A protest in response to the death of fired LAPD officer Christopher Dorner – the subject of an extensive manhunt who is accused of killing four people – brought out about two dozen protesters in front of police headquarters in downtown Los Angeles Saturday.
Organizers said the demonstration would be peaceful and had expected about 200 participants to show up by noon.
The demonstrators called themselves "We Stand With Christopher Dorner." Some wore Guy Fawkes masks -- the ones known as a symbol of hacktivist group Anonymous -- to represent victims of police brutality.
They carried signs that read "end police brutality" and "clear his name."
Dorner, who was killed Tuesday after a fiery shootout at a mountain cabin near Big Bear, elicited sympathy from some who read his 11,400-word manifesto. In the document, Dorner described his firing from the LAPD after a review panel found he falsely reported another officer for excessive use of force against a suspect.

In the document, which he posted on Facebook, Dorner vowed to reclaim his name, and included a list of targets that he planned to eliminate. He also said the LAPD was a racist organization that had failed to reform after a series of scandals in the 1990s.
Dina Escoto, one of several people carrying signs at the protest, said she wished "in a way" that Dorner had survived so that the public could "hear his side of the story."
She said she hopes the protest "sheds some light and police change policies so we won't have another Chris Dorner."
Escoto and others said they were focused on police brutality and on the shooting of innocent civilians -- in an incident in Torrance in which two women were shot up in their truck -- in the pursuit of Dorner.
"We're protesting some of the police brutality -- not just LAPD, but all over the nation," said protester and Lomita resident Vincent Namm, a former Marine. "With Chris Dorner, habeas corpus just got thrown out the window.''
Namm added: "They didn't seem like they were even interested in apprehending him."
Authorities said Friday that Dorner had likely died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a firefight at the cabin, which burned down during the confrontation. San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said authorities did not intend to start the conflagration. He defended his deputies' actions when asked about audiotape recorded at the scene that seemed to indicate a desire on the part of officials to intentionally burn the cabin down.
Protesters were skeptical of the official version of events. Namm compared the Dorner gun battle and fire to the 1993 federal siege of a Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.
Saturday's demonstrators began to gather a little before 10 a.m. near the corner of First and Main streets before making their way to 100 W. First St., where they were met by yellow police tape bordering LAPD headquarters.
There were at least three officers at different positions in front of the building, along with three parked television vans.



This is a tragic incident and nobody won anything. You have a man that apparently was forced out of his job because of the racism that run throughout the LAPD. They have had racial issues within their department for many years. Unfortunately it seemed never to had been addresses or handled properly. Mr. Doner was a victim to their system. He did not use the right solution to solve his problem. Instead of being part of the solution he became a bigger problem. If he wanted to clear his name the methods were definitely wrong. He became a domestic terrorist. The killing of innocent people outweighed anything to clear his name. There were a lot of errors made that lead to this diaster. The mishandling of the orginal issues started Mr. Doner's decline. Once he took the law into his own hands there was no hope to ever right the wrong that had been committed against him. He knew the outcome of his actions and had a premediated plan. The only thing he accomplished was to expose the LAPD racism.
To immoralize Michael Doner in any fashion is wrong. He was a murderer and he made his choice when he killed the first two people. He knew he awoke a sleeping giant when he murdered the police officers. His death was by his own hand. He started out as a victim of a social prejudices and then became the aggressor. When it was all said and done he was dead and the problems still remain. The lost of innoncent lives are the ones to remembered not the murderer.
Why is it that everytime the black man is caught doing the crime, he screams racism?
According to people like you, blacks are always innocent. Funny how they are 13% of the population and over 70% of those in jail/prison. The facts don't lie.
A black LAPD officer being caught in a crime does not make LAPD racist. It does make the LAPD officer (Dorner) a criminal.
Typical racist pinko commies, really . . .
Really! :-o
Seriously? I'm about as liberal as it gets, and I DO NOT stand with Dorner. Had he put up a blog (free and easy to do) and published his "manifesto" on it -- I might be all for him. But instead he chose to kill others in order to "make his point" -- and that's better than the cop he reported for abuse how?
There is no rational basis to clear this man's name -- he decided that an idea he had in his head was worth more than the lives of others -- and that's wholly unsupportable, no matter how you try to twist it.
Those "standing with" him are not "liberals" -- they're just kooks.
F_cken liberals will have a movie out in short order making the murderer out to be some sort of hero and all the good little liberal sheep will run to see it. After that they will all be kissing each others ass at some F_cken award show where they all get together and pat each other on the back for doing it.
you are correct

