you just know there's going to be a movie based on this.
Well, that will surely be some solid advice.Charlie Sheen wants Dorner to contact him so they can talk it out.![]()
It isn't. I was more so paraphrasing. But heck, it might as well be a real quote. Actions speak louder than words, right?

Disgusting.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I feel the exact same way.I don't know what chaps my ass more, A. they shot at someone they didn't see, B. they didn't just shoot a warning shot, they lit that truck up like the fourth of july, or C. Even after that hail of gunfire, they didn't even kill their intended target.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I feel the exact same way.
And now, there's no bigger picture. Dorner has murdered innocent civilians, and the LAPD have now attempted the same act as him. Murder on multiple innocent civilians. Whether or not they were successful is irrelevant, it's all about the intent.
They're both equal scum and I hope despite the media's attempt to maintain focus on Dorner and portray him as more evil, is seen through for what it is. A joke. This is an equal playing field now in terms of moral. And no badge changes that.

I do not think that is a good idea. Who knows what would happen if a chemically-enraged, dangerous walking psychopath met with Chris Dorner.
Ha ha, I am actually quite pro-police. I am against the ideology of citizens arming themselves for protection/potential overthrow of the government, and would sooner trust trained officers with guns rather than every other neighbour armed with intent to use on another person.
But the cops are not acting like cops right now, they are acting as their own private revenge militia. Because I am pro-police, this offends and hurts me at a deep level.

Most of the friends he mentions in the letter are mentors and contacts from his past, before he got fired. As a youth...in college...as a Naval officer in training, etc. Reality is, most people don't exactly keep in touch with their Drill Instructors from basic training. He was clearly living in isolation for the past few years.I really don't think that we can assume he had no one talking to him or trying to help him based on this manifesto. He obviously did have friends he cared about, who were good to him, and he mentioned them in the letter.
Yes, he probably will. But this whole situation is so much more complicated than that. This is about mental health, racism, the culture of the LAPD, police brutality, public safety, accountability and ethics...the list can go on. It will be beneficial for the LAPD and the community at large to understand how this situation came about and what could've been done to prevent it.Who knows how much of this is true? The bottom line is, regardless of what happened with the police force, in an effort to clear his name, he immediately killed two innocent people. He's got an obvious death wish. He's an LA cop killer now...he's going to get his wish.
I have as much faith in police as you can have in any person you don't know wielding a gun. In other words, not much.
The scary part is that they can get away with murder, thanks to there being little to no oversight.
But then that's why I support the second amendment.
Why does the LAPD seem to fail at their jobs so much more often than any other major PD in the country?
How does the second amendment protect you from cops who wield guns with impunity?
Cops are going to show a bit more discretion when everyone is armed to the teeth.
Though the real point was that it's better to take care of your own personal protection than rely on a bunch of not particularly well paid, disciplined or trained public servants.
Well, that will surely be some solid advice.
I am so not trying to get into this argument right now, but I'd just like to point out that if anything, this situation proves the exact opposite.

Especially when it's the LAPD, given the department's stellar record.
Cops shooting an old unarmed lady?
He means that, when there's a cop-hating, gun-toting weirdo on the streets, cops become even more jumpy, not less.
