This guy wouldn't make it to jail even if he came in very peacefully. He'll get disappeared, if he hasn't already been.

**“If you turn yourself in, you will be safe and nobody else has to die,” Beck said on the station. ** Sure Beck, we can ALL trust you and all of those other corrupt officials that are crapping in their pants at this very moment, not because Mr.Droner is after them, but because their KARMA is after them and when they all end up in front of a grand jury, hopefully a FEDERAL one, boy oh boy, will Hollywood have some material to start making better tv shows and movies, and if Mr.Droner does not get killed or cut up into tiny pieces by those corrupt cops that are after him, then may and only maybe will the TRUTH come out, from all of the ALLEGATIONS made by Mr.Droner against fellow officers inside the LAPD.

If some JT posters have time, just look at all of the OPINIONS being posted for the Los Angeles Times, most DO NOT believe ANYTHING the LAPD is trying to put out to the public and many, many regular White people too are plenty pissed off with the LA Police Department, having been victims of violence etc..so just imagine how minorities, etc..have suffered under the LAPD.

Well, if the guy wants to clear his name, the LAPD will be wanting to clear theirs too.

This case has many parallels with a 1982 workplace shooting in an IBM branch office in Bethesda, MD, in which three were killed and seven injured.

The shooter was a man from a minority group who felt he had been unfairly dismissed by the company. I happened to work for the company at that time and so had an opportunity not only to learn about the case, but to balance the allegations against my own direct experiences in the company at the time. And the first thing that came to mind was what an executive confided in me as we shared a shuttle from downtown Chicago to O'Hare Airport a few years earlier. I was very new in the company at the time and he asked me what I thought. After telling him, he looked at me and said that it "used to be" a much better company before being "forced" to make all of these "minority hires."

Moreover, there were minority hires in my office, and I could cite examples of how many of my fellow white engineers were trying to railroad them out in very subtle ways.

Importantly, after that shooting in 1982, the company made extra efforts to ensure that everyone was being treated fairly. I see this being reflected in the desire by the LAPD to re-open this matter. If a guy is no longer interested in living under the tarnish and shame of an unjust action, he can accomplish a lot in America if he wants to give up his life and take others out with him. Because, deep down, America believes in and responds to that kind of violence.

Looks like to me you have a serious beef with the LAPD....wonder why? You continuously claim that these cops are corrupt and I have asked you before to please show proof of this. You are just making stuff up with baseless accusations, if you have some intel that the LAPD missed, call the media. What do you know that most Angelines don't know. What are you talking about "KARMA??" If you say, YOU personally have a beef with the LAPD that would be more believable. Personally, growing up in LA and seeing so many Black and Latino cops out there and there are a lot, I absolutely don't believe that he was the victim of racism, are there racist cops out there, sure, but all of them or the entire LAPD institution, Nope! I believe that Dorner is playing the race card to justify his claims agains the LAPD, he screwed up, pure and simple. No one told him to do what he did and falsify police reports. I feel really sorry for the families that lost their loved ones. Dorner what he did and Corruption is nothing new in ANY police department it is NOT on any grand scale in LA, you may have a couple of individuals that are involved in it and from time to time, you need to clean house, but that NOT the majority of the time. I have NEVER seen a police department that was perfect and blemish free. But all this matters little, they can re-open the case if they want, but this guy is done, you can stick a fork in him, his days are numbered, he'll either end up in jail or end up with a toe tag.

Elbuda: so just imagine how minorities, etc..have suffered under the LAPD.

The LADP is mostly comprised of minorities:

Hispanic men make up the largest number.

Thanks for proving my point debunking that myth.

SuperBass, you all think because there are many "Latinos" in the LAPD that these Latinos ARE NOT RACIST?? Go back to the MANIFESTO, the last names of some of the cops that were using the "N" word left and right were not WHITE, they were like ME, LATINOS, which makes me very ashamed! Just because a cop is a certain race, does not mean that that racial community will automatically approve of them, like them etc..many HISPANIC cops, that can not even speak SPANISH are ashamed of their race, of their heritage etc...so guess what the LATINO community thinks about them?? I bet more honest, hard working Latinos would much rather deal with Mr.Droner, who tried his hardest to fight against bullies, racists etc..The LAPD has very few friends, just look at all of the OPINIONS on the Lois Angeles Times, even many, many white folk are happy that Mr.Droner is fighting to clean up his name and fighting against the corrupt, racist organization a.k.a. the LAPD.

This mess with the LAPD is ONLY the TIP of the ICEBERG not just for LA, not just for California and not just for the USA, this kind of mess happens all over the world, including JAPAN, just see how many cops in Japan suicide because of IJIME, or what Mr.Droner endured at the LAPD, for our English only speakers here, bullying by his fellow, corrupt and racist, conformist cops.

The majority are NOT. That's a fact.

Go back to the MANIFESTO, the last names of some of the cops that were using the "N" word left and right were not WHITE, they were like ME, LATINOS, which makes me very ashamed!

Blacks use it as well, it's an ugly word, but that doesn't make someone using that word a racist. If I call a fat person "tubby" that doesn't mean I'm against overweight people.

Just because a cop is a certain race, does not mean that that racial community will automatically approve of them, like them etc..many HISPANIC cops, that can not even speak SPANISH are ashamed of their race, of their heritage etc...so guess what the LATINO community thinks about them??

So then who is the Actual racist then if you put it like that?

I bet more honest, hard working Latinos would much rather deal with Mr.Droner, who tried his hardest to fight against bullies, racists etc..The LAPD has very few friends, just look at all of the OPINIONS on the Lois Angeles Times, even many, many white folk are happy that Mr.Droner is fighting to clean up his name and fighting against the corrupt, racist organization a.k.a. the LAPD.

Seems like this guys was NOT fighting to clean anything up, if he is so good and wholesome, how and why did he end up killing 3 innocent people? Hardworking, yeah, to cover up his crime spree, I believe that. Why is it that you liberals want to make everything and I mean EVERYTHING about

This mess with the LAPD is ONLY the TIP of the ICEBERG not just for LA, not just for California and not just for the USA, this kind of mess happens all over the world, including JAPAN, just see how many cops in Japan suicide because of IJIME, or what Mr.Droner endured at the LAPD, for our English only speakers here, bullying by his fellow, corrupt and racist, conformist cops.

I get it, you don't like cops. Is that an intolerant position to take? So if Blacks and Latinos are abused by Whites it's called racism and or racial hatred. If Whites are abused by Blacks and Latinos, it's just an attack or an assault. That is just so absurd, unbelievable.
