Now that the Dorner incident is over, the Police Departments of Los Angeles and Torrence need to account for the blatantly unprofessional conduct of their officers.
In two separate incidences the police opened fire on innocent motorists without reason or provocation. A quote from one of the victim’s lawyers stated "As you know, officers of the Torrance Police Department attempted to kill Mr. Perdue" Thursday, the attorneys wrote in a letter to the agency's chief.” I don't want to use the word buffoonery but it really is unbridled police lawlessness," said Robert Sheahen, Perdue's attorney. "These people need training and they need restraint."
In the other incident, again the vehicle did not match Dorner's vehicle and the 2 Asian ladies delivering papers certainly did not match his description, but that did not stop police from opening fire on them wounding one of the ladies. It is just fortunate they were not better shots or we would have 3 innocent people lying in the morgue. The action of these officers was reckless and dangerous and showed complete and total disregard for the safety of anybody besides themselves.
Oh, don't worry - no one was seriously injured, they all just won the lottery - albeit in an exciting manner.
I am really sick and tired of those trigger happy police. They harm more than they serve.
What we need to do is to limit their magazine capacity to 3 and only allow SWAT team to have standard capacity magazines and assault rifles since they have more proper training.
If Dorner did indeed go on a killing rampage, I don't have much sympathy for him.
That being said, it is weird that he supposedly had all these wallets - with his real IDs in them -that apparently he ran around placing in strategic places to be sure that police found them - even to the point where he thought, in the middle of a free for all shootout and a consuming fire, to take his wallet and place it away from his body, apparently in a place that would be safe from the inferno that ensued - as a courtesy to the police when they needed to identify his body.
This thing reeks. The LAPD is out of control and has been for decades. No wonder he was pissed.
Look at the number of shots fired. Why do they need to be so trigger happy? Since most police have backup, what's the reason they have so many rounds in their guns?

Oh, haha - I thought you were being serious.
My bad!
