133. Dorner Manhunt Spreads to Arizona, Mexico

Fri Feb 8, 2013, 01:28 PM

Feb 2013

Friday: Massive manhunt continues for ex-LAPD officer suspected in three murders. Police plan a 9 a.m. press conference.

As snow fell Friday morning in Big Bear, more than 100 police and canines continued to comb the mountainous area where Dorner's truck was found ablaze Thursday. All the areas where someone could have walked away from the truck were being searched by ground, said Cindy Bachman of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

It was unclear if Dorner had ventured into the rugged terrain or if his truck was set ablaze as a diversion. Bachman said she was not aware of any vehicle having been stolen since the burned out truck was discovered.

The California Highway Patrol issued an alert Friday that Dorner could be driving a white Lexus last seen near Barstow, but that report was later discredited

The two women LAPD shot were ELDERLY ASIAN WOMEN delivering the LA Times--KFI Radio 1:13pm GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #26

They are so hype ... SummerSnow Feb 2013 #48

From KFI radio in Los Angeles (12:42) GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #7

I live in Big Bear. cherokeeprogressive Feb 2013 #8

That's what KFI is reporting GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #9

Does the intersection of Clubview and Goldmine mean anything to you? GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #10

I heard that truck was actually on fire last night and is still smoldering. cherokeeprogressive Feb 2013 #13

The news keeps changing on this. KFI has been pretty careful to say the truck "might" be his GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #23

I was just informed by LEO that is almost certainly his truck. cherokeeprogressive Feb 2013 #33

If you look at the pic, it matches the description they've been giving since 5 am this morning GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #43

That should read Killer Cop as well as Cop Killer. Lionessa Feb 2013 #11

i thought he was no longer a cop. mayby i misread the report loli phabay Feb 2013 #12

He's not. GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #16

what kind of whistle blowing? 2pooped2pop Feb 2013 #62

A police beating of a young man, IIRC. Marr Feb 2013 #125

thank you. I've read the manifesto now. 2pooped2pop Feb 2013 #126

LAPD? Oh, yeah. Marr Feb 2013 #139

I couldn't imagine living with that kind of police 2pooped2pop Feb 2013 #140

Once a cop and all, plus his reasoning is because of being fired I gather from reports. Lionessa Feb 2013 #17

dont by that he may have been a cop but hes not now. yes he has the training and skillset loli phabay Feb 2013 #19

So you don't like the facts the LA Police put out? Okay, ignorance is bliss. Lionessa Feb 2013 #21

no tehnically its ex cop on cop stuff as he was fired what four years ago loli phabay Feb 2013 #24

We disagree then. Since it's so integral to the situation, it's accurate. Lionessa Feb 2013 #27

He's actually a good deal more than that. He's a military sharpshooter and is waging "asymmetrical" GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #14

And apparently the police are shooting innocent folks in their panic. Newspaper delivery ladies. Lionessa Feb 2013 #25

Old news (see above and see some other threads). Those women were elderly Asian women GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #28

I didn't say it was new news, just that the opinion about panic is not only right, but really right. Lionessa Feb 2013 #29

Did someone say the police weren't panicking? GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #31

Circle jerk yourself. Carry on. Lionessa Feb 2013 #35

It was a real question. GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #47

Could be. Might not be, too. MineralMan Feb 2013 #15

Very true. Those two women that LAPD shot "accidentally" were in a Toyota Tacoma, not a Nissan GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #18

Yup. When a cop is shot, all bets are off. MineralMan Feb 2013 #22

This guy really has the cops scared. GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #30

They are right to be scared. MineralMan Feb 2013 #34

I absolutely agree with you GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #40

Because cops' lives are so much more important than ordinary citizens'. Comrade Grumpy Feb 2013 #38

Dorner served 6 months in Iraq & was honorably discharged from the service (reserves) last week--KFI GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #20

seems like whatever reason LAPD didn't want him should have been reason for military JI7 Feb 2013 #32

Actually, an honorable discharge adds some merit to Dorner's story that he was unjustly fired for GiaGiovanni Feb 2013 #37

this sounds right 2pooped2pop Feb 2013 #63

He was a whistleblower. Nevernose Feb 2013 #42

couldn't he have gone to the media, written a book JI7 Feb 2013 #46

Obviously Nevernose Feb 2013 #57
