Former LAPD officer goes over the edge


Recommended Posts

Well lets not turn this into another Bush Bashing Thread. Bush did not start any wars, if you recall the US was attacked on 9.11.2001. The Intel that the Congress had was the same as Bush. The Congress OK'd the invasion of Iraq.

So it's okay to bash Obama but not Bush? It was Bush that initiated the use of drones, started two disastrous wars, supported torture and savaged civil liberties and due process (illegal wiretapping, TSA, Guantanamo Bay, etc). Why is that relevant to this topic? Because it demonstrates a consistent culture of abuse of power, whereby scaremongering by the government and media results in the general public becoming accepting of ever more extreme infringements of the personal liberties. For instance, a recent poll suggests that a third of Americans would accept cavity searches being conducted by the TSA when boarding a flight. That's right, you can walk right onto a train without issue but step on a plane and people are happy to have agents probe their mouth, anus and/or vagina.

The same is true of policing. People aren't even slightly phased or concerned when police shoot unarmed, naked suspects; when more than forty-rounds are fired by multiple officers in execution style to take down someone with a knife; when suspects "commit suicide" while handcuffed in the back of a police car after having supposedly been searched; or when police handcuff 7-yr old children to a wall and interrogate them for eight hours, etc. People should be demanding that the officers involved in the shooting of the unrelated truck be fired and brought up on criminal charges, yet almost certainly nothing will come of it (just look at the US Davis pepper-spray incident).

You have to wonder if there's more to this for the police to shoot at that pickup when they just thought it was him in it.

With the first car they shot up (The two Hispanic ladies), they were doing a Newspaper run early in the morning (still dark) by zig-zagging across the road (to each customer), slowing down and speeding up constantly (to each customer), turning off their headlights when turning corners (as not to disturb the neighbours in the corner homes trying to sleep), turning their high beams back on when finished turning the corner (as it's dark).

After turning this particular corner, the Police were en route to protect a senior Police official who is on the hit list, see a truck of a similar description (it was dark) without headlights, then blind them with high beams after turning the corner, while zig zagging start/stop across the road.

To them, not thinking of a newspaper run, this looked awfully suspicious.

They jumped the gun by not following proper procedures for a stop and just started unloading right away, shooting up the car, hitting both women in the back, and hitting various houses and other cars behind the car they were aiming at.

I can see how it looked suspicious but absolutely no excuse to skip procedure. It is attempted murder, in the very least it is Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and I hope the officers involved are charged as such.

As for the second car that matched the description more closely, and was shot up and ran off the road but without injury, I don't know what the story is there.

I've always wondered what happens in cases like this, do the Police have to pay for the damages? What happens if a Police car is en route to an emergency with lights and sirens but still has a car accident with a citizen where the citizen would usually have right of way, but simply did not have a chance to avoid the emergency vehicle (eg: Police car ran red light without slowing down for other cars to give way) do the Police pay damages for this too? It seems that Police worldwide are given a lot of immunity to do what they want without liability.

Anyway back on topic, this serial killer is complete scum, a terrorist, his cause is not justified to commit murder, and if this really was a vendetta against particular individuals then he would not be killing his targets' spouse or innocent Police officers on patrol who have nothing to do with his gripe.

They did right by firing him because he is not fit to be a Police officer if he is capable of such things and they should have kicked him out or screened him much sooner on psychological grounds - His ex-wife knew he was a mentally disturbed... there were signs. Then again I'm sure there are plenty of other officers still serving who are Psychopaths, but instead of getting off on murder, they get off on giving out unfair tickets.

No solid proof that he killed those 2 innocent people. The person who made the call saying they were Dorner, was apparently in Washington at the time of the call. Would be very hard to get from the place of the killings to Vancouver Washington in that amount of time. Remember, his cause is how ****ed up the police are about lying and making people look guilty when they aren't. We know this to be a true fact. Don't trust the media until everything is out. It very well could have been someone else who did those 2 killings, but the police are pinning it on him just to get extra support against him. Just a theory, but plausible.

Our police are corrupt and the system they hide behind is just as corrupt and broken. Sadly, this is the only type of action that can fix the system. Unless someone thinks we can just use the broken law to fix the broken law... but I've never found that using a broken anything has helped fix itself.

Trust but verify.

BBC News just put up a headline that the guy has been charged, don't know if that means in his absence or not, they are still talking about the pope right now

EDIT - I guess it's nothing, the pope and horse-meat are making headlines now

Damn straight

But being serious there mustn't be anything new or it would have taken over the news channel, I just saw his face with the headline that he had been charged, ripped my headphones off to listen and there was nothing more said about it

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
