Dorner morphing into an anti-hero?
posted at 2:01 pm on February 10, 2013 by Jazz Shaw
I have, at times, been accused of being somewhat naive when it comes to modern culture, both by family members and readers alike. Perhaps you’re all on to something there, because I certainly never saw this coming. As the search continues for alleged cop killer Christopher Dorner, there is an emerging theme – at least on the West Coast – that perhaps Dorner is some sort of Robin Hood, standing up for the little guy and taking it to the corrupt LA police force.
Support Growing For Former L.A. Officer Accused Of Killing Spree
Dorner lost his job with the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008. His manifesto vows revenge for that; and, surprisingly, thousands of people actually support him.
It’s hard to believe but there are those out there who sympathize with the man targeting police officers.
One Facebook page is proclaiming Dorner for president. “We propose electing a man who could no longer sit idly by and watch as malicious tyrants abuse the innocent.”
The description on “We Are All Chris Dorner” chillingly says, “Yes, this is war.”
I can’t even conceive of this, but apparently these cheerleaders of mayhem have their reasons. When the local news station put out the question as to why anyone would support this crime spree, one respondent answered, “Because something needs to be done about the long known corruption of not only the LAPD, but several agencies.”
To add insult to injury, even as thousands of law enforcement officers are searching for him, the police department is reopening an investigation into the circumstances of his firing. If this is being done as some sort of tactical ploy to draw him out of hiding and into “negotiations” so he can be taken into custody, then I suppose that’s fine. But if the administration at the police department is seriously responding to the murder and attempted murder of several of their officers by saying, “oh, wait… let’s see if maybe he’s got a point” … then the world has truly turned on its ear. Even if that were the case, the time to examine the question is not while Dorner is actively hunting cops and it only adds to this Robin Hood persona building around him.
I understand that there are people out there with grievances against the LAPD, both in the community and among their own ranks. How much of the public perception – frequently fostered by the media, as in the Rodney King case – is real and how much of it is misdirected, manufactured outrage is up for debate. And perhaps Dorner had some sort of legitimate complaint about the circumstances surrounding his termination from work. But for anyone to lionize this maniac’s actions as some form of perverted justice speaks volumes about our society, and it’s not a pretty picture being painted.

Where liberals are concerned, notice how it’s never the fault of the individual? Personal responsibility and self-control are never considered.
If a right-wing nut shoots somebody, it’s Rush Limbaugh’s fault.
If a left-wing nut shoots somebody, it’s society’s fault.

I am not legislating Mumias guilt or innocence here, but yes the support for him is built on similar lines. But a better example to understand this phenomenon is Fred Hampton, who the Chicago PD murdered in his sleep. Or Jon Burge who tortured suspects into false confessions for years in Chicago, long supported by conservatives.
libfreeordie on February 10, 2013 at 3:39 PM
There was just a massive shoot out in Cleveland where the police fired off 137 rounds during a high speed chase. They were actually firing on each other. Some officers were shooting at the suspects going over 100 MPH through their own windshield! One guy actually climbed on the suspects’ car after the chase ended and fired off over 40 rounds into the car.
I respect the police and it has to be one of the toughest jobs in America but actions like this only make homicidal freaks heroes in the eyes of certain segments of America.
OliverB on February 10, 2013 at 3:39 PM
The first passage of yours that I bolded claims police violence only takes place against “American citizens of color.” The second passage of your that I bolded, however, claims that the LAPD has a “legacy of unchecked violence against citizens.” Which is it?
Is it just barely possible that the incidence of police violence and abuses against certain groups is because those groups perpetrate much higher percentages of crimes than are committed by other certain groups? If they commit many more crimes than other groups, they are many more times likely to have police contact than those other groups.
And as for LA and the LAPD specifically, what more would you have them do? After all, they instituted major reforms after the Rodney King episode, and as I recall they even installed an Inspector General, as well as layers of other folks like civilian review boards.
One final (trick) question: how many of the cities where these police abuses are happening are run by Republican Mayors and have Republican Police Commissioners?

He was dishonorably discharged from the Navy. And the LA police union didn’t keep him employed. There’s been something wrong with the guy for a long time. I’m not going to defend the LAPD as not being corrupt but the guy has been mentally ill for a long time.
rbj on February 10, 2013 at 3:41 PM
The police in this nation operate with such loose rules of engagement that they would be in Leavenworth if in the military.
Dorner is taking advantage of this habit on their part.
harlekwin15 on February 10, 2013 at 3:42 PM
He was honorably discharged form the navy…
probably for height/weight standards keeping him from getting his LCDR rank I’d wager.
harlekwin15 on February 10, 2013 at 3:43 PM
Murdering the daughter of a retired police officer because you have a grudge against him isn’t taking a stand against corruption.
The LAPD’s reaction, including firing at vehicles of citizens going about their business doesn’t justify Dorner’s actions, it merely highlights the dire need of outside oversight of the LAPD.

