Christopher Dorner Wanted For Murder
Former LAPD officer and U.S. Navy reservist Christopher Jordan Dorner is a suspect in the killings of Monica Quan, 28, and Keith Lawrence, 27, who were found shot to death in their car at a parking structure Sunday night, Irvine police Chief David L. Maggard said at a news conference.

Maggard says Dorner implicated himself in the killings with a multi-page manifesto he wrote that was obtained by police, but no further details were given on the manifesto or its contents.
Police do not know Dorner's whereabouts, and authorities were seeking the public's help in finding the suspect.
"We have strong cause to believe Dorner is armed and dangerous," Maggard said, adding anyone who sees the suspect should immediately call 911.

Three officers were shot -- two in Riverside, one in Corona -- Thursday morning, and all of the shootings are likely connected to Christopher Dorner, a former LAPD officer wanted in connection with a double slaying last weekend in Irvine. The homicide involved a former LAPD officer's daughter and her fiancé.
During a 10 a.m. news conference, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck characterized the rampage as a "vendetta against all of Southern California law enforcement."

So what is this "vendetta" that Chief Beck is talking about? Apparently Dorner was fired shortly after blowing the whistle on a fellow cop who was witnessed kicking a handcuffed schizophrenic man who was being taken in to custody. This event combined with 5 years of corruption witnessed within the LAPD has apparently made this ex-cop snap. He claims in the manifesto he posted online that LAPD has ruined his name and life and now has nothing to lose and no fear of dying.
The Manifesto
Dorner left a scathing account of LAPD's misconduct and corruption in his manifesto, including widespread racism and plenty of excessive use of force. He's demanding a public statement by the LAPD clearing his name. Here's some of the more interesting sections.
A name is more than just a noun, verb, or adjective. It’s your life, your legacy, your journey, sacrifices, and everything you’ve worked hard for every day of your life as and adolescent, young adult and adult. Don’t let anybody tarnish it when you know you’ve live up to your own set of ethics and personal ethos.
During the BOR, the department attempted to label me unsuccessfully as a bully. They stated that I had bullied a recruit, XXXX, in the academy when in reality and unfounded disposition from the official 1.28 formal complaint investigation found that I was the one who stood up for XXXX when other recruits sang nazi hitler youth songs about burning Jewish ghettos in WWII Germany where his father was a survivor of a concentration camp. How fucking dare you attempt to label me with such a nasty vile word. I ask that all earnest journalist investigating this story ask Ofcr. XXXX about the incident when Ofcr. XXXX began singing a nazi youth song about burning jewish ghettos.
I ask that all journalist investigating this story submit request for FOIA with the LAPD to gain access to the BOR transcripts which occurred from 10/08 to 2/09. There, you will see that a video was played for the BOR members of Mr. XXXX who suffers from Schizophrenia and Dementia stating that he was kicked by a female officer. That video evidence supports my claim that XXXX kicked him twice in the upper body and once in the face. I would like all journalist to also request copies of all reports that I had written while employed by LAPD.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. How ironic that you utilize a fixed glass structure as your command HQ. You use as a luminous building to symbolize that you are transparent, have nothing to hide, or suppress when in essence, concealing, omitting, and obscuring is your forte.
When the truth comes out, the killing stops.
Terminating officers because they expose a culture of lying, racism (from the academy), and excessive use of force will immediately change. PSB can not police their own and that has been proven. The blue line will forever be severed and a cultural change will be implanted. You have awoken a sleeping giant.
Those of you who “go along to get along” have no backbone and destroy the foundation of courage. You are the enablers of those who are guilty of misconduct. You are just as guilty as those who break the code of ethics and oath you swore.
Self Preservation is no longer important to me. I do not fear death as I died long ago on 1/2/09. I was told by my mother that sometimes bad things happen to good people. I refuse to accept that.
