LA Times Questions LAPD over Burning House
LA Times via Breitbart ^ | 17 Feb 2013 | William Bigelow

Posted on 02/17/2013 7:14:28 PM PST by Las Vegas Ron

The Los Angeles Times, ever eager to implicate the LAPD in anything it can get its hands on, is now questioning whether the use of a strong tear gas that can cause a fire was the right tactic for the LAPD when they cornered alleged murderer and cop-killer Christian Dorner.

Yes its a good thing he was stopped, darn good thing.

Not so sure the tactics and handling were a good thing though.

Did the El Lay Times have any questions re Benghazi?

"Dorner is dead as a door nail..."

That's just what THEY want you to think.

Actually, he was just seen working at a car wash in Michigan.

I'm sure someone will follow up with the specifics, but CA LEOs are sworn at the State level. There is a lot of inter-agency this and that. I know officers from other cities transit through my town to the county court house and they will make traffic stops outside their own city.

Wow, I didn't know that I am born and bred in So. Cal.

My Dad told me stories of how when he was a kid they used to mess with the cops (just kids stuff) and would cross the line into Burbank.

The cops couldn't cross the line, wonder when it all changed?

The police should answer the questions until the people run out of questions

Nah, I agree with you completely. In fact I was mad, and making a (very) veiled reference to Bengazi, and the way the authorities treat ANY questions about there as being weird.

Sorry --it was just weighing heavily on my mind at that point, and I blurted that out, totally out of context.

On second look, it isn’t a mushroom. Originally it looked like a large oyster mushroom, but not I see is is a statue of a small child angel type thing.

notice how easy it is to recycle the stock phrases used by leftwingtard female celebrities ~ but I wonder if there’s a celebrity behind ‘crispy critter’ ~ which seems so terribly appropriate.

I believe you are correct. Having listened to the scanner feed for the best part of the four days my recollection was the DFW and SBSD were on the scene with SBSD having the lead. At one point LAPD had 20 officers at the airport who were told to stand by and that SBSD had enough manpower on the scene. I never heard the LAPD officers called in.

The question I am asking and they should be asking is the cost in manhours and dollars to find this one somewhat trained psyco.

We know there are collateral losses that will have to be paid for.

Seems like one man with a little training, some weapons, and an attitude costs a whole lot to resolve. And it doesn't get resolved quickly.

That's the take-away from the hot wash, anyway.

I often am a critic of the cops and they didn’t do very well on this one either such as shooting at innocent people who didn’t remotely fit the description

However once it was known he had killed several people and made no claim to have done anything else, He was bought and paid for. Unless he came out with his hands in the air they had every right and duty to kill him while he was still trying to kill more.

The taxpayers saved millions in trial and incarceration by Dorner being terminated right where he was discovered. Let us not forget he was a cruel cowardly mass murderer. Given this, I could care less if he was burned out or shot to death or committed suicide. He wanted to DIE HARD and he got it.

A question one might ask is why the print media published the manifesto...leaving out not just names but also complete paragraphs. Why then say they were only removing names to protect those people? Had I not stumbled across a comment with a link to the complete manifesto I might never have known what I was given by the media was only a portion.

Remember, they had the FAA close off the whole area before anything happened - no news crews choppers were allowed anywhere near it, supposedly to “protect” them. I thought that suspicious. I knew then that Dorner wasn’t coming out alive, no matter what (not that I cared, either).

*shrug* We could balance the budget if the police used this method on every suspect.

Bullets are cheap, and the government has purchased billions of hollow points...

Were the LAPD/SBPD to say “h3ll, yea! (and point out that the BATFE/FBI honed the tactic at Waco,) I’d have a lot more respect for them.
