Manhunt for Cop-killer in LA; blames LAPD violence

[Kirgiz]

As for your World War II comments, I suggest you brush up on your history books. This should help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II

As you can clearly read, Hitler was not "bred" by anyone but his own family, and did not gain power on anyone's incentives besides his own, and of those who he convinced he was worthy of such a position with.

I see you failed to see all my arguments or even try to counteract them, therefore I can conclude that you're either A) Uninterested in the discussion you have no idea of or B) Trying to ignore them for the sake of keeping discussion. On this part, you either give me standing proof, just as I did, or instead quit provoking me with your ignorance.

Again, please brush up on your history, because as I said before, making things up does not make them facts. Hitler was not bred by any "Western powers", as you say. My reply is more than enough evidence to back that up.

WW2 has no relevance to this topic.


BREAKING

Fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner has reportedly exchanged gunfire with federal authorities in California's Big Bear Lake area.

It is believed Dorner - who is suspected of three murders - may have held a couple hostage in a holiday cabin before police tracked him down.

A police officer told the Associated Press that Dorner robbed the cabin and tied up the holidaymakers, but one was able to get away and make a phone call.

The shootout began after police arrived at the remote location and chased former LAPD officer Dorner as he fled in a stolen car.

The noise of the gun battle was broadcast by KCAL-TV, whose reporter suddenly found himself near the shooting. Someone could be heard yelling at the reporter to get out of the area.

Local media in California are reporting that two officers may have been injured.

A manhunt has centred on the San Bernardino mountains since Dorner's pickup truck was found in the area last Thursday.

San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller said a stolen vehicle report from a residence was received at 12:20pm.

"The reporting party identified the suspect as looking like Christopher Dorner but that has not been confirmed," Miller said.

Here's some video regarding the statement you just brought up:

Police are surrounding a cabin, Dorner is thought to be inside.

[SugarD]

The 2 officers are confirmed injured, and the ex-cop is also confirmed to be barricaded inside.

[Kirgiz]

The cabin he was claimed to be in was a prank call, I even heard it on video stream LOL
Mixed it up a bit, the prank call was from a so-called witness who called the newsfeed to tell a fake story then shout it out.

Literally, the guy just shouted "DONT YOU KNOW DUMBASS THIS IS A PRANK CALL"

Hope it all goes well over there.

Jeezuz. I'm hearing a lot of conflicts from the news too. They are also claiming he's barricaded between 2 cabins now. They even have news teams staying way back to prevent them compromising the police operation. I hope they catch this guy alive. I'd hate to see this end in a deadly way.

Edit: They just confirmed the suspect's location. News media is being asked by police to leave the area immediately because gunfire is being exchanged.

Edit #2: SWAT and unmarked cars are rushing towards the cabin. The two injured officers have been confirmed to be airlifted to area hospitals. There is no confirmation of which Department/Agency they work for, however it is believed they were both San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputies.

How many cops does it take to kill one guy. :trust:

[Kirgiz]

How many cops does it take to kill one guy. :trust:

Considering he's a marksman with deadly accuracy, many.

[Mikal]

Considering he's a marksman with deadly accuracy, many.

Well then I assume all those cops are marksmen with deadly accuracy..

[SugarD]

How many cops does it take to kill one guy. :trust:

They are saying he has at least 34 legally-owned weapons. He also has special operations military training, as well as Law Enforcement training. They want to get him alive first, but they will kill if needed. Keep in mind that there also may be hostages involved. It's a very delicate situation because it is one better-trained guy with tons of guns and possible hostages versus a bunch of lesser trained people with the same amount of weapons as bodies, and they want to prosecute him, not kill him. They also don't want any officers or hostages hurt in the process.

Well then I assume all those cops are marksmen with deadly accuracy..

Police do get some very heavy training in shooting, but their training is generally urban for shootouts and self-defense. It's not meant to be military-style tactical training in nature, unlike the ex-cop's former training. This guy is trained to handle situations like this. Police aren't.

Edit: Area schools just went into lockdown, and a Cal-Fire armored/heavy-duty ambulance just moved up on the scene. More unmarked Law Enforcement vehicles are also showing up, and traffic is being redirected away from the area.

Edit #2: A "bunker-buster" SWAT vehicle, three SWAT trucks, and at least 50 or more police vehicles have been seen heading towards the area to assist from Highway 38.

Edit #3: All officers leaving the area are being searched and inspected to ensure the suspect does not sneak out of the area.

That is why the tactical police force is set in, those with the big guns!

That's what SWAT is. It's still a very delicate situation. If you check my second edit on the post previous to your's, they have more SWAT rushing to the area too. They are saying that over 3 dozen Law Enforcement agencies are involved now, maybe more.

Edit: A triage area has been set up in the event of massive injuries.

Edit #2: More SWAT is now on-scene and preparing to join the shootout area.

Edit #3: It appears the LAPD may be preparing to give a statement. CBS is showing preparations of it online, however other news agencies haven't commented yet.
