Neither pickup matched the description of the perp's. Different color too.
He’s probably doing this to show the world how inept these “experts” are. As well as how violent the LAPD is.
Shooting 2 women delivering newspapers? Someone also mentioned in another thread they shot at another truck as well.
Just a humble opinion over this. If I was this guy...I’d have a friend who lives up in Big Bear...drive the truck up...set fire to ensure no fingerprints off it, and the friend just hikes five miles over to his place.
I’m of the mind that this guy is quietly sitting with an associate or two...who all share the same view of a bad-cop atmosphere in LA. He can sit quietly for six weeks while they sit there and pull sixty hours a week of duty (don’t know where the extra cost will come from). Then he’ll come out and perform one shooting, and go back into a month-long silence.
I don’t think this guy will make mistakes. He’s a bit smarter than what they typically go up against...and he’s one of their own. He knows where they hang out, and how to trip them up. Figure a car bomb or two along the way....probably some mail-bombs. This could turn into a very long year for the LA police department.
And eventually....some reporter is going to reopen the mess that created this and ask stupid questions. He may have been half-right about their actions being wrong.
He knows how the police operate. He knew they would fall for the old “flaming vehicle” ploy, spending a lot of time working Big Bear, while he was probably heading for the AZ desert....a classic distraction move.
And why in the world do SWAT teams have to wear masks to search door-to-door? Oh well, at least they kept their noses warm in the snow.
He’s not up there and I doubt the law enforcement agencies are feeding the MSM any real info at this point. Loose lips sink ships....
Yeah... the problem here is because he killed cops all of these resources are thrown at finding him. People get killed everyday with much less fanfare, and much less effort to find the killer.

Why do I wish a civilian with an AR-15 takes this guy out?
He won’t last long. He’s a big, fat, black, ugly guy and can’t really blend in anywhere.
He also says he has no friends or family. He doesn’t look like a survivalist, but a guy who eats fast food.
Consider also they are lying, that Obama explicitly ruled out aiding the embassy, and they are hiding that by saying he left all decisions with Panetta.
My guess is he will be found dead of exposure. I suppose anything is possible but that is the most likely ending.
This guy has been clever so far, so I doubt he was stupid enough to leave tracks leading into the woods unless that was exactly where he would NOT be when they searched the area.
I’m with you. He’s melted into background of a city somewhere. Probably has one or more prearranged “safe houses” to hide & plan his next move.
Soon he’ll set off another diversion in another remote location, and the LAPD will bite yet again.
