Dorner manhunt: Charred human remains found in burned cabin
LA Times ^ | February 13, 2013 | 2:08 am | Staff

Charred human remains have been found in the burned cabin where police believe fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner was holed up after trading gunfire with law enforcement, authorities said.

If the body is identified to be Dorner’s, the standoff would end a weeklong manhunt for the ex-LAPD officer and Navy Reserve lieutenant who is believed to be responsible for a string of revenge-fueled shootings following his firing by the Los Angeles Police Department several years ago. Four people have died, allegedly at Dorner’s hands.

The last burst of gunfire Tuesday came after the suspect, attempting to flee law enforcement officials, shot to death a San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy and seriously injured another, officials said. He then barricaded himself in a wooden cabin outside Big Bear, not far from ski resorts in the snow-capped San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles, according to police.

Just before 5 p.m., authorities smashed the cabin's windows, pumped in tear gas and called for the suspect to surrender. They got no response. Then, using a demolition vehicle, they tore down the cabin's walls one by one. When they reached the last wall, they heard a gunshot, officials said, and then the cabin burst into flames.

Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said he would not consider the manhunt over until a body was identified as Dorner.

Dorner is just a symptom of a society whose legal/moral values are in decline, hence the number of citizens who were cheering Dorner on....

and the number of people here who were cheering the LEO taking justice into their own incompetent hands.

He killed a man’s child in order to hurt him. He deserved to die horribly. Quit coddling the criminals.

I agree with that. But I still think it should be done according to our laws, and not out of anger and revenge. The cops are not yet Judge Dredd, where they can determine guilt and carry out the determined sentence on the spot.

This story arc just begs for conspiracy. I mean, it's almost as if they wanted people to think he got away. Maybe they planned it from the beginning, as a spark for a race war or something - I can see it now, Dorner Phoenix - Starring Denzel Washington.

The law has no guarantees of success and cannot protect us from animals like this. The last thing we need is people like him becoming folk heroes while they sit in a prison cell (if they don’t escape) laughing at “the law”.

Kill ‘em. Anyway, he wanted to die. Why argue with him? Think of it as suicide.

"It worked. Some people just need killing and he was at the top of the list."

Try to come up with another statement that reflects an even more shallow thought. Bet you can't.

"I'd hit it."

I win.

There is still a shitepot full of OT to be used up and at least temporarily the dogs in SoCal are safer and the donut shops are booming.

So I guess if it's an 87 year old man that it'll be brushed off as collateral damage.
The implication here is that the police were not sure who was in the cabin at the
time they burned the MF down with an M-15. And didn't assume that Dorner may have escaped.
