Evidently, you CAN push someone too far

Jesus! what the fuck are they even shooting at? The house looks to be 200 to 300 yards away.

Jesus! what the fuck are they even shooting at?

Right? He was is a small cabin maybe they were hoping to score a hit. The guy at the tailgate popped off a few rounds towards the woods lol

[Scott Mc]

The cabin looked pretty big yesterday. It just looked like they had no idea what they were doing. The sad thing is my click of shooting buddies often look more organized than that mess was.

They send them to Bakersfield, it's pretty damn close to the death penalty.

I've never been there, but this still seems funny.

The city of Los Angeles offered a lot of money for information regarding the whereabouts of Christopher Dorner, but, after last night’s shootout, the city may be off the hook for their $1 million reward. According to the legalese in the offer, there are a few big loopholes that the LAPD may be able to crawl through.

According to TMZ, there were three major awards offered for information about Dorner. The LA City Council and the LA County Board of Supervisors both offered a $100,000 reward, and the Mayor of Los Angeles offered a $1 million reward.

All of those offers may be void, however, since Dorner was killed during the shootout last night and not captured.

According to CBS, hundreds of tips poured in after Los Angeles put up a $1 million reward, and many believe that those tips directly led police to the cabin in Big Bear. The police may have used citizen information to find Dorner but that doesn’t mean that they’ll have to pay up.

You see, the Mayor of Los Angeles offered $1 million for the “capture and conviction” of Christopher Dorner, but the former officer was presumably killed in the cabin fire last night. And, if Dorner is dead, then it’s going to be pretty hard to convict him. There’s the loophole: No conviction equals no money.

The LA City Council and the LA County Board of Supervisors may also be able to slip through a similar Dorner reward loophole. The City Council offered money for the “the identification, apprehension, and conviction” of Dorner while the Board of Supervisors offered a reward for Dorner’s capture.

But Dorner wasn’t captured, and he certainly wasn’t convicted.

The LAPD may have used citizen information to find Dorner, but, since they weren’t able to take him alive, they probably won’t have to pay a cent to anyone. That, of course, makes the cabin fire last night even more suspicious.

NY Mag reports that two maids are being credited with the tip that led police to Dorner. LAPD spokesperson Richard French said that the department is still talking about how (or if) they will hand out the reward.

French said:

“When there are rewards like this, they have to sit down with investigators and others, including the people who are offering the reward, the organizations who were offering the reward, and they have to kind of figure out how, or if, the reward is going to be distributed.”

what a fucking joke

[DallasSleeper]

I guess the only way to get the reward would have been to capture him yourself and ensure he made it to jail alive.

[scootro]

the LAPD is corrupt even when paying a reward

[Forever_frost]

And they 'found' an ID in the burned out cabin that is Dorner's. The same one that was found last week in a trash can near Mexico. Odd isn't it?

[Hmbre97]

[FunFordCobra]

He's still alive... With Tupac.

I guess the only way to get the reward would have been to capture him yourself and ensure he made it to jail alive.

And lived to be convicted.

LMAO!

Fucking seriously?

The sheriff of San Bernardino County said Wednesday afternoon that officers did not intentionally set fire to the cabin where Christopher Jordan Dorner was holed up and that the investigation was over because he believed the fugitive was killed in the standoff.

"We did not intentionally burn down that cabin to get Mr. Dorner out," Sheriff John McMahon told reporters at a news conference.

[Updated, 4:53 p.m. Feb. 13: He said that deputies fired conventional tear gas into the cabin and then used incendiary gas on the structure, which was first reported Wednesday by The Times. The cabin burned to the ground. Dorner is believed to have died inside.]

McMahon said that he couldn't positively say that Dorner had died in the standoff at the cabin in the Big Bear area, where hundreds of rounds were fired Tuesday afternoon.

But, the sheriff said, "We believe that this investigation is over at this point."

As authorities searched the snow-covered mountains for Dorner in the days before the shootout, he appears to have been hiding in plain sight, just a five-minute walk from where law enforcement officials from multiple agencies had centered their search operation for the ex-Los Angeles Police Department officer.

More than 200 officers were involved during the first night of search operations late last week. Sheriff’s Department officials said the search included more than 600 cabins over eight square miles.

It apparently did not include the neighborhood where Dorner was hiding. The circumstance is reminiscent of the federal government’s search for reputed Boston crime boss Whitey Bulger, who was hiding under federal agents’ noses when he was captured.

"As far as I could tell, they did about as good as they could do," said Otis Farry, whose home is on Club View Drive. "Who would've known?"

Farry's home abuts the Big Bear Lake golf course, which is across the street from the neighborhood that rises into the forest.

“I figured he was back in the woods somewhere, but the guy was right across the street,” said Bruce Doucett, 55, a certified public accountant who lives in the same condominium complex as the unit where Dorner was said to be hiding. “All I can say is that it’s a bit unnerving.”

Doucett said the condo in question had been vacant and clean since Thursday, the last time a tenant was there for a vacation rental.

Authorities aren't sure how long Dorner might have been in the condo. But Carl Macon, 53, said it was unsettling to know he walked his dog by the condo every day. He described Dorner's alleged acts as "something out of a suspense book."

Macon said his house has been tense, even after a visit by a SWAT team Thursday night as part of the cabin checks. Despite rumors Dorner might have left the mountain, Macon said he thought chances were good the fugitive had stayed — a lot of people he knew were on their toes.

But now, Macon said, it's "time to chill."

A former Naval Reserve lieutenant, Dorner allegedly threatened "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" against police in a lengthy manifesto that authorities say he posted on Facebook. The posting named dozens of potential targets, including police officers, whom Dorner allegedly threatened to attack, according to authorities.

Records state that the manifesto was discovered by authorities last Wednesday, three days after the slaying of an Irvine couple: Monica Quan, a Cal State Fullerton assistant basketball coach, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, a USC public safety officer.

Quan was the daughter of a retired LAPD captain whom Dorner allegedly blamed in part for his firing from the force in 2009.

"All right, we're gonna go forward with the burn ... like we talked about," said a voice on a local police scanner frequency. "We have fire in the front, he might come out the back."

They didn't say that, it's all bullshit made up by the media.

[Forever_frost]

Actually they did. Listen to the audio
