Yet when he had the chance to carry out exactly that threat — to slaughter a temporary law enforcement command post in Big Bear — Dorner passed. For a time, during and after those nine days , Southern California rose above Dorner. We shared our fears, sure, but we looked out for one another, too.
We thanked police officers, even when some made serious mistakes. And while police continue to study those mistakes , the men and women in uniform throughout the region can be proud of a simple fact:. MacKay was a husband and a father , to a boy, Cayden and a girl, Kaitlyn. He and Collins were shot as a team of deputies checked out a half-dozen cabins on a lonely road in a lonely, high country canyon.
The bullets seemed to come from nowhere. A gun suppressor muffled the sounds, making it difficult to know where to shoot back. Michael Siegfried said when I asked him recently to tell what happened. The sergeant described being caught up in that chaos , which in addition to the mysterious bullets included an explosion that came after Dorner shot a tank of compressed oxygen. For a moment, Siegfriend stammered. The horror of the day — the loss, the physical pain that some still endure, the psychological and emotional wounds that still hurt — seemed to be fresh all over again.
Four days later, early on Feb. Minutes later he stumbled upon two more officers, shooting at point blank range and killing Riverside police Officer Michael Crain. Then, after driving into the mountains and getting stuck in his pickup , and then inexplicably torching the truck, Dorner happened upon an empty and unlocked condo in Big Bear.
Dorner had no escape plans. He had no idea how to navigate back-country roads in winter. A few days ago, I knocked on the door of the cabin where Dorner holed up, a cabin that just happened to look out over the makeshift command post that was designed for one thing — to stop Dorner from killing again.
Fugitive ex-police officer Christopher Dorner, 33, hid in this condo about feet across the street from the command post five years ago. Photographed on Sunday, Feb. David Whiting, Orange County Register columnist, follows in the footsteps of fugitive Christopher Dorner five years later.
Dorner died in a Big Bear cabin standoff. The destroyed cabin stood beyond the circle. The columnist was the only journalist to ride along with any law enforcement when the ex-officer, Dorner, when on a shooting rampage five years ago. Even when he knowingly knows your innocent and the BOR also knows your innocent after stated on videotape that he was kicked and attorney confessed to the BOR off the record that she kicked The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants-TJ.
This is toward the LAPD who can not monitor itself. The consent decree should not have been lifted, ever. I know your TTP's, techniques, tactics, and procedures. Any threat assessments you generate will be useless. I will mitigate any of your attempts at preservation. ORM is my friend. I will mitigate all risks, threats and hazards. I assure you that Incident Command Posts will be target rich environments. KMA license plate frames are great target indicators and make target selection even easier.
I will conduct DA operations to destroy, exploit and seize designated targets. If unsuccessful or unable to meet objectives in these initial small-scale offensive actions, I will reassess my BDA and re-attack until objectives are met. I have nothing to lose. My personal casualty means nothing. An enemy who embraces death is a lose, lose situation for their enemy combatants. Hopefully you analyst have done your homework.
You are aware that I have always been the top shot, highest score, an expert in rifle qualifications in every unit I've been in. I will utilize every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordnance, and survival training I've been given.
I'll tell you. It's not the inefficiency of our combatant commanders, planning, readiness or training of troops. They embrace death as it is a way of life. I simply don't fear it. I am the walking exigent circumstance you created.
I am the reason TAC alert was established. I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty. ISR is my strength and your weakness. You will now live the life of the prey. Your RD's and homes away from work will be my AO and battle space. You have misjudged a sleeping giant.
There is no conventional threat assessment for me. Do not deploy airships or gunships. SA-7 Manpads will be waiting. As you know I also own Barrett. Do not attempt to shadow or conduct any type of ISR on me. This will be a war of attrition and a Pyrrhic and Camdean Victory for myself. You may have the resources and manpower but you are reactive and predictable in your op plans and TTP's.
I have the strength and benefits of being unpredictable, unconventional, and unforgiving. Do not waste your time with briefs and tabletops. Whatever pre-planned responses you have established for a scenario like me, shelve it.
Whatever contingency plan you have, shelve it. Whatever tertiary plan you've created, shelve it. I am a walking exigent circumstance with no OFF or reset button. For all other agencies, do not involve yourself in this capture or recovery of me. Look at the big picture of the situation. They LAPD created the situation.
