3. July 28 incident vs Aug 10 report.

When Dorner returned from active duty to the LAPD in July 2007, Dorner was still on probation and assigned to the San Pedro division with field training officer Sgt. Teresa Evans. The key incident that would lead to his firing occurred July 28, 2007, and is described in testimony in Dorner's lawsuit against the LAPD.


On Aug. 9, Evans gave Dorner an evaluation that said he needed to improve in the areas of officer safety, common sense and good judgment. The next day, Dorner reported Evans' alleged kicking of Gettler to an LAPD captain. According to the captain's court testimony, Dorner "expressed remorse that he failed to report what he believed to be misconduct (unnecessary kicks applied to an arrestee) that he witnessed two weeks prior."

Irony is he may be telling the truth and thought the report would get him out of a sticky situation of having a bad rating. But then his account was suspect because it was self serving.
