[winstars]

2. Just saw their attorney on the local news here in LA... Hope they get millions...

BTW, some other cops shot up ANOTHER pickup truck about 10 minutes later a couple of blocks away from incident noted above... Both are like 5 minutes from my house...

8. What is the one officer doing?

Skeet shooting?

9. the

The photo is altered and not part of the linked article.

Kind of deceptive

12. That is a photoshop of Obama in the pic-- not cool... nt

[Politicalboi]

15. That officer is the

President.

[exboyfil]

20. Sorry

I didn't notice. I guess it was an officer (Commander in Chief) really skeet shooting.

[uncle ray]

10. is that picture supposed to be funny?

[SpartanDem]

11. That's the Obama skeet shooting photo

someone photo shopped him into that pic.

[MADem]

13. Would you please get that stupid pic out of your post? Where the hell did you get that thing?

That is NOT appropriate on this board.

4. Over 20 bullet holes in that truck

[SoapBox]

6. LAPD = Idiots

...Harbor Divsion is WORTHLESS!!!

[StrictlyRockers]

7. Pathetic.

Served and protected her right into the ICU.

Bang up job, LAPD.

14. Who did they think was in there, Bonnie and Clyde?

Inexcusable incompetence.

16. Trigger-happy, Terrified LAPD Cops Shoot Up Innocent Civilians

That's one too-on-the-nose headline we'll never see.

How many times have we heard excuses for behavior like this that sound something like, "Hey, cops are people too; they just want to make it home safe-and-sound at the end of their shift."

Here's the thing, color-of-authority psychos: So do all the innocent, law-abiding people you encounter in the course of your shift!

[lunatica]

17. So the cops shoot up blue trucks even though the real killer ditched his.

I'm just now beginning to pay attention to this story. Did they not notice it was two women? Isn't their killer supposed to be a man?

[another_liberal]

18. Are these people . . .

Are these people even trained before they're set loose on an unsuspecting public? Good lord!

[RILib]

19. miracle

It's a miracle those women survived, given the number and distribution of the bullet holes in that car. Looks like "murder on sight."

[bonniebgood]

21. The NRA Answer, If only women had a 100 round gun?

unthinking-unbelievable incompetence. So far this is what the cop-killer is saying in his manifesto. Not only
he had to watch street killers he had to watch the ones inside the department.

[christx30]

25. Maybe the cops

Should be limited to a 7 round clip.
Seriously hope these guys are brought up on charges after being fired and stripped of their pensions.
But that'll never happen. They're cops. They'll get 2weeks of paid leave then right back on the street.

[Sunlei]

22. Any officer who shot up that truck should be fired and no gun ownership ever again.

Now they have armed chumps walking through the national forest wary of every bush. The guy probably will snipe them from a distance like fish in a barrel. Citizen campers need to run for their lives, the police will probably blast every tent and car they see. He could be in that tent!!!

[CreekDog]

23. fired? how about jail?

one of the women is in ICU now.

shot in the back.

[dynasaw]

24. One of the Women was Seventy-One!

Her daughter who was also shot is said to 47. Both are described as "small Latinas" and no where close to resembling the actual suspect!

[Z_California]

26. Lucky cops

How did those ladies not get killed? These guys are absolutely out of control. And it happened not once, but twice within 10 minutes. Welcome to the new normal where gun nuts roam the streets and trigger happy cops shoot first and apologize later (or not).

27. JFC I'm just now reading about this

"Minutes later, Torrance officers responding to a report of gunshots encountered a dark pickup matching the description of Dorner's, police said. A collision occurred and the officers fired on the pickup. The unidentified driver was not hit and it turned out not to be the suspect vehicle, they said."

[jzodda]

28. You guys see the picture of that truck at the link in the OP?

Its a miracle that they survived at all! I can't believe that they did.

I also hope they get millions out of this. Trigger happy LA cops as usual.

[Dawson Leery]

29. Once one of their own is killed, the coppers (LAPD/NOPD)will use the incident

to become even worse than they are.

There is no EXCUSE for this.

[roxy1234]

30. Whoa

Reminds me of the incident in NY where the police shot not 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 but 9 innocent people trying to hit the shooter. These guys should spend more time at the firing range and less in donuts shops

[Psephos]

31. Trust authority.

High power, large-capacity, semi-automatic and automatic weapons should only be in the hands of those who can be trusted to use them responsibly, and not fall prey to hot emotion.

Like the police.