Plus, other officers should not have to take on the additional duties and responsibilities of dead officers. Outside agencies and individual officers on patrol. It behoves you to respond to dispatch that your query was for information purposes only. If you proceed with a traffic stop or attempt to notify other officers of my location or for backup you will not live to see the medal of valor you were hoping to receive for your actions.
Think before you attempt to intervene. You will not survive. Your family will receive that medal of valor posthumously. It will gather dust on the fireplace mantel for years. Then one day, it will go in a shoe box with other memories. Your mother will lose a son or daughter. Your significant other will be left alone, but they will find someone else to fill your void in the future and make them just as happy.
Your children, if you have them, will call someone else mommy or daddy. Don't be selfish. I am off the grid. I know your route to and from home, and your division. I know your significant others routine, your children's best friends and recess. I know Your Sancha's gym hours and routine. I assure you that the casualty rate will be high. Because of that, no one will remember your name. Unfortunately, orphanages will be making a comeback in the 21st century.
If you had a well regulated AWB, this would not happen. The time is now to reinstitute a ban that will save lives. Why does any sportsman need a 30 round magazine for hunting?
Why does anyone need a suppressor? Why does anyone need a AR15 rifle? This is the same small arms weapons system utilized in eradicating Al Qaeda, Taliban, and every enemy combatant since the Vietnam war. Don't give me that crap that its not a select fire or full auto rifle like the DoD uses.
These do not need to be purchased as easily as walking to your local Walmart or striking the enter key on your keyboard to "add to cart". All the firearms utilized in my activities are registered to me and were legally purchased at gun stores and private party transfers. All concealable weapons pistols were also legally register in my name at police stations or FFL's. The answer is NO. I'm not even a resident of the state i purchased them in. Lock n Load just wanted money so they allow you to purchase class III weapons with just a notarized trust, military ID.
Shame on you, Lock n Load. In the end, I hope that you will realize that the small arms I utilize should not be accessed with the ease that I obtained them.
Who in there right mind needs a fucking silencer!!! No one. Whether by executive order or thru a bi-partisan congress an assault weapons ban needs to be re-instituted. Mia Farrow said it best. Feinstein, you are doing the right thing in leading the re-institution of a national AWB. Never again should any public official state that their prayers and thoughts are with the family. That has become cliche' and meaningless.
Its time for action. Let this be your legacy that you bestow to America. Do not be swayed by obstacles, antagaonist, and naysayers. Make sure this never happens again!!! In my cache you will find several small arms. You call him Kenyan, mongroid, halfrican, muslim, and FBHO when in essence you are to address him as simply, President.
The same as you did to President George W. Bush and all those in the highest ranking position of our land before him. Just as I always have. You question his birth certificate, his educational and professional accomplishments, and his judeo-christian beliefs. You make disparaging remarks about his dead parents. Electoral Candidates children Romney state they want to punch the president in the face during debates with no formal repercussions.
No one even questioned the fact that the son just made a criminal threat toward the President. You call his wife a Wookie. Off the record, I love your new bangs, Mrs. A woman whose professional and educational accomplishments are second to none when compared to recent First wives. You say this openly without any discretion.
Before you start with your argument that you believe I would vote for Obama because he has the same skin color as me, fuck you. I didn't vote in this last election as my choice of candidate, John Huntsman, didn't win the primary candidacy for his party. President, I haven't agreed with all of your decisions but of course I haven't agreed with all of your predecessors decisions. I think you've done a hell of a job with what you have been dealt and how you have managed it.
I shed a tear the night you were initially elected President in I never thought that day would occur. A black man elected president in the U. I cracked a smiled when you were re-elected in because I really didn't think you were going to pull that one off. Romney, stop being a sore loser.
You could've exited graciously and still contributed significantly to public service, not now. President, get back to work. Many want to see you fail as they have stated so many times previously.
Unfortunately, if you fail, the U. Do not forget your commitment to transparency in your administration. Sometimes I believe your administration forgets that. America, you will realize today and tomorrow that this world is made up of all human beings who have the same general needs and wants in life for themselves, their kin, community, and state.
They may eat different foods, enjoy different music, have different dialects, or speak a second language, but in essence are no different from you and I.
This is America. We are not a perfect sovereign country as we have our own flaws but we are the closest that will ever exist. Unfortunately, this is not the first time an authoritative figure has lied on me. Remember when you lied to my mother and the police officer in your office about stating that you never stated to me in a private conversation that you know the theft suspect stole my watch.
