I suspect the SHOOTING of two civilians by the LAPD may be swept under the rug as collateral damage during this dragnet for Dorner. Those civilians did not pose any deadly force threat, did not use any weapons, did not confront police...and were shot from behind.
Please tell me the LAPD will arrest these officers for manslaughter or at the very least should the grandmother die, of negligent homicide. Even so, the use of deadly force that results in the death of a civilian that they were AIMING THEIR GUNS TOWARDS despite the mistaken identity issue....pickup truck...is inexcusable.
Dorner may be dangerous, but at least his killing is directed towards certain individuals. The actions of these LAPD officers is a total lack of professionalism, and their use of DEADLY FORCE in this fashion is CRIMINAL in its application with consequences to any civilians who 'fit' their gunsights or their own self-induced fear in dealing with the public.
Two Texas DPS served twenty years in a Georgia prison for crossing State Lines to capture and detain an 'escaped parolee' whose paperwork clearly show he was released and had served his time. He was kidnapped from his own home at gunpoint, and were it not for his wife who notified Georgia authorities....this kidnapping might have gone along as business as usual for Texas law enforcement to roam the nation outside of their jurisdiction and without the assistance of local Georgia law enforcement to apprehend a 'current criminal' on the loose. What is legal in one state...is not legal in another. LAPD may sweep this one under the rug, but you can be sure as long as people allow this kind of police power, we do not live in a democracy, but a true police state.
Wouldn't it be fair and practical to arrange for Dorner's surrendering in the presence of news reporters, in front of live TV cameras, providing he disarms himself in full view, while being broadcasted live?
Doing so, would be a life-saving event - not to mention SMART for both concerned parties.
