Ex-LAPD cop goes to war against colleagues

Dude is dead according to CNN. A body was removed from the cabin; sources say it's Dorner.

 

Break out the marshmallows.

 

Wait, wait, wait. Local sheriff's departments have their own snipers?

 

Sure. They're better known by their formal name, "deer hunters."

 

If they have a SWAT team (and most do), then they have a designated marksman who plays a sniper role.

 

San Bernardino county has a population greater than 14 states.. They probably have snipers.

 

I just read something (and now I cannot recall where) that talked about the increase in police militarization since 9/11. Something like 90 percent of cities with populations 50,000+ have at least one SWAT team.

 

Apparently not so fast. Just saw this on CNN as well

LAPD denies news reports that a body has been recovered at Big Bear. CNN hastily removes "fugitive ex cop found dead" on screen.

America sucks at news coverage.

 

But the Riverside police chief said it was likely him.

Odd.
