  Maybe my head's foggy today. What does the manifesto and the bullet-ridden truck have in common. Where is the cop killing in this?

  n the manifesto posted online, 33-year-old Dorner promised to bring "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" to officers and their families, calling it the "last resort" to clear his name and strike back at a department he says mistreated him. According to authorities, Dorner began making good on his threats a week ago when he allegedly killed Monica Quan and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, in a parking lot in Irvine, south of Los Angeles.
  Quan was the daughter of a now-retired Los Angeles police officer who represented Dorner in a disciplinary hearing that led resulted in his termination.

  Roughly 20 minutes later, Dorner allegedly fired on two police officers, killing one and wounding another, in the nearby city of Riverside.

  ^Just related to the case. Pretty sure the LAPD is getting into some deep shit for shooting up what they THOUGHT was the suspects truck (which is gray).
  
  Here is a link that has a nice timeline; http://www.cbs8.com/story/21078310/key-events-in-hunt-for-ex-la-cop-suspected-killer
  
  — Sunday, Feb. 3: Monica Quan, 28, and Keith Lawrence, 27, are found shot to death in their car at an Irvine, Calif., parking structure. Quan, an assistant women's basketball coach at California State University, Fullerton, was the daughter of a former Los Angeles police captain who represented Dorner in disciplinary hearings that resulted in his dismissal.
  
  — Monday, Feb. 4, about 9:30 a.m. PST: Some of Dorner's belongings, including police equipment, are found in a trash bin in the San Diego-area community of National City.
  
  — Monday, Feb. 4 through Wednesday, Feb. 6: Police find a scrap of paper that mentions names associated with the LAPD. LAPD is contacted, and when they see a connection to Randal Quan, who lost his daughter the day prior, Irvine Police Department is called. Authorities find Dorner's manifesto online.
  
  — Wednesday, Feb. 6: Irvine police say they are looking for Dorner as a suspect in the killings of Quan and Lawrence, and that he implicated himself in the killings in the manifesto posted on Facebook. U.S. marshals and other law enforcement officials, acting on a credible lead, search Wednesday night for Dorner in San Diego's Point Loma area.
  
  
  — Wednesday, Feb. 6, 10:30 p.m.: A man matching Dorner's description tries to steal a 47-foot boat from a San Diego marina, but the engine won't start. An 81-year-old man on the boat is tied up but unhurt.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 1:30 a.m.: In the Riverside County community of Corona, Calif., two LAPD officers assigned to protect a person named in the manifesto chase a vehicle they believe is Dorner's. One officer is grazed in the forehead during a shootout, and the gunman flees. A short time later, a gunman believed to be Dorner ambushes two Riverside police officers who had stopped at a red light during a routine patrol. One officer is killed, and the other critically injured.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 2:18 a.m.: A shuttle bus driver turns in a wallet with an LAPD badge and a picture ID of Dorner to San Diego police. The wallet is found less than five miles from the boat, near San Diego International Airport.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 5:15 a.m.: LAPD officers guarding a manifesto target in the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance open fire on a truck they mistakenly believe to be Dorner's. Two women are wounded. A short time later, Torrance police are involved in a second shooting involving a different truck they also mistake for Dorner's. Nobody is hurt.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 8:30 a.m.: Reports surface that authorities are investigating a burned pickup truck near the Big Bear ski area in the San Bernardino Mountains. A San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy says there have been no sightings of Dorner, but local school officials decide to put campuses in lockdown.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 9:30 a.m.: Authorities in central and northern Arizona are alerted about the manhunt for Dorner along with a description of a vehicle he may be driving.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 9:40 a.m.: Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego is locked down after a Navy worker reports seeing someone who resembles Dorner. Two hours later, Navy officials say they don't believe Dorner was on base.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 2:30 p.m.: Authorities confirm the pickup truck found near Bear Mountain ski area at Big Bear Lake belongs to Dorner.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 3:30 p.m.: San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon announces a door-to-door search for Dorner is under way.
  
  — Thursday, Feb. 7, 4 p.m.: FBI SWAT teams and local police serve a search warrant at a Las Vegas-area home belonging to Dorner. Authorities leave with boxes of items from the two-story house. They say no weapons were found but decline to disclose what was discovered.
  
  — Friday, Feb. 8: Dozens of searchers hunt for Dorner in the freezing, snowy San Bernardino Mountains after losing his footprints near the site where the truck was found. Sheriff McMahon says abandoned cabins above the Big Bear resort town must be checked.

  Yeah they shot some 71 yr old women in the back. She has lawyered up. The police chief has personally apologized and made arrangements to have a new truck donated to her.
  
  The also shot up another truck without warning. The driver was not hit.

  Pretty much.
  
  Also, there is supposedly* an unarmed drone hovering above LA looking for this guy.

  Apparently if you own a truck, don't drive it.

  Too bad they don't put that much effort into catching other bad guys.

  Looks like it. Looks like this Dorner guy's won, no matter what happens. At the least, their reactions to his actions have pretty much shown the world that the LAPD is apparently loaded with incompetent trigger-happy psychos.

  Yep

  Other than the high likelihood that he's dead.
• sportchampps

  What makes you think he is dead or do you just think he will end up dead.
• O-Trap

  

  Yeah, there were two instances in which officers made horrible decisions with their weapons and have cost individuals and families a lot.
  
  Problem is, this guy is now treating all LAPD officers equally.
  
  I have an uncle who is an officer for the LAPD, and while he's not a beat cop, his family (immediate and otherwise) is still at least a little bit worried.

  Just a logical alternative for his not being seen for a number of days.

  Yep. I'm not sure LAPD could've handled this any worse.
