Former LAPD officer goes over the edge


Recommended Posts

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.\

I find it interesting that you can come to these conclusions, yet still make statements in the gun control threads that amount to claims that the US government is not leaning into tyrrany, so there is no need to arm the citizenry.

They do not need a bunch of untrained Bounty Hunters getting in their way.

Yea, wouldn't want to chance this guy gets brought in alive or anything.

LAPD have no intention of bringing this guy in, they want to shut him up, they dont want his story out, as evidenced by the shoot first and ask questions later policy when confronting pick up trucks recently.

The news cast keeps saying, "If he is in it".... like they are unsure.

Can't see if he was killed or not ?

Nothing yet. They keep saying, "they believe they have him in it (the cabin)." But there hasn't been any actual confirmation.

Trust but verify.

I prefer to keep leery and verify :p

Also, they think there may be hostages now.

Two deputies were wounded, I believe that he is in that cabin. Why would any other person shoot at the deputies?

in a way i hope he gets away. He doesn't seem to be targeting unrelated people such as the police are.

Yeah he had two hostages, but he didnt seem to hurt them and one was able to escape.

To me the guy still seems like a good guy that got ****ed way over and it ruined his life. Sure he could be crazy, but seems they drove him to that point.

Not saying what he's doing is right though, no one should eve be killed.

You want a killer to get away? Strange

Just listened to the shoot-out on CBS live stream, thought I heard them shout 'He's down' but then there was more shooting so I guess not

So you condone Monica Quan's death?

This dude is a murderer...nothing more and nothing less. If they can not bring him to justice then taking him down like the dog he is will be justified.

Dorner may have been wronged by the LAPD...but whatever their actions were do not justify Dorner going around killing cops.

yes thats what i said :rolleyes:

I like how people only read what they want to hear, and ignore the rest.

Such as the last line in my post.

I just hope everyone is brought to justice in this situation, including, and especially the police.

I have the same mentality you do. It's not right, but it's what is needed.

ok, so you want a murderer to get away to kill more? Getting closer?

If one of the 3 people he killed was you Brother would you feel the same??

His "brother" should know before hand what he's getting involved into. It's law enforcement and it's a life endangering job.

Letting emotions that block out common sense never made a good argument over anything.

If any of my family was a police officer anymore ( my uncle used to be , but quit because of the corruption ) , I would still understand his cause. I would be sad for the lost, and angry too. But my hate would be more directed towards the broken system that makes people have to do such a thing to even get a chance.

...and one of the victims was your daughter who was nothing but a simple basketball coach?

There goes it again, pandering with hypothetical thought and emotions that didn't happen.

If I want things the change, the work no one wants to deal with needs to be done or else it turns into a bigger mess endangering innocent lives like we're witnessing.

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
