LAPD Shooting Random People

“I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in L.A.P.D. uniform whether on or off duty”

So we've all heard of Chris Dorner by now.  The ex LAPD officer who killed 3 people including one police officer and injured 2 other officers as well this week.  The LAPD has been on a massive manhunt tracking him through the city and in to the mountains.  The guy is absolutely nuts, he is on a rampage to get revenge for being fired from the department and posted an 11,000 word manifesto to the internet explaining why.

So there is no doubt that officers in the area should be on high alert.  They should be very cautious and extremely aware of their surroundings.  Instead they are shooting at any vehicle that even slightly resembles the description of Chris Dorner's ride.  A blue pick up truck pulled up to the home of an officer listed in the aforementioned manifesto yesterday.  The officers on duty watching the house did not even bother to see who was driving the vehicle, instead they just opened fire!

According to The Los Angeles Times:

The women, shot in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue, were taken to area hospitals, Torrance police Lt. Devin Chase said. They were not identified. One was shot in the hand and the other in the back, according to Jesse Escochea, who captured video of the victims being treated.

This is of course bad enough, but it doesn't stop there.

A second shooting, involving Torrance police officers, occurred about 5:45 a.m. at Flagler Lane and Beryl Street in Torrance. No injuries were reported in that incident.

Chase said that in both instances police came across vehicles they thought were similar to the one Dorner is believed to be driving. Neither vehicle was Dorner's.

They're literally just opening fire on any vehicle that even slightly resembles Dorner's!

Thank goodness they found his vehicle burnt to a crisp and can now stop being deathly afraid of blue pick up trucks.

Of course if you read the entire article over at the LA Times or any other given news source they're going in to great depth in to the back story and the current man hunt through Big Bear Lake but the fact that cops have shot at innocent civilians with no actual reason is just mentioned in passing.

Cop killer on the lose, lock your doors, hide your children, oh yeah and by the way the cops are shooting random people on the street so actually that's the real reason everyone should stay indoors.

Chris Dorner has already been responsible for tying up and threatening a man to steal his boat.  It is obvious that Chris Dorner has no intentions of killing any innocent civilians.  He has an agenda and a list of victims he wants revenge on.  I cannot remember a story that sounds more like a movie in my life time.  Chris Dorner in his mind must feel like Schwarzenegger or Stallone fighting against a corrupt and evil LAPD force.

And you know what, when the only civilians being shot are taking bullets straight out of a cops gun, it makes you wonder who the real bad guy is in this story.

Although Dorner's first two victims were actually civilians, one of them was the daughter of a former LAPD captain who became a lawyer in retirement, and ended up representing Dorner in front of the Board of Rights during his dismissal.  Dorner claims that since his firing he is unable to start a family and therefore will terminate the family of those he holds responsible for his loss.  So while not exactly the most sane reasoning, the logic is somewhat understandable.  These are not random innocents being shot at, but in his mind they are pieces in his devious plot for revenge.

Now that the carnage has begun it is harder to defend the fact that Dorner was indeed fired for an illegitimate reason.  He was trying to report a superior officer for kicking a schizophrenic man in the chest and face.  The victim says it happened, the victims father says he came home with his face bruised and Dorner, at the time a respected officer of the law, also claims that this man was beaten without due cause.  Yet instead of firing the officer who beat on an innocent man they fired Dorner for ratting on said fellow officer.

That's the last thing a police department wants, an officer who will actually call out other officers for doing their job poorly.  So the solution is of course to fire him, destroy his career, and send him in to a downward spiral that lead to this weeks gruesome events.

Not that this need be said, but I in no way condone Chris Dorners actions.  I do not condone killing anyone.  The mind just boggles over the fact that the murder of a cop is considered the most atrocious crime one can commit, but when cops "accidentally" shoot people while hunting for the suspected killer it is just a side note.
