No whistleblower protections while you’re on probation?
As long as you don't mind adult langauge and mind-numbing stupidity it is very informative. Funny as hell, too. Of course, it is now over 110 pages - so make sure you have some free time.
Here is another repost from one who supposedly knew him in College and service. Sounds like the guy is more crazy/lazy/angry affirmative action than anything else. Does not mean he cannot get a lot of things right in spite of all that. "I've known Chris Dorner since 1997 while we were at college together at Southern Utah University. Upon graduation from college I headed off to prepare for Marine OCS. He had aspirations to do the same. While as a poolie awaiting to go he had trouble meeting the PFT requirements (specifically the 3 mile run) the OSO basically told him to go away and try again when you can meet the requirements. I left for Marine OCS and after TBS. During this time I learned he had gone to Navy OCS. He was at Navy OCS while I was in Pensacola for API (Pre flight training). We reconnected there and became very close and looked forward to our military careers. He subsequently upon OCS graduation attended API as well. I talked him into coming out to Vance AFB in Enid, Ok with me to go fly the T-37. I was excited to have a friend go attend flight school with me. He was a couple of classes behind me so I felt I could assist him with lessons I learned. Well....Flight School quickly became too much for him. He had trouble with air sickness, he was always unprepared and was way behind the airplane. He was failing tests academically. Ultimately he washed out of flight training. In his opinion this wasn't his fault and it was the instructors who had it out for him. When he tried to pull that card I called BS on it and pointed to his lack of studying and preparation. Told him maybe he should play less video games and other extra curricular activities. Thats when he became upset with me, feeling I had turned my back on him. He then made allegations against me that threatened my completing flight training. That was unsubstantiated and obviously I completed and continued on with my career. This is where I saw his vengeful side. Here is the underlying thing with Dorner and what may have lead to this extreme lashing out. Everything he had tried to accomplish he has failed. Marines..Failed, Navy..Flight School...Failed. LAPD ....Failed. That was the straw that broke the camels back. He always was a troubled individual....and really this doesn't surprise me one bit. He is just out trying to make a name for himself. Just can't believe things got this bad for him, but he has a history. I have a lot more dirt, but Ill leave it with this wall of text. Hes a nutjob and its sad it had to come to this."
Note this:

No. But being able to play the affirmative action card gives some protection. I have seen quite a bit of self delusion in these cases. It is very easy (and human) to blame others for your own failings.
