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. |

I'm not sure how he's "much more dangerous" than a sniper?

He's more mobile, more knowledgeable, and better armed than a typical sniper.

He's been too quiet for too long. I'm guessing they find him leaning up against a tree with half a dome here in the near future.

He's got the best training in the world and he could hide under a refrigerator box with mud on his face and not even be noticed in an alley with his head down. Him going all "Rambo" and taking to the woods sounds like BS to me...

He's a ****ing mass-murdering psychopath. There's no justification for his actions. None. There's no reason to feel one iota of sympathy for him. It doesn't matter if he feels like somebody wronged him: there's no excuse for him to be a ****ing mass-murdering psychopath, and anyone who roots for him in any way is a ****ing idiot. I hope somebody shoots his dick off and he bleeds to death as slowly as painfully as possible. |

'Sniper' isn't really a role; it's a qualification given to the highest of the high speed. In essence, you take a SEAL (or some other high-end unit, depending on the branch) that was already qualified in all that stuff, you see that he is a crack shot, then you send him out to a long-distance range every day until he can shoot flees off a dogs ass. A 'Sniper' is going to have all the training you're discussing. That guy was trained to do all of that stuff well before he was given a big !@#$ing rifle and told to lay still for awhile. And if they took his big !@#$ing rifle away, he'd be more than capable of gutting you with a rock while surviving off his own piss.
