What are they going to do, exonerate him for the firing that could have sent him down the path of anger until it ended in deadly violence? How's that going to work out?

...so maybe he'll get it and no one else will have to die for this whackjobs ego?

Sounds like a good call to me

I think that's one of the more overlooked aspects of his manifesto - it's all about him.

If nothing else, maybe he won't kill some other person, even if he doesn't turn himself in.

It may be standard negotiating for getting out hostages, or bringing someone in. I don't usually follow crime stories except whatever hits DU, and certainly don't know much about this one. I'm also just about media blind by not having teevee and radio, so the way these things are being handled are new to me.

Clearly, this came from the top of LAPD and is being done for both practical and political reasons.

LAPD's reputation is so tarnished they almost have to do this. The chief himself said as much.

Dorner has really caused a light to be shined on LA's nastiest gang.

But it a the very least may put him on a slightly on a different footing (if he's still alive and monitoring the media).

And buy the public's support through their 1 million dollar bribe. This is all about saving hundreds of millions in lawsuits, which is fruitless at this point.

Chuckles all around.

Then we started talking of what might seriously be going on? Truth is always stranger than fiction.

Dismissed for conflict of interest, we call that a can of worms. I suspect part of it might be a slew of FOIAs from the likes of Anderson Cooper. Easy to cow local reporters, national based in another state, not so much.

I would add though and knowing full well that I'm likely to be flamed for it, that Chief Charlie Beck is doing a solid job as LAPD Chief. I much prefer him to even Bratton.

And IMO Bratton creatively lied n CNN the other night.

He still has a can of worms with the two shootings, one putting one woman n ICU. I expect LA City to quietly settle. They want as little of this in the courts.

I think it's fair to say though that this mess is not Beck's making and this step is a good one in attempting to resolve it. Those police officers fucked up - but they didn't fuck up because of something that the brass did.

Do you think two different trucks were shot up by "rogue" cops? 43 bullets in the blue truck?

That Bratton claimed to not recall any particulars of Dorner's review board and discharge or meeting him when he gave him the coin. I find it hard that someone like Bratton would not be able to recollect anything at all about this and I thought he was concealing his thoughts about the ramifications of this scrutiny in terms of his actions.

Bratton said that he reviews hundreds of cases every year, but how many of those result in termination?

I think I misread what Nadin was writing (and she was unclear) - Bratton does not have a can of worms with the shooting - he has a can of worms with LAPD re-opening this investigation - he signed off on its conclusion, he would certainly be relevant to its further investigation.

I thought I read a story about the things sent to Anderson Cooper and the coin, now with bullet holes was in there. I thought the story said that the guy who gave him the coin felt odd or something seeing it all shot up like that.

Or something like that. It may be someone else. I will try to find the story to see if it is indeed this guy that doesn't remember it now.

spots and I have to wonder at the former chief's comments and what the items in AC's package, like what's on that CD?

I think that the detectives who shot those women in that car were hoping for some prize for getting Dorner, they want him dead and asap so he has no voice. Only thing is, I think he chumped them really badly by sending that package. I would really like to see what's on that CD/DVD that he sent to AC. And he may be way smarter than half the guys looking for him. I bet he's not where they think he is. maybe he's on his way to wherever that former LAPD chief is to help him with his story-telling issues. Just a speculation...

I don't recall that they said in the one and a half segments that I watched. I was thinking to myself that it might be but I didn't feel like it was really addressed. AC was all about the coin with the bullet wounds from what I could tell. I wonder if he was even allowed to see it, in the news clip he said he hadn't seen any of the item personally. Bet that CD/DVD is at FBI properties now. The writing on it said something about it being the evidence for his exoneration...

You're probably correct though.

Especially since the RonPaul.com story broke. The evil gummit scared twitter, the eternal 'friend of liberty.' Like twitter wasn't set up to sell information to anyone, private or public all the time.

It's naive to think the social networking sites value our privacy in organizing our personal, so called private, networks. That's the stuff of movies, that they can't get any of it. They're voluntary contracts with info given freely and sold freely.

It's a business, they'd sell your name for a nickel. RonPaul.com is gonna sell their 170K patriots' information to the highest bidder - going price right now is a little over a dollar a head. Rather cheap, huh.

They'll turn anyone on or off on a whim. Meh!

But they mst realize, after occupy, hundreds of other hash tags will emerge.

Unless they are going to say the two hotel employees were coerced into their testimony.

and this may be an attempt to flush him into the open in hopes of sharing his story. I read a tweet, unconfirmed, that some 50 LAPD officers have protection assigned to their homes. They're afraid? Now they know how Rodney King felt, how the poor and people of color feel, even how activists feel when they come around.


"Officers beat a homeless man for eating sunflower seeds on San Julian Street as onlookers plead for them to stop. Man is subsequently taken away in an ambulance."

With the trigger happy LAPD goons running amok, insurance for the public is a good idea.

lots of troubling information there. The information on how he secured his guns and ammunition is very alarming. His thoughts on gun control are not unworthy of consideration. He is very angry and very dangerous.

Worse than Willard in round three of the debates.

No mystery about it.

of the overall situation or was there something that's come to light that was distasteful at that moment?

No sign of Dorner sinced Thursday morning near as I can figure, up there in the snow at Big Bear, humping all his stuff somewhere.

that he perhaps hiked to a backup vehicle which he has since used to leave the area. I have fully expected to hear of another strike by Dorner elsewhere while the attention is on Big Bear.

This is reminiscent of the Eric Rudolf thing some years back.

Too many unknowns.
