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. |

Do note that he's had a few years to bulk up his craziness as well as eat many krispy kremes. You must be making a case for stricter and frequent mental screenings for gun owners.

Is it your belief that Dorner was perfectly sane until he was no longer a police officer?

Well our mental health care system is pretty screwed in this country. The only problem I would have with mental health screenings for potential gun owners is that they might not be effective, or thorough, enough.

The answer to that question is irrelevant to what I'm pointing out. As I've already stated, my intent is not to engage in gun control discourse - only to point out that your statement was, and is, fallacious.

So you can't answer the question? Yeah, I figured as much. You're still trying vainly to pretend that my statement has no merit when in fact it speaks to the heart of this entire discussion. As I said earlier, if you need to pretend that removing a uniform can magically turn a sane person into a crazy one then by all means continue on. Sweet dreams, dear.
