Police: Dorner Is Heavily Armed, Trained and Dangerous
KTLA5 ^ | 9 February 2013 | Rick Chambers

BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. — The ex-cop suspected in the killings of an officer and two others remained at large Friday as darkness fell over a mountain forest and police suspended their manhunt until Saturday morning. “Once it gets dark out there and the snow keeps falling and they have no air support, I don’t know how effective they would be in that situation,” spokeswoman Cindy Bachman of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.

Throughout Friday, more than 100 officers searched through fresh snow for clues to the whereabouts of Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, a fired Los Angeles Police Department officer and former Navy lieutenant suspected in the three killings. Dorner allegedly wrote a manifesto declaring a war of revenge on police, authorities said.

By Friday night, police were expected to have completed a search of vacant cabins in the snowpacked forest of the San Bernardino Mountains near the resort town of Big Bear Lake, Bachman said.

“My opinion of the suspect is unprintable,” Riverside police Chief Sergio Diaz said, hours after one of his officers was killed. “The manifesto, I think, speaks for itself (as) evidence of a depraved and abandoned mind and heart.”

– Despite Dorner’s statement in the letter that “when the truth comes out, the killing stops,” Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck said authorities don’t plan to apologize to Dorner or attempt to clear his name. Dorner’s firing, Beck said Thursday, had already been “thoroughly reviewed.”

– In Nevada on Thursday, FBI agents searched Dorner’s Las Vegas home. The search forced some of Dorner’s neighbors out of their homes for several hours, CNN affiliate KLAS reported.

Wouldn't it be helpful to have electronic tracking devices inbedded in all LEOs?

That would be great, but I think Our rulers will reserve that for us law abiding, gun owning Americans.

I just read that manifesto. This guy is serious and he’s already counting himself as a dead man. Very dangerous and lethal combination. Ex-cop, heavily armed, has intel and its gadgets, severely depressed, knows the law enforcement system inside and out, 3 years to plan.

Sounds like this guy is going Rambo. In his mind, LAPD drew first blood.

If I was on that manifesto list, I be very cautious right now. Apparently, he expected LAPD to continually crap him tiffany cufflinks everyday.

What do you think the JBT’s reaction would be if one of the neighbours had said “No” when “asked” to vacate his own home whilst the JBT’s went through Dorner’s house?

Yeah, I thought so...

Well, I’m sure they at least had a search warrant for this one.

My guess is that Dorner is sitting warm, comfortable and satiated somewhere in LA, planning his next strike.

The most dangerous element of this is that he said in his manifesto that he is trained in demolitions.

A long time ago I knew some Army Explosive Ordnance Demolition (bomb disposal) types. They had an ongoing contest, in which they picked a random major city in the world, and as a thought problem, figured out how it could be paralyzed, for under $500. That is, cut off its water, electricity, sewage, communications, transportation, etc.

For under $500.

They did this contest on speculation that if some other *trained* individual(s) tried to do this, they would pick many of the same vulnerabilities. And if they did, the EOD would know where to look to neutralize their bombs.

Importantly, bombing is by far the most effective terrorist attack, because it picks all the criteria of the attack, and by the time the bomb goes off, optimally the bomber is many miles away.

The best example of this was New York’s “Mad Bomber”, who blew up bombs for 16 years before being caught.

He might be frozen solid under a snow drift up there somewhere by now.

The LAPD is right to be scared. However, they are wrong in trying to scare everyone else. Dorner is after them...not the civilian populace.

I thought the Riverside Chief of Police’s words were spot on, totally professional, and actually THE words that described any of this.

Interesting. Jesus, even when falsely accused and being led to execution, totally innocent, didn't say anything "unprintable". Hard to defend that and in doing so, you show your lack of character. Dorner, in killing people over a job dismissal, shows far worse vacuum of character. This nation is lost.

I would like to see a comparison of allocated resources between Dorn and all the other murders that occurred in the same time period in LA.

From reading his manifesto, it sounds like they lied to protect a female cop, ruined his career, his reputation, and ultimately his life. His statements have the ring of truth. I’m not saying that what he has done is right, but I am saying that it looks like the cops are now trying to further break the law by trying to murder him to shut him up, which in the grand scheme of things is a far worse crime than the ones they’re accusing him of committing.

It’s time for the LAPD leadership to come under the supervision of the National Guard and a full blown investigation initiated.

“they have no air support”

Are there no B-52s in California? Carpet bomb Big Bear. Borrow a Predator from Obama.

Sadly, no. Not for a long time.

“The best example of this was New York’s “Mad Bomber”, who blew up bombs for 16 years before being caught.”

I’d say the Norway shooter was quite effective too. He lit off the bomb in Oslo, had the police from the entire southern half of Norway at the site (they have very few police in that part of the world, which is going to be a HUGE problem when it comes to even holding on to the government...but that’s another discussion), and then went to that Socialist Training Camp and shot them up - unmolested for like an hour, before anyone could get there.

I wonder if they’re kicking in all the doors and windows of those vacant cabins.

I have read that they have done exactly that.

But he didn’t say the words. And of course he is not Jesus. I think, for the mayhem Dorner has committed and caused, he was very professional and appropriate. Lucky we don’t have to agree. And actually, you know very little about my character.

“Dorner is after them...not the civilian populace.”

Right, a cop has been wronged by a corrupt Police force that cares noting of individual rights, ethics, or their public trust —— So he seeks to end their existence?

Man did you see the snow Connecticut got last night?
