Former LAPD officer on rampage in So Cal
http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/07/us/lap...html?sr=fbmain
(CNN) -- A former Los Angeles police officer who police say has violently threatened his former colleagues shot at least two officers early Thursday, killing one, sparking a huge manhunt in Southern California, according to authorities. Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, is also wanted in a double slaying Sunday in Irvine, California. The California Highway Patrol issued an alert Thursday morning urging officers in several Southern California counties to be on the lookout for Dorner after the overnight shootings. Two officers in Riverside were shot, one fatally, police there confirmed to CNN. CNN affiliate KTLA reported another officer was shot in Corona, California. Irvine police identified Dorner on Wednesday as the suspect in the February 3 deaths of Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan in Irvine. Dorner also has made violent threats against other Los Angeles police officers, the agency said Wednesday. "I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," Dorner allegedly wrote in a lengthy letter promising retribution against the department, where he worked from 2005 until 2008. An LAPD source provided the document to CNN. The letter writer claimed he was terminated for reporting excessive force by a fellow officer, and said his attacks were retribution for his termination, as well as a culture of racism and violence he says continues within the department. He called the attacks against police "a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name." Los Angeles police warned people who encounter Dorner not to approach him, saying he is likely "armed and extremely dangerous." "Our department is implementing all measures possible to ensure the safety of our LAPD personnel, their families and the Los Angeles community, and will continue to do so until Dorner is apprehended and all threats have been abated," police said in a statement. CNN's Mallory Simon and Deanna Hackney contributed to this report. |

it just goes to show that it's not an issue of gun control, assualt weapons, or high capacity magazines.
any walk of life can go on a rampage if they wanted to. why not be able to protect yourself against them.

see, one of the arguments gun grabbers have is that our police and military forces are the only ones that should have guns. this is an example of how a crazy person can still get a badge and carry a gun. its very relevant. sure he is no longer a cop, but at some point in time he was a cop, and my guess is he was just as bat shit crazy then.

Hey! Unless you count the reflections in the mirrors I'm only looking into 2.

So...is it your belief that he was perfectly fine until he no longer wore a uniform of some kind? Wow, this whole thing could have been avoided if he'd just taken that job at the UPS.

DaKCMan is pointing out a rather simple to understand logical syllogism. Said syllogism isn't about the merits of gun control, or lack thereof.
Pointing out fallacious reasoning does not mean you automatically oppose the opinions espoused by the person committing the fallacy. Back to your regularly scheduled hysteria.

I'm not claiming one way or the other. I'm pointing out that this guy isn't a cop and therefore doesn't support - in either direction - the gun control argument regarding cops & guns.

So do you think that most people who go on (apparently psychotic) killing sprees were perfectly sane up until they do so? |
