The LAPD shot and killed two women doing a delivery who they thought was Dorner.
Shot, yes. Killed, no. They were newspaper deliverers doing a route on the street the LAPD had staked out because one of Dorner's targets lived there. So they're just minding their business, rolling down the street at about 5 miles per hour, tossing out newspapers, when a bunch of freaked out cops unloaded more than 100 bullets into their truck. One of them, a 71-year-old woman, was shot twice; her daughter escaped being shot, but was cut by the broken glass. Fortunately for them, the cops had worse aim than Storm Troopers.
They've since been awarded a $4.2m settlement from Los Angeles. No charges were filed against the officers involved. Also, these weren't the only two people shot at by the police. They opened fire on another man as well that same day.
The article doesn't mention it, but I'm pretty sure that like 2 weeks after the shooting, the police chief offered to get the two women a new truck, probably in the hopes that they wouldn't sue.
Yes, but were the unarmed elderly mother and young daughter duo angels? I think not.
I didn't know Dorner memes were a thing but I remember when that whole thing went down. It played out like an action movie and I'm surprised no one made it into one.
dorner's actions were triggered after the police force retaliated legally after he reported crooked cop behavior; there will never be a accurate movie.
lmao they wouldn't be able to get DOD money for that so there wouldn't be any budget.
A classic.
I want a mod, please.
I still think it's funny how the cops (who larp as soldiers) were confronted by an actual soldier and resorted to absolute panic and burned him alive out of fear.

I know someone has the Chris Dorner hovertrain model where the tracks are made of corners and the wheels are made of Dorners
you cannot corner him
