kind of feel like we need a thread for the chris dorner situation

cops just doing great work as usual: http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-74362381/

David Perdue was on his way to sneak in some surfing before work Thursday morning when police flagged him down. They asked who he was and where he was headed, then sent him on his way.

Seconds later, Perdue's attorney said, a Torrance police cruiser slammed into his pickup and officers opened fire; none of the bullets struck Perdue.

His pickup, police later explained, matched the description of the one belonging to Christopher Jordan Dorner — the ex-cop who has evaded authorities after allegedly killing three and wounding two more. But the pickups were different makes and colors. And Perdue looks nothing like Dorner: He's several inches shorter and about a hundred pounds lighter. And Perdue is white; Dorner is black.

"I don't want to use the word buffoonery but it really is unbridled police lawlessness," said Robert Sheahen, Perdue's attorney. "These people need training and they need restraint."

ITT the shocking revelation that the LAPD is batshit insane

Good phrase to remember during internet beefs: "I don't want to use the word buffoonery but..."

i know there are some good cops all over the place, but damn my reflex is to hate em on sight.

And Perdue is white; Dorner is black.

Nice work to drop that in as if an afterthought.

i'm just skimming the last couple pages of this, but this is bizarre. hillary clinton shoutouts, praise for the hangover movies, it's got it all

Chief Charlie Beck called Dorner a "trained assassin"

whut

the last few pages of that are great

i love that his list of the most beautiful women on the planet includes Margaret Cho

revived to kill again

this whole thing has been weird... obv he has the entire state of california looking for him but it didn't seem like he was gonna run into the mountains and hide

our man hoos posted this to fb

http://gizmodo.com/5983175/report-ex+cop-christopher-dorner-is-now-a-target-for-drones

and honestly, even with the typical blog-reporting style "it's PRESUMABLY not armed" melodrama when it hasn't even been officially 100 confirmed that they're even using drones to track him (let alone kill him) yet, if it's true this is one of the most incredibly unsettling things about this whole story to me, even though i guess i should have assumed unarmed surveillance drones have been watching us (or waiting to be used to watch us) forever now.

police get access to every laptop webcam in hopes of catching glimpse of dorner, boobs

Chief Charlie Beck called Dorner a "trained assassin"

whut

the police have been dropping all kinds of hilarious action movie cliches during this, including "we trained him" and "nobody else has to die [if dorner turns himself in]," which i like because of the (true) implication that the police are holding southern california hostage until he's caught

i hope he escapes to south america

Bon voyage, motherfucker...you were good.

Friend pointed out that his tastes are really entry level except w it came to comedy. Truly the first serial killer to have done this for the upvotes.

health advice for Chris Christie

They're evacuating a Lowe's in Northridge because they believe he's in there. When I think of Northridge in the movies I think of the cop chase scene on the L.A. River in Terminator 2 and the squad car getting toast at a Cal State Northidge parking lot in "Superbad," so this might be the fitting place to wind down.

Chase through the dry L.A. riverbed would be a classic ending.

Following the FBI firing many rounds into clothing-trees of down jackets before seeing a figure run out the back entrance.

I'm sure the regular criminals of L.A. are glad this Dorner thing has the L.A.P.D. going bonkers. I could almost see some kind of James Elroy mobster type using a situation like this to even some scores and set it up to look like this nut job did it.

well LAPD has ordered all motorbike cops off the road until this is over. Cops are probably instructed to remain in their cars as much as possible as well

The Terminator and Superbad setting is also funny because Dorner is a bit of a amalgamation of Robert Patrick's cop and Seth Rogan's.

The fuck is liam neeson throughout all this

I posted this in the other thread but a friends house was behind where the cops shot those newspaper ladies and bullets hit it and a a couple other houses in the neighborhood

an estimated 75-100 bullets or something

The fuck is liam neeson throughout all this

being brought up to speed by the Tom Lee Jones character prob

I drove by it the day after because it was on my way somewhere and there were a bunch of noticeable bulletholes in trees and shit xp

If it takes him two days to get up to 2013 tlj speed then we're really in a bind here

75 - 100 bullets at completely innocent people? Not sure how I can dispute his manifesto's description of the LAPD.

"How do you know Dorner's not on the roof with the girl?"

Tommy Lee jones: He's not up there, he doesn't want the girl

"What does he want?!

*beat*

Tommy Lee Jones: ...It's me he wants...let me up there.

oh sorry, writing a rough draft of something

The number of shots is an estimated number that her dad heard (it was her family home). Their house, garage, and cars in the driveway were all hit multiple times

cunga step aside so al leong can show us how it's done

Wait so HOW many completely wrong innocent bystanders have the LAPD shot at so far thinking it was him. Three? None of whom were large black men or even in the same kind of car. Buffoonery doesnt even start to cover it.

He's still here.

I can feel it.

Maybe eight, ten more hours max. Enough time for him to set up a new out. After that? He's gone, bam, bye-bye.