Sure, its not like your failed philosophical value system has anything at all to do with the generations of lost black youth in this country.

Shame on you for what you and yours have done to all of them and theirs. But its the cops fault right? The dreck that is inner city filth is all the cops fault. Get your sorry ass down here to Morehouse and straighten those fine folks out! Or are you to busy at a NAMBLA meeting this fine Sunday?
Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 3:47 PM
Let’s see, In response to Dorner’s threats, the LAPD opened fire on a pickup truck because it was blue like the one Dorner was driving. Not only did 2 cops unload their weapons into the wrong car, at least 30 shots, only one woman was struck by a bullet and the other cut by flying glass. So they can’t judge who to shoot, and they can’t hit what they are aiming at. On top of that, another knucklehead cop hears the shots fired call and proceeds to ram his cruiser into the nearest pickup truck he sees, then opens fire on the driver, who miraculously escaped with 0 bullet wounds.
Maybe Dorner has a point.
On another note, The safest place to be when shots are fired is in front of an LAPD officer.

You think it’s corruption he’s fighting, just because the LAPD was corrupt at one time? Who’s to say Dorner was a victim of corruption? Dorner? You believe him, why? Because you followed the case from the beginning and have read all the transcipts or because you read his manifestos and the reports in the news?
Dorner lost his job. Happens. All. The. Time. Three people are dead at Dorner’s hand because Dorner didn’t like losing his job.

Midas on February 10, 2013 at 3:51 PM
Yes, because police officers join the force and risk their lives, just so they can shoot people of color. Makes perfect sense.
So, since we’re talking about joining a group to go after people of color, why don’t we take a long look at the DEMOCRATIC PARTY:
Abraham Lincoln was NOT a democrat.
Jim Crow Laws enacted by Democrats, using intimidation against people of color to rise back to power.
Democrat southern governors who encouraged continued segregation.
Republican, and Martin Luther King Jr. was a republican, legislators pushed the civil rights act of 1964, and earlier civil rights legislation, and forced Johnson to sign it into law, despite squealing from southern democrats.
Robert Byrd WAS a democrat and a high ranking member of the KKK. At his funeral, Bill Clinton excused his affiliation with the group.
Same Bill Clinton, in 2008, made a racial remark that Obama would be serving them.
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, democrats, have flung racist epithets at their own race and other races.
So, I would say…if you are a DEMOCRAT…you have a bad history with people of color and you are a racist that has no problem hanging, cutting off balls, and murdering people of color.
RovesChins on February 10, 2013 at 3:52 PM
These shooters carry around a tally sheet of “wrongs I have suffered.” They also tend to be victims of ‘reality TV nation&the cult of self-esteem’ coupled with eroded common moral constructs.
This is a side-effect of Balkanization of the population as goal of “civil rights” versus the notion of “we’re all Americans.”
If only there were some system of wthical code geared to reducing the vendetta culture from a common man which preached ‘turn the other cheek” and “vengeance is mine so sayeth all creation’s daddy!”???

Fred Hampton was quickly moving up the ranks in the Black Panther Party, and his talent as a political organizer was remarkable.
In 1968 he was on the verge of creating a merger between the BPP and a southside street gang with thousands of members, which would have doubled the size of the national BPP
- Ward Churchill (American terrorist).
Cheer up libtard, Hampton’s followers helped intimidate Republican voters from voting in the 2008 and 2012 elections.
His legacy lives on.
sentinelrules on February 10, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Was it the Chicago PD who slipped Fred Hampton a mickey to put him to sleep before that raid? And how come this “assassination” resulted in no members of those involved being formally charged by the Grand Jury that investigated?
As for Burge, can you give us some credible examples of his “support by conservatives”? And how come the Democrat (later Chicago Mayor Daley), who was the Cook County State’s Attorney at the time, did absolutely nothing to stop the torture at the time?
Del Dolemonte on February 10, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Great. Please point me towards one sustained critique of police violence against people from a conservative. I won’t hold my breath.
As for Obama and drones, I’ve been loud and consistent in my critique of drone strikes. It should be noted that Donner is the first citizen to be targeted by a drone. This surprises no one who is aware of the way anti black racks is at the core of the state.

Doesn’t surprise me. Obama got reelected.

