Former LAPD officer on rampage in So Cal
http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/07/us/lap...html?sr=fbmain
(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. |

Dorner had an entire week to give himself up publicly which would basically tie the hands of the LAPD. He shot a game warden which isn't affiliated with the LAPD. |

I have only general ideas based on tv ect. I don't know. But if nobody was in danger inside the cabin and he didn't have some remote device that could harm people like a bomb or something, another option needs to be taken. Waiting him out, flash bombs, whatever SWAT feel they need to do is fine as long as it is an attempt to get him out without killing him. I just don't see the fire as the right option. And in the end this really isn't about the fire to me. It's about people saying that the cops should have the right under certain circumstances to end it when they aren't in immediate danger.
And if the fire creates a situation where he can't get out safely? |

And yet you can't connect the dots between live rounds and a propane tank. Amazing.

Then you would complain about the government spending too much on resources to capture this guy. What if there were years worth of food and water in the house? You wait for years?

But who really gives a shit? If they went in and shot him to pieces, or set the house on fire to kill him, what's the difference other than setting the fire requires much less risk of losing more officers, considering this guy had proven he will shoot and kill any officer he can. |

cops say burn it. Media is made to leave It Burns. Turn himself in publicly and the lapd says he "resisted" and he dies in custody. Game warden attests him he gets sent to lapd. Again the feeds should have taken over in these circumstances Posted via Mobile Device |
