    In two separate incidents in the early morning hours of February 7, 2013, police fired on people who turned out to be unrelated to Dorner. Dorner was not present at either of the incidents.

    I remember this, didn’t some of them even die?

    Get’s fired from the LAPD for reporting excessive force.

    The LAPD and friends:

    Police initially attempted to force Dorner out of the cabin by using tear gas and demanding his surrender over loudspeakers. When Dorner did not respond, police used a demolition vehicle to knock down most walls of the building. They then shot pyrotechnic tear gas canisters, nicknamed “burners”, into the cabin, which resulted in the cabin catching fire.

    In two separate incidents in the early morning hours of February 7, 2013, police fired on people who turned out to be unrelated to Dorner. Dorner was not present at either of the incidents.

    At about 5:30 am (PST), at least seven LAPD officers on a protection detail of an unnamed LAPD official’s residence in the 19500 block of Redbeam Street[93] in Torrance opened fire on the back of a light blue Toyota Tacoma and shot its two occupants, Emma Hernandez (71) and her daughter, Margie Carranza (47) delivering newspapers for the Los Angeles Times. According to their attorney Glen Jonas, 102 bullet holes were found in the truck. The LAPD declined to confirm the total number of officers involved or how many bullets were fired or if any verbal warnings were given to the women before the shooting began.

    Approximately 25 minutes after that incident, officers from the Torrance Police Department (TPD) opened fire on and struck another vehicle. Like the first shooting, the incident involved a vehicle that police claimed resembled the description of Dorner’s truck, but was later discovered to be a black Honda Ridgeline driven by David Perdue, a white male. A TPD police cruiser slammed into Perdue’s pickup and officers opened fire.

    Dorner murdered a couple because the woman’s dad was a cop who had a hand in his firing. That’s not justice that’s vile revenge.
