Ok, back on topic.
I do think it would be useful for an independent 3rd party to investigate the Dorner firing, as well as the allegations wrt racism within the department. I, of course, assume they will investigate the two civilian shooting incidents that occurred during the Dorner manhunt. Regardless, even though Dorner's gone, I think an investigation would be prudent. Esp in light of another ex-LAPD officer who made this ineresting comment. (

When the Department terminated you, they intentionally tried to ruin your life, Bentley explains. Thats how they discredited you. Dorner isnt the first ex-police officer to have a manifesto or some sort of hit list.
And he should know.
[...]
He says that when he left the Department he had a manifesto of his own. Not one that involved killing anyone, but a list of people who had wronged him during his time at the Department.
I've raised this before, and I will raise it again. While most people of color face racism on a daily basis, and will have bad days, even months, sometimes, where the racism figures large in their world view, they do not go off on shooting rampages. Still, I can see how chronic racism can build up over the years.
Now, add that to what Bentley claims "
they intentionally tried to ruin your life"? If true, it certainly makes Dorner's world view less narcissistic and more worthy of considering. Not to excuse his behavior, of course. Bc there is no excuse for murder.
Rather to better understand the progression, identify warning signs, consider potential triggers, find a means for "
draining off" the toxicity for victims of chronic racism (
think of it as the boil on the butt of mankind), and, address offending behavior where ever possible.
To do this however would require a "
real dialogue" between caucasians and people of color.