RovesChins on February 10, 2013 at 3:56 PM
Dorner has murdered an assistant basketball coach, a security guard, and a Riverside police officer. NONE of them were part of the LAPD.
I find it a sign of depravity. Further, it is ironic and indicative of the complete disconnectiveness of the Left, which favours Big Government. The police ARE part of the government.
Big government = small citizen.
Why do any of you believe that a government, who is in charge of your healthcare, your education, your housing, your finances, your career and everything else, would be any less corrupt than those in charge of enforcement?
Resist We Much on February 10, 2013 at 3:56 PM
Djorner would be doing the same murderous stuff if he was still LAPD – only the victims would be different. A punk is a punk. Lets face it, he attacks only from ambush, shooting down unsuspecting victims. He’s too cowardly to fight a stand up fight cuz he knows his blubbery butt would get waxed in a second if he actually went mano-a-mano. Put him down like the mad dog he is. If this guy is some kind of hero then so is the Unibomber and the dude who shot Gabby Giffords.

Well now. How many non-black people did black people kill?
Limerick on February 10, 2013 at 3:59 PM
i’m not surprised. the guy who killed a bunch of people in that colorado movie theater has fans. the newtown shooter has so many people who feel sorry for him because they think he was mistreated by his mother and bullied at school all his life, or something. some people think serial killers are heroes, somehow! it’s disgusting!
this is a core principle of liberalism. a lot of liberal beliefs basically boil down to this. liberals don’t have a concept of “take responsibility for your own actions.” it annoys me so much. i can’t stand it! here are some core liberal beliefs:
-if something bad happens in your life, it’s always someone else’s fault. it’s never because you made an unwise decision. you’re always the victim of someone else or some group of people. you are not to blame.
-if you do something that has undesired consequences, the solution is to get rid of the consequences. the solution is never to not choose to do that thing in the first place. (liberals want a fantasy world where there are never any negative consequences for anything ever)
-”self-control,” “personal responsibility,” “morality,” and “self-discipline” are imaginary concepts. they just do not exist, so there is no point in talking about them.
one example of all this is when a person from a low-income background commits a crime. liberals blame the person’s economic status instead of actually blaming the person who made a choice to do something wrong. another example is abortion. self-control does not exist. people just have to have sex because apparently, people are unable to control themselves and their bodies move on their own and have sex with other bodies. abstinence is an imaginary concept that simply does not exist at all, so never, ever talk about it.
this really gets on my nerves… /rant
Sachiko on February 10, 2013 at 3:59 PM
Dorner alleged his training officer abused a suspect, but he kept silent about it–at first. Then he had a crisis of conscience. Which, just by coincidence, happened the day after his TO turned in an unfavorable performance report. Also, he filed a false report of the incident because he left out the details of the alleged assault.
Two witnesses–not police–confirmed no abuse had occurred. The investigation was thorough, and Dorner is solidly believed by the investigators to have lied repeatedly. That is why he was fired.
The current troll said the other day that Dorner was acting out of revenge, not liberalism. Now, he’s ‘trying to expose LAPD corruption’. Expect the reasons (read: excuses) for Dorner’s murders to change as new evidence comes to light or to fit the moment.
Also, police searched his mother’s home for four hours, leaving with boxes of evidence according to the news report I read. I’m wondering how much more will come out, over and above his manifesto.

Bmore on February 10, 2013 at 4:00 PM
BS. You have been largely absent from those threads.
According to this “logic,” since Obama is in charge of the drone policy, Obama must be very anti-black.
However, since drones have been used on the US/Mexico border for years now, Donner has not been the first US citizen to be targted.
Can you please spare us “Whitey is to Blame for Everything” rhetoric for a little while?
sentinelrules on February 10, 2013 at 4:00 PM
Basically here is the situation from my perspective. Dorner is a psycho leftist nut job, although not totally stupid, who is getting love from other psycho leftist nut jobs. With that said a lot of the police departments, including the LAPD, have been involved in pushing for gun confiscation over the last two months.
Remember this story: LAPD gun buyback turns up two Rocket launchers
So my feeling is the LAPD is no friend of liberty and the California police are now going nuts attacking anyone in a pick up truck, any pick up truck! This is one of those what the hell is wrong California stories.
Also progressives make no sense to me. Here they have been pushing for more gun control over the last two months because they say we have the police to protect us, yet now they are saying the police is corrupt and racist. Seriously….what do idiots want from us?

Like many anti-black people Obama isn’t necessarily aware of it. This is more than a question of “racism”. Anti-blackness is part of the founding of American capital and political power, to be President you are automatically signing onto histories of violence and displacement, even if you enter it believing yourself a liberal. Hence Obamas quick transition from anti war to drone striker and rendition. There is no such thing as a non-violent or non-anti black president of the United States, regardless of political ideology.
libfreeordie on February 10, 2013 at 4:06 PM

And what exactly were those 200 black people doing when the police killed them? Sleeping like Fred Hampton, who had in fact been drugged by an FBI informant?

