Oversight board faults LAPD's Dorner deployment

Perhaps you are unaware that people switch license plates.
If there's a BOLO for a red truck, lic plate ABC-123 and i see a blue truck with partial plate legible ABC, i'd like to know who the occupants are. Would i open fire on unidentified occupants, no.

Please take this with a grain of salt.....


But if having the same KINDA vehicle ( i.e. pick up , SUV, sports car) and 2 matching digits on a plate ( even tho NOTHING ELSE is the same) is enough for you to pull me over to find out "Who I am" then I need to sell my Jeep ....

Cuz CO has a ton of SUV's and I'm sure quite a few have SW in the first two digits.

tho on the other hand too bad I'm not black .. I'd make a ton suing the department cuz no jury would believe that was the reason you pulled me over.

The report from the Board of Police Commissioners was an interesting read. It's amazing how the imagination of Officer A could have escalated in such a fashion.

Officer G firing 11 shots with his Beretta from 270 feet away? He must be like Riggs in Lethal Weapon.

so - slaps on the wrist and raises and promotions all around?

Probably being scouted by the NYPD with skills like that.

Poor guys. Just another example of libtards taking away another feather in the cap from people who protect you while you sleep.

Prayers for a good raise so their families don't suffer needlessly.

^^Wow! 25 posts until your fucking anti-cop sarcasm shows up. Pretty amazing.

I'm not defending this goat fuck of a shooting at all. But your incessant, sarcastic bitching and whining is really irritating.

Maybe, at some point, you or someone you care about will really need police help and they won't show up. Would that make you happy?

Some here would probably hold their own mothers arms back so she could be beaten without being able to block the blows LOL. Some are haters....the rest of use fall somewhere in the middle.

LAPD puts most of their shooting reviews online at the BOPC web site.

Interesting reading, but I'd hate to work with Officer A. That guy is a shit magnet.

Additionally, the investigation revealed that none of the officers assigned to the detail were equipped with police rifles at a location that was deemed a high priority. The officers were aware that the suspect had extensive military training and already attacked and killed officers with an assault rifle earlier that morning. As a result, the officers were equipped with inferior firepower and were at a significant tactical disadvantage. The presence of officers equipped with police rifles was warranted.

This is my favorite part of the report. If you're a perp, your rifle is an evil "assault rifle." If you are a cop, your rifle is a totally justified "police rifle." I admittedly don't know the facts, but I would bet they're talking about the same exact model of firearm.

Teuf, I'd be sure of itl. Tis even possible that those "police rifles" are select fire while the "assault rifle" was not. Don't care enough to find out for sure as it is propaganda either way.
