Former LAPD officer on rampage in So Cal

(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.

I do doubt, however, that Random Joe Cop was in charge of the entire operation and happened to be near an open mic when he decided to burn down the cabin two hours before it happened.

Had that tank ignited, it would've created a fireball you could see from the damn moon.

The propane tank didn't ignite and it's extremely unlikely that any propane that may have come from a leak ignited either.

I don't know why you're digging your heels in here - you cited a lousy example to debunk a conspiracy theory and now you're defending it to the last. Again - the most likely scenario is that an inert object caught on fire.

Your scenario, OTOH, is only slightly less likely than one where Dorner dragged in a dead body and set it on fire himself in order to distract police. Though given that you had this guy as Rambo's black cousin 3 days ago, you may not see that as terribly unlikely.

Dunno, but I do know he picked the wrong week to stop taking amphetamines.

Guys, let's not pile on the Chris Dorner death jokes. Remember, somebody lost a vacation home here.

Dorner gives up drinking

[Easy 6]

He picked the flimsiest, smallest looking cabin in the area for his last stand... great tactics Mr. Asymmetrical Warfare.

Oh I agree...I'm just saying, if there is a cover up, they do it real good out there...hell, he might have tried to give himself up and the shot him anyway.

Who knows.

Maybe but he has already cost taxpayers enough and would have surely gotten the death penalty... He just got it quicker and cheaper..

I know I know, that's not how we do things here.........

In this case, I would really have liked a trial. See this guy go down, and probably a bunch of the corrupt LAPD with him. Now, none of that is going to happen. LAPD wins.

Like I said, once he killed a woman, winged a cop and then went into hiding when he should've been out there inflicting as much damage as possible before a counter-offensive could be mounted, I pretty much lost my thought that we were dealing with Rambo here.

He was a pissed off ex-cop with some weapons training and a proficient rating from the Navy. In other words, he was slightly better prepared to take on the PD than you and I would've been and nowhere near as prepared as your average mountain man.

We shot up a couple of asian ladies and a handful of vehicles over a pretend boogeyman. Nicely done, LAPD.