This reminds me of the Occupy comic book post.

Why are you surprised he’s an anti-hero?
PattyJ on February 10, 2013 at 4:11 PM
Yes the state categorized the BPP as a threat to national security, good thing the state is always right for conservatives right? Fed Hampton was a citizen. If the police had charges to bring against him for something they had every ability to do so. Instead they killed him in his sleep. The fact that you find something defensible in that says everything we need to know about conservative thought on black people’s right to citizenship in this country.
As for your other questions. I’ve already exposed your lack of knowledge on urban history. Please stop borrowing lies from that blog stuff black people don’t like. That guys history of Detroit is a laughing stock.

LOL, man, I just don’t know what to say in the face of such abject paranoia and unmitigated, rambling lunacy. Get thee to a mental healthcare professional soon, please.
Obama’s “quick transition” – along with all of the other leftists who were against such-and-such when Bush did it, but quite OK with it for Obama (none of *them* being elected President and suddenly having to ‘sign on to histories’ of anything, by the way, so what’s your theory on *them*?) – had nothing to do with his sudden change of address, but rather was – for all of them/you – purely political.

US Americans are US Americans, not any sort of hyphenated garbage, no matter where they are from. It’s a major peeve with me.

Because he’s a liberal, and they are inherently racist.

Dorner killed another woman of color. An innocent woman of color. For revenge.
You are no better than the rest of the trash cheering this guy.
But, you’re ignorant, always on the wrong side of history, so why should we be surprised, libtard.

I see LFOD, the racist & homophobe, is here for a while.

The cops had started a file on Hampton 2 years before he died. And you still haven’t proved they “murdered him.” And fyi, nowhere in any of my posts on this thread do I “defend” what the cops did to Hampton. All I do is call in question your quaint claims that Hampton was “harmless” and “no threat” to the community.
As for what I have bolded, thanks again for admitting you’re afraid to answer my questions.
And your Alinsky 101 insult is especially weak, given that I grew up in Manhattan in the 1960s in the NYC public school system, along with spending time in the public school system in (segregated) Boston earlier in that decade, followed by several years in the (integrated) public school system in Honolulu.
And I can tell you I saw just as many racists in the 1960s Honolulu public schools as I did anywhere else.

Well then it is a good thing Jesse Jackson never won. He would have been shocked to find out he is a violent racist.

As has been proved out on many, many threads here at HA. It is a race bating leftist.

Uhhhhhh….THAT’s what a Ron Paul Supporter IS - “Pure and Simple”
When Chris Kyle – the Navy Seal who was the best sniper in Iraq and Afghanistan was Murdered recently by a traumatized Iraq veteran that he was trying to help – to the GLEE and CHEERING of The Mainstream Media.
Ron Paul’s response to Kyle’s death was Tweeted: “Yeah, well – those who live by the sword, die by the sword.”
In other words – Ron Paul was High-Fiving, giggling and joining IN the Media Celebration of Kyle’s MURDER.
GUESS who Never called him out on this behavior – and WHO BURIED the Story of Ron Paul”s Tweet so that it was nearly impossible to find?
Yep – you guessed it: The Mainstream Media that he LOVES!
Sure – Paul made a non-apology “apology” later – that was worth the paper it wasn’t written on.
Ron Paul HATES America!!

Still waiting on those circumstances on those deaths.
And, the liberal media doesn’t care unless it’s a white Hispanic or a plain white doing the killing, dummy.

She is a Leftist. While she may agree with Ron Paul on many subjects, I doubt very seriously that she voted for him. Thus, if she did not vote for him, she is NOT a Ron Paul supporter.
I’m not defending Ron Paul so please stop screaming about him to me.

Without details of every case this doesn’t say more than “there are lies, damned lies and statistics”. The latter can be made into anything. Just see the great stats in any USA Today issue. Most of those stats look “wow” and are big fat lies.

So Professor, when are you relocating to Chicago/Los Angeles/Detroit/Atlanta/you name the liberal hellhole to educate the oppressed? I mean how can any self-serving liberal such as you live with themselves while the underserved communities suffer from their oppression? So what’s it going to be, LA or Chi-town? Hotlanta or Motor-city? Come on tell us so that we can learn how it’s done from a Professor?
I’m going to guess LA, you feel the importance of reaching out to the killer-at-large, am I right?

Thanks for that.
ON that first part, I’m not sure who the asst basketball coach was the woman or man, but I read the woman was the daughter of the Police Caption who defended Dorner. WTF! The guy wasn’t involved at all in Dorner’s problem. Double WTF!
Really courageous guy that Dorner, fighting corruption and all in the LAPD.
