No kidding. I’m on the other side of the country and this story continues to piss me off. If I recall, the officer(s) who shot at the surfer in his pickup truck (who they mistook for Dorner) also got out of any charges because, and I’m paraphrasing, “the fear caused by the Dorner situation justified the officer’s response”. Well shit. I’m sure I’ll be exonerated if I shoot at the cops. There’s real fear because they’re out of control and face little to no accountability for their actions.
I really wish the feds would step in and start slapping some of these police departments around (even as big as the LAPD). What they really need is a mayor who will simply fire brass whenever others skate like this.
