Hmmmm who is more of a threat to the average citizen, the guy who wants to kill cops who are "corrupt" or the cops who are shooting up random vehicles hoping they catch they guy who kills cops who are "corrupt"?
Stop trying to sensationalize things..... Of course it was a bad move by the LAPD, but would it have happened if some lunatic wasn't out hunting the families of cops?????
We get upset when friendly fire kills an American Troop in wartime, but we also understand how it can happen. The cops should and probably will be dealt with for their actions.
No one in this thread has said it is ok that the cops shot the women, but let's keep things in perspective: A crazy/rogue ex-cop is willfully gunning down innocent people who did nothing to him. I would rather we get him off the streets for good, and let the proper channels deal with the cops who erred.

No matter the circumstance, LE shooting up vehicles with innocent civilians is criminal negligence. Unless and until they knew it was Dorner, they had no business squeezing triggers. The odd thing is that because they are cops, people are excusing their negligence, to a degree. If a civilian, carrying a gun legally, were to do the same thing, there is zero doubt that they would be doing prison time. But when cops do it, cops who are supposed to be trained to handle situations like this and therefore should be more equipped and less likely to shoot at innocents, people think it would be fine if they were just reprimanded.

Cops haven't killed anyone yet one of the asian ladies is still in intensive care however. Bigger issue to me is they misidentified 3 vehicles in 3 separate incidents and fired on them all before getting confirmation.

Charlie Sheen wants to do his part to bring ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner into custody safely ... so he's recorded a video plea asking the wanted man to call him to talk things out.
Dorner -- who is accused of killing three people including a cop -- mentioned a number of celebs in his online "manifesto," and wrote about Sheen, "Charlie Sheen, you’re effin awesome."
Sheen recorded the message to Dorner yesterday, saying, "You mentioned me in your manifesto, so thank you for your kind words. I am urging you to call me. Let's figure out together how to end this thing."
Dorner is still currently at large.

really no reason to take sides in this case. Hopefully the coppers catch the crazy dude, and hopefully the morons that shot up innocent vehicles get some prison time as well, they deserve it.
I bet $100 that when they catch this dude he is wearing a Laker jersey

Here is the 2nd vehicle the LAPD bumped to disable and shot at on the same day they shot at the two newspaper ladies:
Not been much reported about this one because they didn't hit they guy despite putting three rounds in the windshield. The article is HERE that contains the posted picture. It is mentioned elsewhere, but usually in passing.

Christopher Dorner, the ex-LAPD cop who allegedly killed three people has been on the run, successfully evading police, for over a week. To finally track him down, it seems that law enforcement is pulling out all the stops. According to the Express, Dorner is now a target for drones, among the first ever on U.S. soil.
The Express quotes a "senior police source" as having said:
The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, a joint leader of the force tasked with finding Dorner, has confirmed—though not explicitly—and is quoted as saying "We are using all the tools at our disposal." And a third, vague conformation comes from Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio who is quoted as saying the agency is on the "forefront of domestic use of drones by law enforcement," while declining to elaborate further.
It wouldn't be the first time drones have ever been involved in a law enforcement operation in the U.S. As early as 2011 there was an incident in which Predator drones hunted down fugitives and directly lead to their ultimate arrest. Still, the practice is far from widespread. Presumably, the drones looking for Dorner's heat signature are unarmed. Presumably.
Should armed drones actually be authorized to fire on Dorner, then it would be a first, and frankly a terrifying precedent. And considering all the collateral damage that's already happened, adding drone fire to the mix would be a horrible idea. Unmanned eyes in the sky could be the ticket to ending the week-long search, but you can't unset a precedent. [The Express via Matt Novak, Adam Pash]

Im going to take an easy stance here: They wont fire on him with a drone.
Lol, LAPD has already fired at at least two innocent vehicles. I wouldn't rule any thing out.
I would say it would depend on where he's at, how armed he appears to be and how fortified his position is. If he's at a cabin or some **** in the middle of the mountains that hard to access and/or an extremely dangerous approach for officers, I could see a drone being used to fire upon him and we'll have a new pivot point in this country.

$1 million reward for his capture and conviction. Who's heading to LA?
Drones? Geez, the more I hear about this situation the bigger my tinfoil hat gets.

They've already fired on at least 2 vehicles without even seeing a gun or knowing who they were shooting at. They aren't looking to arrest him, they are looking to ****assinate him. That's not really something the police are supposed to do in this country. I sincerely hope that he ends up dead. Regardless, they've shown with their actions that they aren't going to worry about if he brandishes a weapon or attempts to fire on them. They will just shoot him on sight. Hopefully, they get him before they shoot anymore innocents, or wreck any more private property.
****ing Wild Wild West out there
