Dorner was engaged in a shootout with federal authorities in the Big Bear area, sources ha

[devil21]

Sheriffs shot themselves to pull off an elaborate ruse?

This would assume you believe anyone actually was shot.

At least I sleep easier knowing the police are a joke, who just rely on manpower and resources.

Don't sleep too soundly. They have virtually unlimited supplies of both.

So no $1 million reward? I AM SHOCKED.

Edit: When will they tally how much this manhunt and associated damages cost taxpayers?

The guy who got tied up and his truck stolen called in the tip, so he probably gets it. also, it was up to 1.2 million.

Makes it harder to question, doesn't it?

I hope the cabins owner SUES THE HELL out of the police department, destruction of property...when you are sworn to protect life and property is inexcusable.

I'm remembering something about how when San Francisco burnt down houses to create a firebreak during the Great Fire after the big earthquake long ago, and it went much further than was actually needed, house owners weren't able to get compensation because it was a public emergency. I doubt they'll pull that here, too bad PR, but I don't know how much suing would get them, if they are allowed to burn out humans at all.

Yahoo news isn't taking comments for the breaking stories about this. I'm just curious if this is standard for breaking stories or if they don't want Dorner's fans posting?

It is reassuring. Everything the police did this past week demonstrated weakness and incompetence.

"Hopscotch" with Walter Matthau was about a rogue CIA man and one of the things he did was "hole up" in his ex-bosses rental property and set it up so they would burn it to the ground in front of the ex-boss "owner". VERY funny scene. It would sure be something if Dorner used a property owned by some cop to hole-up in guaranteeing they would burn it down...

Many of the departments are in severe budgetary distress. The DHS likes to throw around grants though.

If memory serves, I believe the pigs cheated the DC sniper tipsters out of their reward.

Firebomb first, ask questions later.

LA mayor giving a statement, doing his best to look choked up.

Breaks into Spanish.

I know he can't see me, but I just can't help but to flip the bird to the tv every time he pops up.

You know what, plus rep. I'm willing to bet the friend who was supposedly giving him aid called and tried to get the money. They probably said FTS, we'll just light the cabin up. Why else wouldn't they have released the name of his alleged accomplice?

Someone on twitter said it was delayed by 20 minutes, but I don't know if it was a joke or not. He can start without me, he is going to, in any event.

That reward was only for the ARREST of Dorner.. he wasnt arrested, he was killed.. There will be no reward.. There never is.. And if there is the reward seeker usually dies in an accident

For capture and arrest.. Dead doesn't count.
No money for you.

Enough excitement for me for one day.
