Big Bear is in San Bernadino County. LAPD have no jurisdiction there (nor in Torrance, where those two paper delivery women were shot at).

What happened near Big Bear was local/county LE, not LAPD.

for a PRR being a PRR offence as well?

LAPD have been shooting to kill since the first minute of this debacle, unloading 64 bullets at two women, and shot up two more suspects, all of whom utterly failed to be a 280 pound black man (heavily armed). They purposely burned the cabin without knowing anything about who might be inside. It is unfortunately possible that this is true, and in my experience of LAPD, they'd work to cover it up if it were.

"Police: Charred remains not Dorner; body found confirmed to be female"

This is so far unconfirmed and may be a news agency flub. However, considering how LAPD have been shooting to kill without bothering to make positive ID, this is unfortunately possible. (64 bullets at two women, for example.)

If that's so, it wouldn't be LAPD, would it?

Just trying to get that straight.

And Big Bear was certainly not LAPD either, since it isn't even in LA county.

I guess people assume that LAPD has jurisdiction where they don't, an honest mistake. But it would be better to be factual, I think.

Original OP content:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2368309

After LAPD shooting 64 bullets at two women, then shooting up two other suspects, all of which was done without making any positive ID, then police telling media to stop live coverage including to stop tweeting...! then deleting those tweets, and mainstream media saying they didn't know how the cabin fire started yet some broadcast the scanner feed which clearly shows cops calling for the burn plan, this was most certainly a possibility. I apologize to the forum and ask mods to lock the thread.

This is so far unconfirmed and may be a news agency flub. However, considering how LAPD have been shooting to kill without bothering to make positive ID, this is unfortunately possible. (64 bullets at two women, for example.)

The source is Twitter. This could certainly be a fake.
