LAPD shoots 71-year-old woman and her daughter by mistake during Dorner manhunt.

Kalifornia needs cop control more than gun control.

The truck was showered with bullets as the two women approached the group of officers. A resident voiced his opinion on the LAPD mistake asking, “How do you mistake two Hispanic women, one who is 71, for a large black male?” Richard Goo also said that his house had five bullet holes in the entryway from the police shooting at the women's pickup.

One guy can cost the country millions of dollars in manpower, "security" and chasing a ghost.

I like how every news outlet and expert has him says he's nuts.

He's shot fewer people than those in uniform did.

Maybe he was simply a whistle blower (informant, not pole smoker) within a corrupt organization, that felt he ran out of options. There is corruption everywhere. Anybody that has been on the wrong side of a rogue officer once in his life knows how terrifying that can be.

But I'm sure there isn't any corruption in the LAPD. They're clean.

Only the *****in LAPD could make a folk hero out of some nutjob by shooting innocent civilians who drive a truck vaguely like his. They seriously opened fire on a truck approaching them that had an elderly Hispanic woman in it?

Every cop on the scene should be tried for attempted murder.

Vaguely is even a stretch, his truck a gray Nissan Titan, the truck they open fire on was aqua blue Toyota Tacoma.

Seems they really don't want any part of this dude and the orders are to shoot first and sort out the BS later.

By Robert Faturechi Los Angeles Times

David Perdue was on his way to sneak in some surfing before work Thursday morning when police flagged him down. They asked who he was and where he was headed, then sent him on his way.

Seconds later, Perdue's attorney said, a Torrance police cruiser slammed into his pickup and officers opened fire.

His pickup, police later explained, matched the description of the one belonging to Christopher Jordan Dorner. But the pickups were different makes and colors. And Perdue looks nothing like Dorner: He's several inches shorter and about a hundred pounds lighter. And Perdue is white; Dorner is black.

"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."

My buddies and I would get pulled over all the time by the local po po in the San Gabriel Valley (East of East LA) police out side of our own town. Every time, "You match the description of blah blah criminal." At least they didn't shoot first. [-x

3 bad cop experiences, and about a 9 where things went the way they should have (or was cut a break.)

With those stats in mind, I get real nervous when the disco lights spin behind me.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.

The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.

The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.

The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is

yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"
