Those cops need to be removed from the force before they murder someone.

"mistaken identity" was only ONE of the mistakes that were made. Just how many rounds were fired before police stopped to see if they were even justified in drawing their weapons in the first place?

Repeat after me: “Only cops are qualified and trained to handle firearms.”.

These idiots should be up on charges of attempted murder and violations of 18USC242. Then they should be tried, convicted, stripped of their pensions, imprisoned for life, and sued into bankruptcy until their families are dead broke and starving in the streets.

Don’t know if they were warned or not, but my assumption was certainly that they were not. Should be criminal charges against the officers involved if in fact they just opened fire.

The cops are scared to death. Remember when that guy threatened to beat up Barney Fife? I guess it’s true about bullies being cowards at heart.

The police actually think that this Dorner would drive down the street in his own vehicle in front of the house of an officer whose life he has threatened knowing that the LAPD would be staking it out and on the lookout for him and his vehicle.

If they think he is that stupid to do something like that, then they have underestimated him and they will never catch him.

These cops need to be fired..you cant just open fire on any car because it looked like Dorner’s vehicle. Luckily these two women were not seriously injured

I’s a miracle that they are still alive. A quick glance indicates about 40 rounds fired.

Cops go nuts when one of their own is threatened and in this case they themselves are threatened. SOCAL folks better give them a wide berth until this perp is shot. I say shot, because it’s real clear he won’t be caught.

Who thinks they would be anywhere but prison if they had committed this shooting based on, “Well, a person in a blue Toyota truck made threats against me, and that was a blue Toyota truck, so I just unloaded on it.”

Also note, they were looking for ONE guy, yet the bullet holes clearly indicate that they were shooting at TWO people. Now yes, its possible that the suspect would have someone with him, but wouldn't you think that second person might be a hostage?

These cops need to go to jail for attempted murder.

Normally I deplore Civil Litigators, all too often they are chasing ambulances, making vague claims about pharmaceuticals on daytime TV commercials or suing over hot coffee. But if this happened to me or my own, a shark would have been my first call after assurances of my family’s or my well being..

As I stated earlier;
Fear
Poor Training
Affirmative Action
Political Correctness
are all to blame for the attempted assassination of these two women. Assassination is the only thing it can be called. The two piss poor excuses for police officers,were trying to kill the suspect. Not arrest him. Kill him.

And I still think that is a Broncho Bamma sticker on the bumper of that POlice car.

Ban guns.

guns are safe in the hands of policemen?
I’m glad that it is now policemen who are having a gun battle. It lowers them to the civilian status in the sense that they should also go through all the background and mental checks.

oh, and it’s not a “man hunt” it’s a “police hunt”.

Welcome to the shoot first and ask questions later school of police work. And you thought “Police Academy” was just a movie.

“No command, no instruction, no warning. They just opened fire on them,” said Glen Jonas, who is representing Emma Hernandez, 71, and Margie Carranza, 47, in possible legal action against the LAPD.

Possible legal action? I would guess that it would easily take eight figures to the left of the decimal place for them to even consider not going to court. Those cops won't be fired because they endanged civilians, they'll get canned for making those two women Megamillions jackpot winners.
