Former LAPD officer on rampage in So Cal

(CNN) -- A former Los Angeles police officer who police say has violently threatened his former colleagues shot at least two officers early Thursday, killing one, sparking a huge manhunt in Southern California, according to authorities.
Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, is also wanted in a double slaying Sunday in Irvine, California.
The California Highway Patrol issued an alert Thursday morning urging officers in several Southern California counties to be on the lookout for Dorner after the overnight shootings.
Two officers in Riverside were shot, one fatally, police there confirmed to CNN. CNN affiliate KTLA reported another officer was shot in Corona, California.
Irvine police identified Dorner on Wednesday as the suspect in the February 3 deaths of Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan in Irvine.
Dorner also has made violent threats against other Los Angeles police officers, the agency said Wednesday.
"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," Dorner allegedly wrote in a lengthy letter promising retribution against the department, where he worked from 2005 until 2008. An LAPD source provided the document to CNN.
The letter writer claimed he was terminated for reporting excessive force by a fellow officer, and said his attacks were retribution for his termination, as well as a culture of racism and violence he says continues within the department.
He called the attacks against police "a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name."
Los Angeles police warned people who encounter Dorner not to approach him, saying he is likely "armed and extremely dangerous."
"Our department is implementing all measures possible to ensure the safety of our LAPD personnel, their families and the Los Angeles community, and will continue to do so until Dorner is apprehended and all threats have been abated," police said in a statement.
CNN's Mallory Simon and Deanna Hackney contributed to this report.

Update at 12:30 p.m. ET. More On Shots Fired At Others:

The Times now writes that "two women who were shot by Los Angeles police in Torrance early Thursday during a massive manhunt for an ex-LAPD officer were delivering newspapers, sources said. The women, shot in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue, were taken to area hospitals, Torrance police Lt. Devin Chase said." It appears they were in a blue pickup — a vehicle that generally matches the description of what the suspect is thought to be driving.

Headline: "Man calls LAPD corrupt, incompetent, racists. LAPD responds by shooting 2 innocent Asians and a couple of women."

So this guy night have legitimate claims of corruption, but it's going to get washed out on the basis of cover-ups, questions of insanity and become a facet of the gun control debate (remember folks, only SWAT teams and military are armed in the UK).

I'm beginning to think conspiracy nutbags are on to sonething. There are seriously wrong things going on and it seems like "Someone" stands to benefit from it..

Congrats to this guy for getting the entire state on a manhunt for him, pretty impressive.

I blame Roger Goodell.

Sorry if this was posted, I did a quick glance and didn't see any links that seemed to match mine, but here's the uncensored version: http://wap.myfoxla.com/w/main/story/84473837/

"Tebow, I really wanted to see you take charge of an offense again and the game. You are not a good QB by todays standards, but you are a great football player who knows how to lead a team and WIN. You will be "Tebowing" when you reach your next team. I have faith in you. Get out of that circus they call the Jets and away from the reality TV star, Rex Ryan, and Mark Rapist Sanchez."

Ah, well. It was probably time. I was stationed at the 42nd Street base.

Yes, there are a great deal of very concerning things said in that manifesto. The man may have been unhinged, but he's naming a LOT of names and giving a LOT of detail.

Crazy doesn't do verifiable names and details. Crazy tends to operate in nebulous truisms and 'protect people' who would have otherwise vindicated Crazy.

There's no question that the LAPD is rife with problems - is it really outside the realm that this guy is telling the truth? Or at least some very close approximation of same?

I'd be awfully leery of calling this guy a career nutcase just yet. He's very clearly lost it, but seemingly sane people have been driven to heinous shit when they feel they've been grievously wronged. This man clearly believes exactly that.

When I read that part of the manifesto about a fellow officer kicking someone this video immediately came to mind:
