Chief Beck said the ongoing pursuit for Christopher Dorner is a strain on police resources
The manhunt for fugitive former LAPD officer and suspected murderer Christopher Dorner has taken a toll on Southern California police departments.
Hundreds of officers are working on the Dorner case, not just responding to every credible sighting, but also protecting at least 50 families connected to the angry manifesto Dorner allegedly wrote, saying he would kill police.
The response on Sunday at a Lowe's store in Northridge was massive, but the report that Dorner was there was later found to be false -- like many other sightings.

But police say they're not letting up.
"We'll continue to go until we have Mr. Dorner in custody, and the threat has ceased," LAPD Lt. Andy Neiman said Monday.
That is a tall order -- costly not in dollars, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck said, but also in public safety.
"While this continues, our ability to do other things -- to respond to 911, to do criminal investigations, to do community relations events, is crippled," Beck said.

Message to regular citizens: You don’t count unless we mistake you for a target. Message to crooks: Go for it. We have higher priorities.
The old “Give us more money or else” routine.
I've seen a similar thing on a shot of a gray pickup truck.
The LAPD is more concerned about their own safety than that of the general public. Nothing new in that regard. I understand the emotion (I’m more concerned about me than them), but cannot allow them the refuge of their extreme hypocrisy re: gun control laws. The Amish may have the right angle on that whole “shunning” thing - except that it requires that the offensive party understand shame, which very few Los Angelinos apparently have. LAPD has assumed the traits of Hollywood. Do I want anyone else dead? No. I also don’t see LAPD in a legitimate victim role.
The gun control part was the first thing I noticed. The bottom line is that the police are now CRIPPLED out there because of Dorner. The people that are lucky enough to be able to defend themselves just may have to step up for a while.
“If I were “LL Cool J”, I would be very worried.”
As long as he keeps the earrings on, he’s ok. I don’t think that Dorner will drop to that level of humanity.
Seeing as how these buffoons already shot up three innocent people who do not even come close to the description of Dorner, the denizens of CA should be afraid. Very afraid.
“I think they should quit talking about this guy as he seems like he is an attention seeker among other things and if he thinks he is not the hot topic he might come out and make some mistakes and then they could nab him.”
My thoughts, too.
BUMP!
THAT’s funny!
If I were Chris Dorner I’d be wearing a shirt like that...
Just heard on Fox News radio, 8:34am, Tuesday, that they’re “investigating 700+ leads”. That’ll take some OT.
This guy is the reason the citizens need a right to bare arms. While the cops are off ignoring 911 calls, the populace needs to protect itself.
The edict forced onto reporters not to make a definitive statement sometimes makes them look foolish. You need to know absolutely nothing about this case to know that every sighting of Dorner has been false.
You know...I THOUGHT Dorner looked familiar.
Mr. J is probably laying very low.
However, it is clear that the overall LAPD enthusiasm for catching a cop killer is on an entirely different level from the overall enthusiasm for protecting ordinary citizens. Some animals are more equal than others.
Spot on!
You nailed that one.
How long will LA spend so much money on one case? What happens if he just goes underground and is not found? What happens if he commits suicide in such a way that his body is not found?
Call the paper tiger's bluff.
After all, when our rights are stripped away by fascists and the Average Joe is morphed into a criminal through unConstitutional laws, what is to prevent hunting politicians to become the preferred "sport" over hunting deer? This may be just a preview of the future if these tyrants don't wise up and back off of their wholesale destruction of our Constitution.
There are not enough police in the entire country to protect them and their families if they succeed in their obvious goals and things turn really ugly. They should be taking lessons from this - not posting large rewards or cheering their ideological hero Dorner on.
