The police were never going to take Dorner alive. This was proven by shooting the van shoothe two Asian women delivering papers and this shooting. Neither resembled Dorner nor did their vehicles. When they had him trapped in the cabin they never sent in a negotiator to try and make him surrender. In no Way excusing Droner’s actions, but I’m convinced that from the onset the police had a dont take him alive order.
I know the LAPD wrote them a settlement check, but don’t know if anything happened to the cops.
I have been here a little over a year, but there have been enough of these stories to fill a book.
