, corruption and collusion in the LAPD.

You believe what he wrote without any substantiation whatsoever, and you aren’t on his side?

You’ll have to explain why that is so puzzling to you.

You could also explain how many sides there are and why I have to take one.

Finally Czarcasm, you should know that I think you are absolutely incapable of putting forth an argument in good faith and need to improve on your baiting.

Please continue.

That’s the difference then! I’m not willing to be an apologist, and give them the benefit of the doubt, 'cause, hey, it wasn’t my elderly Mom. Unlike yourself.

Can’t make head or tail of the rest of your post though. I’m neither wanting to, nor ever going to shoot at anyone’s car though, if that helps any to allay your fears.

Cops should be held to a higher standard than Joe Citizen, we trust them with both power and weapons.

If you or I would be jailed and tried for shooting someone in the street without cause, they should be too, sorry that ‘but I was fighting crime’, when there is none in evidence, should not give them an instant pass. Why do they still have jobs? Why are they still on the payroll? Because they correctly feel like a protected class. Even for shooting innocent women in the street. Seems more like a lesser standard from where I sit, not a higher one.

You have no doubt about any of his rambling manifesto, even though he has murdered innocent civilians? This act does not raise doubt in your mind as to his sanity and/or ability to tell truth from falsehood?
