He has manpads, like I have an Abrams tank.

I have a Akula class sub tied up in the marina with a Winabago duct taped to the top

I don’t believe that he has Manpads either but I think the possibility of him possessing the Barrett has LE in a quandary. If he does hole up in high ground I wonder if Dorner will be the first US soil drone strike kill.

"He has manpads, like I have an Abrams tank."

He's almost certainly blowing smoke, but there was a 60 Minutes interview with the NYPD Chief back in September 2011 where the Chief let it slip that the NYPD had the capability to take down an airplane. In the days immediately following the interview, Chief Kelly and Bloomberg backpedaled, stating that capability consisted of firing a .50 sniper rifle from a helicopter. Needless to say, there was a lot of speculation that they probably had the capability to deploy at least a Stinger.

So, while I still find it extremely doubtful that Dorner has his hands on one, the thought that an NY or LAPD officer could gain access to one is not as remotely implausible as it might first seem.

Then (get your tinfoil ready), if you believe in goverment/media collaboration to gently float ideas into the public conscience and incrementally shift that Overton Window, there was that coincidental little news item from the Seattle gun buyback just over a week ago...
