Old Lapd News Today

Been injured before he went into the cabin. >> the story is developing. and this kind of story is such a los angeles story, as ive been saying. tell me about the mood out there in the city. your readership, and why this has been such a grabber, even as it developed in the beginning with this fellow with a grievance against the lapd. he claimed it was a racist situation. that hasnt been backed up by anyone that involved him going on this murder rampage of killing four people now allegedly. and pe...

Over the last few days to tell them that our hearts and prayers are with them. none of us can imagine what theyve had to go through, what their children have had to go through, because of the threats of christopher dorner. and i just want to thank the members of the los angeles police department who put their lives on the line every single day. thank you very much. were live. ill say now in spanish -- [ speaking spanish ] >> okay, were listening to mayor villaraigosa talking about -- he expresse...

Breadcrumbs, if you will, left by christopher dorner in all of this. no one who knows an lapd cop or someone who is in the navy reserves could think that they would leave their id card in the middle of the road or they would lose it next to an airport. it just doesnt seem plausible, if you will. >> and the way this story has developed, the san bernardino county sheriffs department never originally was mentioned in this manifesto. but the manifesto by christopher dorner said that any reinforcing ...

Up tomorrow morning and the next day and saying how sad. number one, so sad for the people that christopher dorner is believed to have killed and injured. and number two, that he wasnt able to resolve his own problems. and if there is anything to be gained from this, anything, its black, white, whatever color, whatever race, wherever we come from cultural wise, we have to work these situations out. but once you get a legal opinion that said my friend, we listen to the case, and thats the way it ...

Calls from lapd cops and from the public that say the old lapd is still alive and well. even if thats not the case, and i dont think it is, the memories and the pain and the scars from that time are still very much on the surface. >> it often goes down to personal experiences with the police that are anecdotal, but of course they drive how you think about any life experience. they dominate your thinking. and of course the past is always with. thank you, joel rubin of "the l.a. time." clint van z...

House over there in the hills the end of the life of the troubled man, christopher dorner who apparently led a spree of killings in the last week, killing two police officers, four people all together, including some clearly innocent people. in fact, all four of them are innocent. and here we go to the end of another saga in a violent country, i must say. but fortunately, as i said before, most of us arent. anyway, were going to go now to the probably biggest story of the night, which is clearly...

Whether those are for law enforcement officers there to try to continue their look at the scene, we just dont know. again, what is happening on the ground, a standoff with the man believed to be christopher dorner. this is the ex-lapd officer, the former u.s. navy reservist who wrote that manifesto waging war on the lapd. this goes back to super bowl sunday. we had vikki vargas reporting from irvine on the murder of a young couple there, and from there it escalated throughout the week. this manh...

Gives us an explanation as to what happened here. what is the story of christopher dorner? >> i think its a very sad story. i think its someone who has painted themselves as a victim all of his life, who has not necessarily taken responsibility for his challenges. hey, chris, as you said earlier, we all have problems. everybody gets screwed by their boss or have problems with their agencies or their wife or their girlfriend. those things happen. thats why we call it life. instead of a fairy tale...

And, again, i go back to the los angeles police department of dreams, los angeles, where all the movies are made we grew up with. and the strange way in which life imitates art. i talked of "high sierra" where bogart hid in the hills and was killed. james cagney going up in flames at the end yelling "top of the world, ma." t the strange connection between the mind and the love of media attention and the way this person was seeking out media attention, trying to connect in perhaps strange ways wi...
