(34,179 posts)Look, you, I and the fly on the wall all know that Dorner didn't have a chance of walking out of this alive. The man killed cops and family of cops, that is a death sentence for virtually everybody. It shouldn't be that way, it would be lovely if the cops could contain and discipline themselves to bring a copkiller in alive, but it rarely happens.
But it would be nice if the LA police had enough training and discipline to hold their fire until they make a clear identification.
Furthermore, even a murderer can speak the truth, and it isn't like the LAPD doesn't have a history of massive abuse and death, one that stretches back decades. This shines a spotlight on that very fact.
Meanwhile, what does it say about a police department that hires somebody like Dormer? Nothing good.