Let me refresh your memory. A physical education teachers assistant, a student, stole the list of combination codes to peoples lockers, from the P. That student then opened many of those lockers and stole students personal property. My watch was taken in that multi theft an I reported it to you.
A week later you discovered that the theft suspect was , a student. You stated to me in private that you know for a fact he stole my property. When I attempted to retrieve my property from the suspect. Campus security was called and you lied and stated that you never stated to me that you "know he stole my watch". You sat there and lied to their faces right in front of me.
You said it with such a deliberate, stern face. I never forgot that and was not surprised when 13 years later I was lied on again in the BOR by After that, contact my mother and apologize for lying to her in I've had two CT scans during my lifetime that are in my medical record at Kaiser Permanente.
Both are from concussions resulting from playing football. These two CT scans should give a good baseline for my brain activity before severe depression began in late Sure, many of you "law enforcement experts and specialist" will state, "in all my years this is the worst That's not important. Ask yourselves what would cause somebody to take these drastic measures like I did. That's what is important. To my friends listed below, I wish we could have grown old together and spent more time together.
When you reminisce of our friendship and experiences, think of that and that only. Do not dwell on my recent actions the last few days. This was a necessary evil that had to be executed in order for me to obtain my NAME back. The only thing that changes policy and garners attention is death. I Couldn't have had a better big brother than you.
Your spoken wisdom was always retained by me, you old salty Mustang. At the time, I did not comprehend your words. I do now. I never forgot the quote you state below. I love you bro. I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever feeling sorry for itself. What an awesome trilogy. I always strived to live my life parallel to your similar values and personal disciplines.
I always lived my life as WWD what would do. I'm sorry my predicament with the department stopped me from watching you and get married and arguing with you about issues that were insignificant when I was really angry at the LAPD for what they did to me. I'm deeply sorry and I love you guys.
Best quality about you in college and now is that you never sugar coated the truth. I will miss our political discussions that always turned argumentative. Thanks for introducing me to outdoor sports like fishing, hunting, mudding, and also respect for the land and resources. Us city boys don't get out much like you Alaskans. You even introduced me to PBR. A beer, that when you're a poor college student is completely acceptable to get buzzed off of. I'm sorry I'll never get to go on that moose and bear hunt with you.
You are probably the most well balanced person I've ever met and the most driven for success. In college, and after graduation, I was inspired by your personal drive. Never settle. When you make your first million, promise me you won't forget to enjoy it a bit. I know your first reaction will be to invest it somewhere else. Spend a little, just a little. You showed me the importance of fatherhood and friendship. Love you bro. You guys were all important and very special to me.
Don't be angry with me. I missed some of your weddings and unfortunately, some of your funerals. This was a necessary evil. Chris Christie. What can I say? You're the only person I would like to see in the White House in other than Hillary. Some say it is my fault that I was terminated. Yes, , I remember you stating this to me in an angry fit.
You said that I should have kept my mouth shut about another officer's misconduct. Maybe you were right. But I'm not built like others, it's not in my DNA and my history has always shown that. When you view the video of the suspect stating he was kicked by , maybe you will see that I was a decent person after all.
I told the truth. It still hurt that you abandoned me in my time of need. I hope you're happy, that's all I ever wanted for you. I'm not angry with you, but you should have known as an IA investigator. Sgt , you forewarned me long ago about joining LAPD as they were "different" and operated differently from other modern law enforcement agencies. I now know it was your humbleness and respect for all who wear the badge and protect their communities that you didn't just express what you wanted to say, that they lack values and basic ethics as law enforcement officers.
Chief , your fucking awesome. Thanks for the long talks over the years when I was an explorer, college student, Naval officer, and Police officer. Your are a great leader and carry your heart on your sleeve. Your son will be a great Air Force officer with the upringing you provided. Your just an awesome person and my first exposure to what law enforcement was really about was on our ride alongs.
Your realistic approach and empathetic approach to treating all people as humans first is something I carried with me daily. Thank you, every one of you. I never had the opportunity to thank you for allowing me to live a life free of knee joint pain. Thank you. CM1 Ret. You lived by a strict ethos of get it done, and get it done right. I wanted to attend your retirement, I really did. But because of my predicament I was unable to. Hope you and Ritchie are still together.
