When cop killer Christopher Dorner was on the loose and terrorizing southern California, some 30 groups joined together to put a $1 million price on his head. But after the former LAPD officer killed himself while barricaded in a mountain cabin in February, some of those groups have gotten stingy.
A law enforcement union became the latest of the contributors to voice second thoughts about its $60,000 share of the reward, following a similar decision by the city of Riverside to withdraw its pledge of $100,000. With Dorner dead and no shortage of prospective claims to the pot, it seems some of the groups behind the reward have developed an appreciation for fine print. Specifically, the part that authorized a payout for information leading to the "arrest" and "conviction."
Its on hold, Ron Cottingham, president of the 64,000-member Peace Officers Research Association of California, told FoxNews.com. The authorization for that pledge came from the board of directors. And since the circumstances under which they offered the pledge toward the reward do not seem to have been fulfilled, its still on hold.

Send that message Cali. The next time, you will get NO help from your populace. You proved you can’t be trusted. Especially after shooting up that population. Now this?
Brilliant.

The police Dept. does just as good a job rendering future reward offers meaningless as 0bama does for morale in the military.

Bastards.
“We offered a $100,000 reward for Dorner’s arrest and conviction. Since he got killed instead, we’re not going to pay a penny.”
What scum.
To: NoLibZone
well... they made damn SURE there'd be no arrest, so no conviction was assured, mission accomplished!!!

I called it:
The dead and wounded officers families should split the reward. No.
The reward belongs to the couple who turned him in.
They won't get it on the technicality that he wasn't arrested.
As to the dead cops? There are already pension and survivor's benefits in place.
Still, I'd be willing to voluntarily contribute my own money to a special fund.
Donating someone else's reward money? Not so much.

Fixed your typos:
We offered a $1,000,000 reward for Dorners arrest and conviction. Since he got killed we deliberately killed him instead, were not going to pay a penny.

Either the guy in the hijacked car or the hostages in the cabin, or both, should file suit.

hahahahahaha..... the ones that will collect are the donut munchers. They’ll collect on the bets placed on whether or not he would come out feet first, head first or up in smoke.
