The report is based on a story by KNBC SoCal.

Interesting, if anything.

Fwiw, the original story's headline was:

"New Dorner Report Urges Better Commication Between Law Enforcement Agencies" (sp was NOT me)

So what he’s saying is they need to respond with more psuedo military forces and shoot more innocent people?

[yarddog]

I remember being surprised at just how incompetent the cops were. Sort of made one think of a Chinese fire drill or the Keystone Cops.

So, this 120 pg. report is a ‘terrorist’s cookbook’ on how to make a sequel? Not very bright issuing such a report for public consumption.

Dorner showed what the cops in Cali have become. Terrified and trigger happy cowards willing to gun down anyone even remotely matching the description of the suspect.

Translation:

“The Dorner case permits an opportunity to undermine local LE entities and integrate them into richly-funded monoliths that receive orders directly from SackOfTomatoes and DC, never knowing locals. The scowls and mirrored sunglasses stay on permanently, as are arms folded atop chests.”

Of possible interest.

The Zodiac Killer managed to keep three Northern California counties in bafflement largely because there was little to no information sharing between county Sheriff's offices for homicides. If some department had a hunch that another jurisdiction could help fill in the blanks, they had to drive the information over by car or toss it in the mail and hope someone read it over at the other department.

For years the Zodiac was murdering victims only a few geographic miles away across several county lines with the same M.O. and nobody in law enforcement put together that the cases were linked until the Zodiac Killer himself announced that they were to several SF Bay Area newspapers.

In those days, some detective would have to read a newspaper about a slaying and think "Saaaayy... Do ya think that slaying down in Vallejo might be the same killer we got out here in Sonoma? Dah, GEE...". Either that, or the FBI thousands of miles away in Washington DC would tell them they have a problem out there in California they need to look at.

The Zodiac Killer wanted to get caught and was becoming more and more frustrated at the police for not catching him. He either died or gave up, and none of the suspects that the police kept focusing on ever panned out beyond unsupported police suspicion of "There's something I just don't like about that guy...".

There's a reason that the 1970s in California was the classical age of the serial murder hitchhiker/hooker slaying: There were a dozen or more serial killers running around leaving dead girls (and sometimes men) in the weeds all over California with impunity because they knew there was little chance they'd be caught because the police didn't have the means to effectively put two and two together: Angelo Buono/Kenneth Bianchi (the second 'Hillside Stranglers'), the Trash Bag murders, the "Original Hillside Stranger", The Freeway Killer, the I-5 Strangler, "The Original Night Stalker" (not that claim-jumping Richard Ramirez), Juan Corona, etc. The media spent more time thinking up frightening names for new serial killers faster than California LEAs kept up with new victims.

When I was a kid growing up in California, it almost seemed like the top of the news every night was another body found -- every night for several years.

Meanwhile the California Highway Patrol was spending all its time writing traffic citations against people breaking the 55 mph speed limit.

"Investigators later determined that Dorner had pulled off the road and began shooting at the patrol car as soon as it came around a bend. Shells found at the scene and witness statements showed he shot an AR-15 at the officers 29 times – using a noise suppressor to keep them from hearing the shots before they were hit."

Apparently even the police don't understand much about how firearms work. Or that a lot of bullets travel faster than the speed of sound.

And some of you here think they’ll be able to pull of martial law?
