Looking for a scapegoat.

And I can't help but think that Dorner will be tuning into to whatever they say.

They want to lure him back so they can ambush and kill him.

There will be no actual reinvestigation. It's theater.

any evidence of LAPD wrongdoing. It takes a consent decree to get them to even put up appearances in that regard.

They are worse than Oakland PD, if you can imagine it.

While he has certainly gone over the "edge", the few stories about the hearing/firing is interesting. And, of course,
next to no coverage about them shooting up the ladies and other guy. LAPD is always about the big SHOW.

In my area "Harbor Division", they are non-existent and totally worthless.

Very odd timing for this announcement, eh?

I think the LAPD is sweating under the media magnifying glass!

The only thing this guy cares about right now is looking justified for what he's done. This may cause him to slip up and give away his location.

I hope that happens soon, scared cops are a menace to us all.

csg, I think that's part of it..... but only part of it. I think "Damage Control" is the LAPD's main objective.

They're taking BIG HEAT for this entire affair.

for the screwups they made, it's just that the upper brass wants to do whatever they can to nab this guy before they have any more damage control to handle.

They know how freaked out their cops are, that's why they're going against standard protocol for hostage-style situations and are giving an appearance of negotiating with this shooter on his own terms. The longer he's at large, the incidents will pile up as fatigue sets in with trigger-happy cops who know they might only have a second or two to make a decision that saves their lives.

This is like the D.C. sniper case on steroids.

True dat!

Then I think it is unlikely he will be fooled.

FEDS taking a look at the case. The LAPD investigating it's own procedures is not proper in this case.

More than that, this actually meets one of his demands, that his name could be cleared. No one can undo what's been done since this began, but he may not shoot anyone else while this is on the news, don't you think?

gets him to surrender peacefully.


I wonder do you know what was in his manifesto?

On edit I made a few spelling mistakes.

Okay, here it is. It's a very long read, and I printed it out. Here's the link:

Christopher Dorner's 11 page manifesto, uncensored, and a glossary of terms

Looks like i will have some reading material. Everyone is talking about this and I have fallen behind. Thanks freshwest!

... any investigation that does not involve an outside entity is complete bullshit. They aren't going to investigate anything other than how to prevent a real investigation from taking place.

"After a thorough review, we find no reversible error"

If there is any real investigation the funds should come out whichever department was responsible with some of it resulting in pay cuts for those supervisors or other officers involved.

"I do this not to appease a murderer. I do it to reassure the public that their police department is transparent and fair in all the things we do," the chief said in a statement.

Yeah, they are looking to clean up the corruption............hey look, a squirrel
