They were talking about this guy, jamison reeves, who seems to be in every commercial because he says he is an acceptable black friend and he doesnt make white people uncomfortable. Thats what he says. Were going to talk to him about why. Why does hollywood keep hiring the same black actor over and over and over again. And is he right . Is it because he doesnt make white people uncomfortable . Well ask him. Well see you. An ac 360 special inside the hunt for Christopher Dorner begins right now. This is the story of a man who swore to uphold the law. It ended in a fiery shootout after a deadly manhunt capping a reign of terror. His promise to protect had become a vow of vengeance. In the hour ahead, everything that mattered from the terror he inflicted to the inferno that consumed him. This is an ac 360 special killer cop, Christopher Dorner. Heres randi kaye. Reporter its been a terrifying two weeks for Law Enforcement in Southern California as a lone gunman and excop fuelled by anger set out on a killing rampage. Tonight from los angeles, we bring you the story of one man who waged a deadly war of retribution and take you inside one of the largest manhunts in Los Angeles Police history. For almost a decade, irvine, california, has been known as the safest city in america. But in early february, this l. A. Suburb was the scene of after terrible double murder. A crime at the time that offered no hint of the terror to come. Call came out at 9 10 this evening at 2100 scholarship at a parking structure. February 3rd, 9 10 p. M. When Irvine Police responded to a tip and found Keith Lawrence and his fiancee monica kwan. Both had been shot dead in lawrences parked car. Each had been shot multiple times. We are trying to figure out what happened. Initially police had no motive and no leads. They get it in to lawrence. Lawrence was a well liked former College Basketball player who had just begun a Law Enforcement career as a university of Southern California safety officer. And kwan, the daughter of a former Los Angeles Police captain was a beloved assistant basketball coach at cal state fullerton. A really bright light was put out way too soon. The pairs senseless killing left a community in shock, and Police Searching for answers. Three days later, a break in the case. Today we have identified Christopher Dorner as a suspect in this double homicide. Dorner was an lapd officer through 2009 and a reservist for the United States navy. A particular interest at this point in the organization is a multipage manifesto, in which the suspect has implicated himself in the slayings. Dorners angry manifesto was much more than a clue. Posted on facebook, it was a clear and direct threat aimed at members of the lapd who dorner claimed ended his Law Enforcement career. In his manifesto, dorner warned that his targets would include not only police but their family members as well. Writing, quote, i never had the opportunity to have a family of my own. Im terminating yours. Dorners chilling manifesto made clear monica kwans murder was far from random. It was kwans father who had unsuccessfully represented dorner in a disciplinary hearing that resulted in his dismissal from the lapd four years earlier. Him basically stalking miss kwan and her fiance, this was a man on a mission for revenge. Targeted by one of their own, the Los Angeles Police department ordered special units to provide 24hour protection to the dozens of people named in dorners manifesto. We have strong cause to believe dorner is armed and dangerous. This video obtained exclusively by cnn shows dorner just 12 hours after the irvine killings, apparently placing a military belt, a helmet and ammunition behind an Auto Parts Store in san diego. Of course he knows what hes doing, we trained him. He was also a member of the armed forces. It is extremely worrisome and scary, especially to the Police Officers involved. Hours after that press conference with Southern California police on high alert, at 10 30 p. M. , dorner slipped into this san diego marina, boarded a boat and surprised its owner. He pointed a handgun at the victim who was an 81yearold male and demanded the boat. Dorner told the man he wanted to flee to mexico. The suspect then attempted to start the boat. But a rope became caught in the boats propeller, delaying dorners escape. At that point the suspect became frustrated, took a few small items, including cell phone and some other Miscellaneous Items from inside the boat, tied the victim up and left in an unknown direction. He didnt harm the 81yearold man, why . I think because he wasnt a cop. Days before the killings in irvine, surveillance cameras captured images of dorner purchasing scuba gear. You can use that against officers coming in with tear gas, was he trying to attack someone by coming up behind them, under them, on a boat . We dont know. Just as the police had begun zeroing their attention on the scene of the failed boat theft in san diego, dorner was spotted again. This time 90 miles north. At approximately 1 24 a. M. , two Los Angeles Police officers on protective duty in corona, were flagged down by a man who had spotted dorners truck at a nearby gas station. The police followed the truck. Exiting the freeway, the officers made that turn to eastbound where the suspect exited the vehicle was out of the vehicle immediately with a shoulder weapon and started to shoot at the officers. The officers took cover, returned fire. In the resulting exchange of gunfire, one bullet grazed a responding officers head. And their patrol car was so damaged, they couldnt chase dorner as he drove away. The suspect Christopher Dorner, is driving a 2005 charcoal gray nissan type pickup truck. The last license plate known although he was being hunted, dorner was not finished doing the hunting. 20 minutes after his shootout in corona, in nearby riverside, as an 11year Police Officer and his trainee were stopped at a red light, dorner pulled up beside them and opened fire. Veteran officer michael crane, a father of two was killed. His 27yearold trainee was critically wounded. The riverside officers were cowardly ambushed. They had no opportunity to fight back, no prewarning. You know, i first think about dorner, words come to mind coward. Vindictive. Cold blooded. Deadly. In less than a week, Christopher Dorner had killed three people, wounded two, left an entire region on edge and sparked the largest manhunt in Los Angeles Police history. There was a murder and attempted murder of three Law Enforcement officers today. The person responsible for that is still on the street. We dont know what hes going to do. The race to track down the highly trained former cop had begun. And the clock was ticking. [ anouncer ] ihop is in time square to compare new griddlemelts to your usual breakfast sandwich.

