Ex-LA Cop on a Rampage

[chitoryu12]

The police are giving a press conference to announce...



... They've filed murder charges against Dorner.

We did not need a press conference for that, thanks. We figured.

What was the point?

The point I think was that while we (the royal we) have been trying him in our minds and conversations with information through the press, that's not quite the same as the police officially charging him with murder. Even though he's an awful human, he's still an American citizen entitled to due process.

I don't think we need to all hear that he's being charged with murder. The entire point behind the manhunt is that he's murdering people. We didn't need to hold a press conference to officially charge Osama Bin Laden with terrorism after he was publicly identified as a terrorist. Everyone already KNOWS what the crime is. That's the whole reason anyone knows about him.

Technically speaking without charges filed against him he could walk. That said, it's still just the cops saying something to say anything.

They're found where he has been holed up.

Nobody said he never needs charges formally filed against him. They just don't need to file them DURING the manhunt, let alone make a press charge stating the obvious.

So now cops are in a shoot-out with the bastard. Oh boy...

[chitoryu12]

One deputy is dead from the shootout so far and another's wounded, and the cabin's apparently on fire. I think that's 4 deaths total.

Apparently he was fired for filing a false report, claiming that a training officer kicked a mentally ill suspect, and blames the firing on racism. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the report really WAS true and they were trying to cover up the abuse.

Oh boy... You thinking what I'm thinking?

CSTDT is gonna be pounded with material after what I shall call Waco 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Uh, I think so, Brain, but burlap chafes me so.

That too.

I'm pretty sure they were a bit more concerned with the way he threatened to kill all of them and their families.  I'm not a fan of the LAPD by any means, but the guy was mentally ill, and there just isn't much reason to take his word for it.  Looking for the conspiracy angle at this point is a little too tinfoil hat.

But yeah, he's dead now.  Reports are still coming in, but they're pretty sure he killed himself.

There's no conspiracy regarding corruption in the LAPD. Falsifying a report for kicking a mentally ill suspect and getting a guy fired for trying to report it is really mundane by bad cop standards.

[SpaceProg]

Well... what now, I wonder?

Yes, but assuming that's the reason the police have been trying to find and kill him is a bit of a stretch.

[chitoryu12]

I never SAID that, though. I only brought up how he was fired for apparently falsifying a report regarding suspect abuse, and how it wouldn't surprise me if it really was the truth and they fired him for not yielding. Corruption in the LAPD on that level is typical. I never suggested that they're out hunting him for being a seeker of justice. It's pretty apparent that it's because he's murdering people.

[ironbite]

They're not sure he's dead.
