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. |

He definitely has a persecution complex. I can imagine that he was hard as hell to get along with as well, as he seems extremely self-righteous and probably dogmatic to the point of seeming nearly autistic. His people skills likely sucked ass, in other words.
That doesn't make him wrong, though, but I can imagine that this guy wasn't exactly a good team player (not that being a team player is always a good thing, especially if you play for a team of crooks, thieves, and murderers).

They drew first blood, not me.......
Are you telling me that 200 men against your boy is a no-win situation for us? You send that many, don't forget one thing. What? A good supply of body bags. |

Dorner was last seen with an M60 outside of Brian Dennehey's house.

This guy is a big problem for any PD, they’re probably going to have to bring in some other military snipers to hunt him down.

I have no doubt they will bring in snipers, but first they have to find him.

Something tells me that was a fair amount of sensationalizing at work by the media. He appears to be a qualified expert marksman, but if you gave me a week or so to get back into shooting form, I could possibly qualify expert as well. It takes a very good shot, but not a great one. And being a qualified marksman damn sure doesn't make you a 'sniper' in the sense that we think of; a guy hiding in bushes with windage instruments covered in deer piss so he doesn't spook the local fauna. He's going to be a tough target, but lets not act like he's about to start dropping guys at 1,000 meters or anything.

I believe the military has heat sensor devices they can point at the area he is in and pick up body movement and pin point him. Add a drone for watching him from above and shoot a missile at him. Technology is cool. |

I wonder how far it would have to go before they brought the military in.

They won't need military. They might need FBI because he may not even be in California anymore. But eventually he'll need money to keep going and someone's going to see him, and then they'll find him.