[ charlie ] try zinc free super poligrip. The former lapd officer now had thousands of his former brothers in blue chasing him. But just who was Christopher Dorner . What lit the fuse to cause this explosive rampage. Reporter Christopher Dorner, target of the largest manhunt in lapd history. A vengeful excop, highly trained marksman, armed and dangerous. Turning against the very agency that defined him. He loved being a cop. He wanted to be a cop all his life. The chris dorner that was terrorizing california is far from the sunny upbringing of his Southern California childhood. He grew up in los angeless sprawling suburbs with his mother and sister and attending norwalk elementary school. Its here where we get dorners first sense of being wronged. A fellow student calls him the n word on the schools playgrounded. He fights the student. Then he writes, hes appalled when the principal encourages him to turn the other cheek. In high school he writes of another incident. An assistant principal lied to his mother about the theft of a watch, something dorner writes i never forgot. He just told me when he was in grade school, he would get picked on. James was dorners college friend. Dorner shared stories of his childhood bullying when they were teammates on Southern Utah Universitys football team. The one thing i remember about chris was that he was sensitive to racial issues, Race Relations in general. It made an impression on him . Im sure it did. I think it would make an impression on anybody. Aaron alfred coached dorner. A scholarship running back in southern utah. He was good in class. Fit in with the team. But alfred said he stuck out in the same way alfred did. Obviously, as a Young African male coming to Southern Utah University there were Culture Shock moments. He as far as race and racism, that was something he was sensitive to. He was one to call them out on it, he wasnt going to sit back and brush it under the rug like its okay. Reporter he describes dorner as a man who saw the world as black and white, right and wrong. One of the things i always respected about chris was the fact that he was a person of very strong convictions and a person with a lot of integrity and honesty. What are the code of ethics that he lived by . Chris as much as anybody believes in right and wrong. If you do wrong you should be punished, you do right, you should live your life that way. One of the last times he saw dorner was on campus, signing up for the navy as he graduated in 2001. If you look at his record, theres nothing really outstanding in there. He was, it sounded like a competent navy officer. Didnt rise up that far. The Navy Reserve Lieutenant was good at one thing, shooting. Rated a rifle marksman and a pistol expert. A skill apparent when he joined the lapd on february 7, 2005 the man who gave cnn this video did not want to be identified but talked so you could see what the lapd was up against. You look at chris, you could see hes a little bit of an expert. The way he disarms and shoots. Almost no movement when he shoots the gun and then pump like nothing. He stood out . Yeah, he stood out. He knew what he was doing. Being a cop, could you tell that it was important to him . Yeah, i think it was very important to him. You could see it . Yeah. Even during the training . Yeah. I think its a 300pound dum dummy, and he does that easily. So this is a very strong man . Right. Not everything was easy for the aspiring Police Officer. Drill instructors picked on him for his weight and slow running. He was always struggling, but i thought, maybe because hes a big guy theyre picking on him. A couple times he would respond sort of aggressively. You know, he would yell back a little louder than anybody else would. He would be like yes, drill instructor. Or like okay dorner did not complete the Police Academy until the next class, because of an accidental discharge of his gun wounding his hand. The police suspended him for two days. The rookie cop eventually started working at the lapd harbor unit. He was working there in 2006 when Ariana Williams met him. We only dated for probably three months at the most. It was a very quick, intense romance. One that ended badly. Williams feeling scorned, posted dorners name and badge number on dont date him girl. Com. A social networking site. Williams describes verbal abuse. That dorner was super paranoid. He had a color problem, writing this man really hated himself because hes black. It was obviously some sort of issue for him. The racial thing. You did state in the post that you felt like he was almost a selfhating black man . Well, i did as far as him identifying with himself as a black man in america. I just noticed that there were some discrepancies there, for me from the outside looking in. Like dorner telling williams she was the first black girl he ever dated. Williams said dorner had severe mood swings calling it good chris bad chris. Dorner filed a temporary restraining order against williams after he saw her posting. So this was the bad chris . This was the bad chris. The court case was eventually dismissed, soon after the military called him up for a yearlong deployment. He never saw active duty. But when he came back, according to police records, he struggled to fit in once again. In 2007, dorners Training Officer reports while on duty, he was crying and demanded to be taken back to the station to talk to the training unit. The next week dorner reported Training Officer Theresa Evans to the lapd for kicking a disabled man in an incident outside of a doubletree hotel. A report that would ultimately lead to his dismissal. Dorner told usara about his problems with the lapd. Last time the two men spoke. Can you see how a man like that, if he believes hes telling the truth, that could drive him to Something Like this. Theres no excuse or justification that would make whats going on now okay. But the truth is the truth. And again, i mean, i believe Chris Dorners a truth teller. Given his personality and his strong belief to tell the truth, can you see how it might cause him to have a psychotic break of some sort . Thats got to be pretty devastating for a guy who, again, lived his life by a certain code of ethics and believed himself to be an honest man. The man who friends say saw the world in black and white was fired from the lapd for making false statements against his Training Officer. He lost every appeal to get his job back. Dorner writes in his manifesto, his firing triggered severe depression. On february 7th of this year, exactly eight years from the very day he stepped into the academy as a new recruit, Christopher Dorner began to kill Police Officers. The lapd now had to hunt down a man who was one of their own before he killed again. And were showcasing the work our employees do. Like karen.