I could almost see some kind of James Elroy mobster type using a situation like this to even some scores and set it up to look like this nut job did it.

it is kinda similar to the plot of his most recent novel, except the guy was actually gay

and the equivalent of the manifesto was written by the ppl setting him up

People are saying that the 18 page one is fake? Any credence to this? Of course, this is in the comments section of the LA times article. But I've seen other versions that are only 10 pages long. Kind of hoping the entirety of the 18 page manifesto is real, I like what a tolerant and progressive paranoid/manifesto writing nutball he is.

gotta say going by what i'd heard i was sort of hoping this manifesto would be a little more huey newton than reddit poster

kind of think that some news sources excised all the non-LAPD stuff, leading people to think that the complete version was "fake" because it included that

more michael connelly than elroy imo - bet harry bosch will pursue dorneresque character (minus elroyian repressed gay angle) in a few years

scuba gear

From the bizarro-logic that's dictating this story, Dorner will wear the "Not Chris Dorner Please Do Not Shoot" t-shirt and sneak into LAPD HQ untouched.

Either that or the guy wearing the "Not Chris Dorner Please Do Not Shoot" t-shirt will get shot by the LAPD because "that's what he wants us to think!"

I guess the cops shooting those two delivery women is going to accelerate the decline of the newspaper industry.

@michaelhayes

AP and LA Times reporting that Chris Dorner was sighted at Big Bear and exchanged gunfire with police.

it would be great if o came out and said, "the state of the union sucks. now let's go watch that christopher dorner thing."

looks like dorner's going to cop killer valhalla

Fulfills the Aristotelian dictums of an inevitable yet unexpected ending.

HuffPost Media ‏@HuffPostMedia
LAPD now apparently refuting media reports on Dorner — 'any reports that a body has been found are not true.'

Laura Prepon has blood on her hands

Would be remarkable if they succeeded in burning down an empty cabin.

I think you mean 'typical'

I don't want to use the word "buffoonery", but, yes, "typical" works for me.

Heltebrake was driving on Glass Road with his Dalmatian, Suni, when a hulking African American man stepped into the road, Laframboise said.

Beginning of a romance novel

dorner = bigfoot?

Just before 5 p.m., authorities smashed the cabin's windows, pumped in tear gas and called for the suspect to surrender. They got no response. Then, using a demolition vehicle, they tore down the cabin's walls one by one. When they reached the last wall, they heard a gunshot, officials said, and then the cabin burst into flames.

With the billions poured into law enforcement for drug war reasons, you'd think they'd have now devised a procedure for nabbing the lone occupant of a small domecile alive.

Meh

those procedures put people at risk, hence we needed a drone strike here

zero effort or interest on the part of lapd to take this guy alive. this was an execution squad from the start.

cop cook cop

how big was this cabin if having 3 walls down doesn't let you see what's happening?

(not having TV I haven't seen a single image of the exciting climax)

This is straight up the season finale of Dexter Season 2.

Also, helicopters and broadcast manhunt footage where the dude dies at the end reminded me of the end of Fahrenheit 451(novel version)

Sadly kinda pumped that my dumb photoshop is on buzzfeed

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/2-charged-in-alleged-armed-robbery-of-1-million-watch-in-beverly-hills/3487723/

Two South American nationals, allegedly part of a "crime tourism" group, were charged today for the armed robbery of a $1 million watch from a man sitting on the patio of a restaurant at a Beverly Hills hotel.

During a search of the crew's Airbnb, officers also discovered a handgun registered to the notorious former Los Angeles Police Officer Christopher Dorner, known for committing a series of murders before dying in a standoff with police in 2013, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Jamer Mauricio Sepulveda Salazar, 21, of Columbia, is charged with one count of interference with commerce by robbery -- known as a federal Hobbs Act crime -- and one count of possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence; and Jesus Eduardo Padron Rojas, 19, of Venezuela, is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery.

According to the complaint affidavit, on Aug. 7, the victim was sitting with his wife and two daughters on the patio of a restaurant at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel when one of the suspects allegedly approached and pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at him.

The alleged gunman reportedly pulled back the slide of the handgun, chambering a round. While the first suspect held the victim at gunpoint, the second suspect allegedly approached and removed a silver Patek Philippe watch, which is estimated to be worth $1 million, from the victim's wrist.

Both suspects then fled the scene and eventually entered a blue Toyota Corolla, with Sepulveda allegedly serving as the getaway driver, according to court papers.

On Saturday, law enforcement executed a search warrant at an Airbnb where the South American theft group had allegedly been staying. During the search, officers found a handgun in a bedroom that was registered to Dorner. Later that day, law enforcement conducted a traffic stop on a Chevrolet Equinox and reportedly identified Sepulveda and Padron inside the vehicle.

The Equinox was allegedly linked to another armed robbery in Beverly Hills on Aug. 5, during which a $30,000 Rolex was stolen, prosecutors said.

If convicted on all counts, Sepulveda faces a sentence of up to life in federal prison, while Padron faces up to 20 years, prosecutors noted.

It was not immediately known where the suspects may have gotten Dorner's gun.
