A record $1m reward has been posted for information leading to the capture of a fugitive former Los Angeles policeman suspected of targeting fellow officers and their families in three killings committed in retaliation for his 2008 firing.
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck said on Sunday the reward, raised from private donations, police unions, businesses and city and county governments, marks the largest sum ever offered in Southern California in a criminal investigation.
The reward was posted as law enforcement agencies across the region pressed on for a fourth day in their search for the suspect, ex-LAPD officer and US Navy reservist Christopher Dorner, 33.
Beck described it as the most extensive manhunt ever mounted in the Los Angeles area. ETC
Seems one fat ex LA cop is running rings around everybody and has so far avoided capture or a bullet or two in his back side .
I am "following" this obsessed and perhaps now deranged guy with increasing interest as he eludes capture .
Naturally him killing and injuring people cannot be condoned , even if he does have valid gripes about his dismissal three years ago . But there is always something fascinating about one guy with possibly a few preservation skills showing how fragile the system is , even if it only lasts a short time .
For the mutants -- I have metaphorically put on one side the damage he has unforgivably caused victims and their nearest and dearest and reduced it all to comic strip levels -- which should also suit most of you
