A manhunt is continuing in California for Christopher Dorner, the former
Los Angeles police officer accused of shooting three people dead. In
his online manifesto, Dorner threatened to wage "unconventional and
asymmetrical warfare" against a police department he accused of racism
and corruption. He was fired from the police department in 2008 after
being accused of falsely claiming his training officer kicked a mentally
ill suspect in the course of an arrest. On Friday, the LAPD
announced it would reopen its investigation of Dorner’s firing and his
claims. We’re joined by journalist and activist Davey D, who says,
notwithstanding the allegations of murder, Dorner’s manifesto "has
opened up old wounds or it’s reaffirmed what people have long suspected
or have experienced in terms of [police] brutality. ... I’m really
curious as to whether or not these allegations that he has raised, where
he names dates, times and places and names, whether or not they
actually check out. And I think that needs to be really investigated,
above and beyond the immediate scenario which led to his firing."Video
