59. Indeed. If this were a simple event of a nutcase killing innocents and, in the end, being chased

down by the police and shot dead after he fired his gun at the cops, THERE WOULD BE NO CONTROVERSY HERE. No one would be discussing this thing at all, because it happens in this country every frikkin' day, almost. We would shake our heads sadly at the innocents who died and the cops who died doing their duty, and go on.

The takeaway from this story for all of the citizens of the US is that several police forces independently acted like total murderous assholes themselves, making us citizens wonder if we can even count on the police to look in our car window to confirm if we look like the bad guy or not! Or will we be shot at with dozens of bullets, like the 2 Latinas or the skinny white male surfer were, by LAPD and the Torrance PD? Even though the make, model, and color of our vehicles were nothing like Dorner's?

And, even after the citizens were upset over the out-of-control and illegal police attacks on the Latinas and the white man, the police surrounding the cabin COULDN'T SEEM TO BRING THEMSELVES TO ACT MATURELY AND SOBERLY, even though they knew everyone was watching them? They couldn't even refrain from screaming, "Burn the motherfucker!!!"?

Now, do I really have to say here that just because I think Dorner may have had a point, I don't admire him? And I feel sad for the victims? Do I really have to say that? There is a larger problem here, and it, in my mind, is more important than Dorner or the victims, because it can affect everyone within range of these police departments.
