Who is Christopher Dorner?

Documents obtained by The Associated Press on Friday show ex-officer Christopher Dorner unsuccessfully requested a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend after she posted his badge number on a website called Dontdatehimgirl.com.

In the posting, Ariana Williams calls Dorner "twisted" and "super paranoid" and warns other women on the website not to date him.

Dorner is suspected of killing a former LAPD captain's daughter, her fiance and a Riverside police officer. He's also suspected of wounding two other officers.

Dorner posted a 14-page manifesto online vowing revenge for his 2008 firing from the LAPD.

Williams' attorney didn't return a call or email.

• Manhunt for ex-cop goes on amid Calif. snowstorm
• Pictures: Ex-LAPD cop accused of going on killing spree
• Friends recall Dorner's behavior

Southern California authorities hunting Dorner plan to search through the weekend in snow-covered mountains where the former Los Angeles police officer torched and abandoned his pickup truck.

As of noon Friday there has been no sign of Dorner, but San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon says searchers will press on unless there's evidence Dorner has left the Big Bear Lake area.

Deputies have searched many residences and are now focusing on 200 vacant cabins in the surrounding forest.

Mayor Jay Obernolte says there's been no panic. He says ski areas are open because there's no substantial threat to the resorts.

On Thursday, law enforcement officials were inspecting a package CNN's Anderson Cooper received from Dorner. CNN spokeswoman Shimrit Sheetrit said that a parcel containing a note, a DVD and a bullet hole-riddled memento was addressed to Cooper's office.

Ex-LAPD Chief: Police "on edge" in hunt for cop killer

The memento was a coin bearing the name of former Los Angeles Police Chief Bill Bratton, who appeared with Dorner in a picture taken years ago. On "CBS This Morning" Friday, Bratton described Dorner as "an incredibly dangerous individual" and reacted to the damaged coin.

"When you see that that coin that was given in friendship and respect has three bullet holes, it's certainly very chilling," Bratton said.

How many guys have ex girlfriends and/or wives who have called them sick and twisted, or worse? Everyone?

..she's just out to make a buck off (eye-for-an-eye)Dorner.

He's now in Geneva, Switzerland at the Fairmount having cocktails.

Everyone has experienced a day of having those in power or the powers that be - "lord it over them..." But most of us simply distance ourselves and move on - that this guy snapped and killed a young woman and a young man who had no clue about the events between Dorner and the woman's father shows he is heartless - Dorner could have pushed to get his story of the LAPD's abuses out there - and maybe the feds would have investigated his claims.

A good example of how most people are going to feel as his corpse is transported to the morgue will be a little like how everyone felt about Al Queda after the twin towers -

"yes, maybe you have a point about abuses and alledged abuses by an overbearing US - but now that you have killed men, women and children - we now only want to see you captured or killed...."

All of Christopher Dorner's photos have him smiling!
His friends outside the police department said he was a great guy; one quote I read said, "My experience with Mr. Dorner was overwhelmingly positive. I never saw any indications in him that he was violent or particularly aggressive, certainly nothing that would suggest to me that he could commit the crimes with which he's been accused.""
All the allegations and negative crap about Dorner is coming from the LAPD and their associates.
Dorner tried to do the right thing when he reported an officer for kicking a suspect twice in the chest and once in the face, while cuffing him.

During the hearing I feel the other officers hide behind the Blue Wall of Silence and lied to cover their A**, and turned it back on Dorner.
It may be reasonable to assume Dorner was shunned, harassed, and threatened until the other officers had stripped him of his dignity, and deprived him of the one thing he lived for, being a good and honorable police officer.

Is it imaginable that some members of the force threatened to KILL him (Dorner) if he did not clam up? Could that have pushed him over the edge?
The killings that Dorner has done are inexcusable.
I tend to believe that before these terrible murders, Christopher Dorner was basically a good soul, and that his experience with the LAPD had left him without hope!

Whatever the outcome of this senseless murder spree, I feel the LAPD has covered for some dishonorable officers at Christopher Dormers' expense.
The justice department and the FBI should do a full investigation of this matter; I believe there may be a fair amount of truth in Christopher Dorner's Manifesto.

[sweetcakesmaria]

I concur!

[chris_bray]

I agree. Dorner may have snapped, and while I don't condone his actions, there is more to this story than the biased media is putting out. The LAPD has long been an agency of questionable ethics and behaviors. One looney girlfriend doesn't tell the whole story for me. I would like to hear from others who were close to him. The FBI should investigate this whole matter and hopefully do it in an honest manner.

[dennisinmich]

Wow. I am shocked that people actually think that this guy is in Big Bear. Remember that he is an ex-cop. He probably paid two crack-heads $500 to drive the car to Big Bear, set it on fire, and then the first guy got into the second car and drove back to LA County. Now the cops are searching the frozen mountains and tundra to find someone who is probably laughing in a cozy hotel room in LA as he sees these stories on the news. This guy may be crazy, but he is not stupid. Sly like a fox. Why would anyone--including experienced survivalists--put themselves into a physically challenging predicament for no reason? There's no way he is in the mountains in the height of winter. Unfortunately, he could be anywhere and he will strike again. Just an opinion with someone who has street-smarts.

[Sknox77]

I agree. Although the way I come to this is he set his truck on fire so people would find it. I think he's smart enough to know if you don't want your car found you drive it into a lake or off a cliff. Big Bear is a decoy. He's some place where he's watching the news, keeping an eye on things and planning his next attack. The thing Baca should do is publicly say they will reopen an investigation to his claims and Dorner should turn himself in. He might do it. It says the killings will stop in his manifesto if this is the case. Too bad Dorner didn't just write a book on LAPD corruption instead of doing this. I'm a fan of the police and they have handled this like a nightmare. Shooting at 2 different trucks? We are so lucky those people in those trucks didn't die.

[elocutionist]

This one-man force of terror must be taken out. Bring in the drones. And don't wait for Obama, congress, or all the commenters claiming drone strikes on murderers are unethical IF they are American citizens-- ludicrous. Whether shot by an officer or drone, use of deadly force is justified, the mode of attack makes no difference. Do it, or that list of 40 and more will be terminated, and this mass murderer will have the country trembling in fear, giving Al Qaeda new confidence to strike with more deadly force than ever before.

[Ramosxb]

Gosh, don't they have to know where he is to "bring in the drones?" It would be shocking if he were in those mountains somewhere. Th abandoned truck is an obvious decoy.

Once again, mental illness is the root cause and only dealing with the mental illness will resolve it. In Papua New Guinea they didn't have guns so they tortured and burned a woman to death. And now we have a President who thinks assassination of those who don't believe as he does is acceptable. Sorry, I'm never going to be that sick or cold hearted.

[sweetcakesmaria]

Seems like you already have a sickness since you have to somehow interject President Obama into every sordid story on the net.

[1pheasant1]

Have at it, Rej. We can all comment about your heroics tomorrow. Big talk from a chickenhawk!

[mkultra2013]

Why are the jack boot thugs spending so much time effort on the veteran with the semi-auto manifesto? Because he lied about LAPD kicking a slave in the face? Because he threatened the elite? How many slaves have been shot murdered since then? Why aren't they looking for the new killers with the same amount of manpower?
