I honestly think there needs to be some sort of review in the LAPD regarding volume of fire vs accuracy. They seem to wildly underestimate how inaccurate someone can be when pulling the trigger as fast as possible.
The way they do it now, they might as well give them full auto weapons, the outcome would likely be the same.

Lol.

Or maybe just... *due process?* Don't get me wrong, this guy was a probable nutbag and definite murderer, so he deserves to be tried and punished. Just not by a bunch of muscleheaded, trigger-happy cops. That wasn't how it was supposed to work when I learned to respect the Constitution.Bobzilla wrote: How about set up a perimeter and wait him out? That's usually what they do, rather than killing a suspect. This man never had a chance. He was tried, convicted and executed by the LAPD before he EVER got a chance.Wait for what? HE said he wasn't going to live through this. He tried to kill any LEO that got close to him. This is exactly what he wanted and I'm glad the Riverside Sheriff dept obliged him. It also gave reason to re-open the case that he was so upset about. Win-win.
Uhhh, let's see: maybe news reports of LAPD shooting dozens of rounds at unarmed, non-suspicious innocents who happened to be driving the same class - not even the same type or color - of vehicle as he was? If he surrendered into the face of this current bunch of yahoos, do you think he stood a chance of making it more than 5 feet out the door alive?

I wonder how they found his body in all that soot.....
That's racist (right?)

Are you saying that because he was gray? I've been hearing a lot about Gray rights and parades.
Watching that video has me wondering if the officers who were shot didn't get hit by stay bullets.
Did anyone notice the dude behind the truck squeezing off a few rounds at what seems to be a cloud of smoke?

I've got a funny feeling they will say they do not.

A lady rented it out. My bet is there will be an attempt for an insurance claim, then the insurance company will find evidence of arson and ask the police to pay. She will end up with a nice camp site containing a chimney.

The insurance will pay and then sue the police.

Probably not sue. They subrogate to lapd's insurance provider.

You can always get insurance. Premiums might be a bit steep. But you can always get it.

It's official: Christopher Dorner died in cabin standoff

The Onion said: LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles residents are reportedly on edge today following reports that hundreds of armed and extremely dangerous Los Angeles Police Department officers are resuming regular patrolling duties after the conclusion of Tuesday’s manhunt for rogue ex-cop Christopher Dorner. “I mean, just knowing they’re out there is terrifying—how can I feel safe when these maniacs are on the loose in my neighborhood?” said a visibly rattled Ashley Stillson, 38, who explained that she strictly observed the city’s advisory to avoid the historically violent, unpredictable predators by going out in groups and avoiding the streets entirely after nightfall. “These guys are volatile and, in many cases, mentally unstable. Something needs to be done about them because I fear for my family knowing these sick people are still at large.” At press time, sources reported the tense mood in L.A. had brightened considerably after news of a serial rapist diverted numerous LAPD officers to a sprawling manhunt in nearby San Bernardino.

Sounds like a MG shoot at Knob Creek. Has anyone slowed the tape down & been able to count the numbe of shots heard?

I think they're saying he was "ashy."
