The hunt for alleged cop killer Christopher Dorner has turned into a major public relations challenge for law enforcement officials, in particular the Los Angeles Police Department working its way back from a history of corruption and abuse.
Not only have hundreds of well-trained officers equipped with military-style vehicles – including helicopters with thermal imaging devices one pilot says can pick out a rabbit in a snowstorm – been unable to find the man charged with killing three people and wounding two others on a rampage aimed at police officers and their families.
The LAPD also has been forced to reexamine the reasons for Mr. Dorner’s dismissal as a police officer in 2009 – brought about, Dorner charges in the 11-page manifesto he posted on Facebook, by racism in the department. And the LAPD is having to make amends to the two people – a middle-aged Hispanic woman and her mother delivering newspapers – wounded when police riddled their truck with gunfire. (The women’s truck was neither the make nor the color of Dorner’s pickup later found abandoned.)
The search for Dorner continued Sunday in and around the San Bernardino mountains east of Los Angeles, but police were on edge and alert to the possibility that the alleged killer had left California. Police in Las Vegas (where Dorner owns property) are now traveling in pairs, and motorcycle patrol officers have been ordered into less-vulnerable cruisers...

Now that they're tied down by 1 guy...............
There are much better places to live than LA
Bunch of animals in that zoo....once they started tolerating gangs it was the beginning of the end....should just build a huge cage around the place.
the Keystone cops shot at a mom and her daughter and a white guy while searching for a large black man, what are they, blind?
I grew up in Chino and wouldn’t move back for anything.
Check it out but Dorner is not going there.
Sad it took all this to get his case reopened. Sad at the loss of life, especially the young girl and her fiance. The anguish of her father. The sadness of the family that lost the 31 year old officer. Is the LAPD internal investigation system so poor it could not detect this trouble?
And what of the behavior the guy describes in his manifesto. How can that be ignored?

Turning a pickup truck into a replica of the Bonnie and Clyde death car with two innocent ladies on board will do that.
I imagine they are also trying to figure out how to catch a 6 foot, 270 lb African American guy without being accused of “racial profiling”.

Rut Roh. You may be right. It would be a “Hate Crime” if anyone of another race shoots him.

The uninformed voter influence has come home to roost.
Evidence the Face book pages, tweets, on-line comments to news stories —
And the news is reporting this stuff, which is supportive of Dorner.
So we now have the same social media participants who elected bo, supporting an anti-authority, ‘unfairly fired,’ minority member, and representative of the oppressed underclass; an anti-hero against the repressive police state.
Use your imagination on where this may go. I think I will give up predicting; I am never extreme enough in my sarcasm.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a headline on a major news story that is actually an understatement until now.
They are darn lucky they didn’t kill any of the 3 people they’ve blindly fired at...so far.
I’m sorry, but that behavior I just don’t understand.
I don’t think the entire police department shot at those two ladies.
“the Keystone cops shot at a mom and her daughter and a white guy while searching for a large black man, what are they, blind?”
Yes, they are color blind. They are looking for a large black male to shoot but they don’t want to be seen as racist so they have to shoot at whites and latinos too. I wonder who their asian victim(s) will be?
This can be classified as equal opportunity incompetence.
Apparently so
Occupy LAPD?
The guy sounds like he’s been a “victim” all his life, not just while at thr LAPD. He just got cut loose from the Navy reserves on Feb 1st due to not “meeting physical requirements”... which might have been a nice way of saying they recognized that he’s nuts.
I don’t think he’s a modern day Serpico.
I’m guessing that this guy is a long way from California at the moment.
And the LAPD is having to make amends to the two people – a middle-aged Hispanic woman and her mother delivering newspapers – wounded when police riddled their truck with gunfire. (The women’s truck was neither the make nor the color of Dorner’s pickup later found abandoned.)
These seven cops are heroes. So is the cop who rammed the morning commuter, then fired 3-4 rounds into his windshield.
“And what of the behavior the guy describes in his manifesto. How can that be ignored?”
When you remember and take the time to list your complaints back to grade school it speaks of his credibility or lack there of.
He probably got cut loose because he could not meet weight standards!
Perhaps. I would guess that’s what sent him on his current rampage, which means he didn’t plan for long at all... just a few days...which means he’s toast.
I thought that was odd also. For such a big man he sure is a wuss. Get over it already.
“We’ve had some pieces on FR over the years about the LA cops being understrength as compared to police forces in other cities. That’s why they hang back in riots ~ allegedly.
Now that they’re tied down by 1 guy...............

I suspect you’ve got a piece of the answer there - the good, i.e., smart, cops have probably re-located to Phoenix, Dallas, any city without CA following it. What’s left is the also-rans.
Same post-adolescent, nihilistic, narcissistic imbeciles who have made Youtube a cesspool of filth...we are heading toward a Soviet-type communist state....
Hundreds of LEOs can’t find one man but Feinstein thinks they’ll be able to confiscate tens of millions of guns someday?
Who told us that Dorner killed this guy and the other two?
LAPD of course.
Now that doesn't mean he isn't the perp, but the source of the information is "tainted" at the minimum.
On the bright side they have enough rabbits now to stock several homeless shelters.

If the police keep going the way they’re going, they just might turn this Dorner creep into a new folk hero of sorts… a modern-day Pretty Boy Floyd.
“the Keystone cops shot at a mom and her daughter and a white guy while searching for a large black man, what are they, blind?”
The Keystone Cops didn’t have real weapons and real authority.
Also, they totalled a guy’s car and put him out of work not far from their shooting, which “is under investigation” (i.e., buried).
Dorner is suspected in three deaths, one in Riverside and the other two in Irvine. Riverside and Irvine have their own PDs with each conducting its own investigation. Both departments are completely independent of the LAPD. Your assertion is absurd.
That’s going to be one poorly attended funeral.
Those snowshoe Big Bear rabbits are dynamite!
>> thermal imaging devices one pilot says can pick out a rabbit in a snowstorm
Or a dog on a chain in the backyard. Or a kid delivering papers on his bicycle. Hell, I bet they could pick out granny on the porch in her rocking chair.
Or attention to detail and a good memory. I've got a list too: don't normally think about them at all, but in the event they will not be forgetten. (And that includes the towtruck firm that stole the radio out of my damaged Mazda in '73)
Yep. What they can’t pick out is a guy who knows that anybody with a $3 space blanket can avoid detection by thermal imaging cameras.
If I lived in LA, I would be more afraid of the LAPD than Dorner.
Halt! Show me your papers!
A space blanket will not give much concealment from thermal imaging even when initially put on and even less once body heat warms the material up. In cold climates it is even less useful for concealment.
Put gun in cops hands and the one being pointed at is going to wind up dead. after all if there is no one to testify, the cop get off with a justified shooting. The circus these clowns in L.A. are running shows that they can’t bully everyone. I can’t justify Dorners shooting proclivities but this incident may have brought things to light within LAPD they otherwise were content to keep hidden.
I would place him somewhere in Canada. Not as much heat at the border as Mexico. There are plenty of isolated wooded areas to cross back and forth without encountering I C E.
What it takes is 1. Put yourself on the guments radar. & 2. have a cowardly neighbor, relative or friend to rat you out.
Look at the hitler youth and the neighborhood wardens continuously on the lookout to report someone in order to look good to the Gestapo.