There's no logic whatsoever in them asking you, "Who do you call in the middle of the night when somebody breaks in your home?" What the does that have to do with them being no good? I totally agree with you because what happened to Dorner has happened TWICE to me.
My name also has been unjustly sullied by liars so I understand how he felt. It's a terrible thing to believe in justice, fairness, equality, and people wink and nod at one another while they deny you justice, excuse the real criminals, and place the blame on you. I think he shouldn't have murdered those people though but left it up to the Lord Who will repay in His time either in this life or the next. I'd think a man with his background would have seen that but I understand he was a pretty stand up black and white sort of guy and didn't like or appreciate lying and injustice. I hope he made his peace with the Lord before killing himself.
Why not make peace with Santa Claus or Neptune also? They are all myths and figments of a brainwashed mind.
Yeah this is the American way nowadays. Let's make this mass murderer into a folk hero, similar to Bonnie & Clyde and some others who were wanted by the justice system. No wonder we have the highest crime rate in the world. Breaking the law is not only justified by many of the libs, but also glorified.
@applejack;im w/you.i vividly recall waco.nuff said.if this guy would have used his head he would have done his own investigation into what he was claining,doesnt usn teach its zeros anything about that anymore.innocent is that,nothing less and he lost it,so did people caught in between unfortunately.
Lets pass a new law the Dorner Law that forbids excessive force againt a suspect. I think we could use this law world wide. Something good should come of all this tragity that has happened there are no winners here.
The real "tragity" is that you are an American adult who cannot spell.... and lousy Union protected teachers want raises.... I don't think so!
Donerlaw, Haaaaa You get the supreme award for the biggest loser ever, creating "dornerlaw" as your name, are you frigging kidding the world?? Excessive force?? Dragging his dead stump through Big Bear would be better. You have mental issues and should find a high cliff and jump, my post for worthless human excrement!! Do you live with your mommy at 45 and have no job, the excessive force was the bullet he put through his cowardess pea brain..A great thing
It's unfortunate that the cops didn't have to opportunity to shoot the racist coward, at least 16 times in the face.
This reminds me of the story about a far-left nut reporter who asked a cop "how come you guys shot him 57 times?" and the cop answered "because that's all of the bullets we had."
Yea.... here's the thing to many people take everything at face value. I bet you believe EVERY thing you see on tv. Like Spongbob building fires under water. Look at the whole story. The police were never trying to arrest Donor. They wanted to make an example like they have done for ever. You don't F#$@ with the police. The police have become exactly what they were suppose to stop. Criminals.
They get away with murdering people first and fore most. The fact this all started over a police brutality case is another important part. He took a stand because a police woman beat a mentally ill homeless man. He reported her and because the brother hood of police doesn't like it when you turn on a fellow cop no matter what. Look at the CHP that gave a local cop a speeding ticket.
The CHP got in trouble for doing what is right. Just cause your a cop doesn't mean you should have impunity from the law. Which ironically enough is the same point they tried to say about Donor. Then there's the innocent people shot at by police thinking it was Donor like the Two women delivering newspapers. Didn't they just open fire on them with no reasoning? In a suburban neighborhood.
Then the there's this manifesto which over the last two weeks keeps changing in size. It started as a 5,000 word, then 6,000, then 11,000, and now 11,400. He must have been updating or it was released to get people to turn on Donor. The thing is when he took hostages he always and I'm quoting " I don't want to hurt you " When he car jacked that guy. Those were his words while trying to ditch a cop on him.
Mind you the cop open fire the minute he saw donor car jack the man. Who's the one that sounds like there trying to be a killer in that exchange? History is written by the victors! The truth is also! I question the fact Donor is this killer or horrible person. To be honest it looks like it's the other way around. Then there's the lack of effort to arrest him.
They have him pinned in a cabin, surrounded, exchange of gun fire, and there call is to wait him out. Now they could have done the SAME thing with out incendery ammo. I'm willing to bet from the look of everything as a whole they either suicide him and burn him or killed him and burned him. Just like Donor did with the truck burn away the evidence to be used against him later.
This was an organized assassination to a rather large degree. There were more then a couple cops trying to flat out kill him. In my old town that I left recently the police there shot and killed two people in different exchanges and it was labeled justified. First was a scum bag named Phillip Oliver. Don't get me wrong he was a POS! His second to last act was beating up his mother. The GPD shows up and the cop that had a chip on his shoulder towards oliver for years...... looks through his sideyard window trying to get access to the house for a domestic call.
Looks through the window. Quoted this in court too " Saw he was unarmed nothing in his hands " then he here's a loud bang * he thought it was a gun shot * It was the front screen door as police tried to talk him to the door. So then Oliver does the first messed up thing to his mom. Die infront of her. The cop shot him twice in the chest center mass.
The police rush in and put their knee into his chest to cuff him. Two fatal gun shot wounds to the chest and they feel the need to put their knee on his wounds and cuff him. He was dead before the cop stood up. The other was a 16 year old kid that attempted to rob my favorite coffee shop. He was armed with a hammer he used to get through the window and open the register. The police officer got the surprise drop on him and the kid turned to run. The cop gunned him down in the store. Back turned to him attempting to run cuz he was a 16 year old kid that had a loaded gun pulled on him.
Yea I'm sure feel safe thinking these things, but it's reality and these are the people WE let continue on in this fashion. This exact thing has been going on since we had police. It's called the abuse of power! Truck drivers get double to triple the fines for road violations. Because there suppose to know better. Then there was a cop that killed multiple people and then murdered someone. His comment to the issue " I was suppose ot have my physic evaluation but never did. " I'm not saying Donor was innocent and not guilty of anything, but all the facts in this case bring me to question EVERYTHING there doing and saying. Actions speak louder then words.
what are you smoking?
wow, long post. what was the name of that anphenimine your on again is?
Is your name insomniac and wow, what meds and alcohol are you on!! Ahh yea, and Domner was what? A murderer, psycho, lying pile of chit, and your rant has what really, go check yourself in and I bet you would have been one of many freaks that would marry a turd like this in prison..
Bla Bla, Bla, time to stop playing with you morons, nite..
Some of the comments people are making here are quite scary, nothing justifies the murders that this man has committed, he has stained his name forever in the blood of his victims.
Lets pass a New Law the Dorner Law against excessive force against a suspect. The whole world could benefit from this.
Yeah, great idea. We will pat the murderers on the ass and then put them in a time out. How does that sound?
Just another "black injustice" claimed by black people. No matter the crime, be it murder, child molestation, assault of police officers or a myriad of other serious offenses, the outpouring of support for these criminals from the black community is shameful. Although, this was a small protest but there should not have been one at all. A total disregard of fact or evidence and to only claim that an injustice has been committed against a black person no matter the crime or circumstance. Truly shameful.
They are never guilty... it is always "whitey's" fault
The blacks culture of denial and blame will never change.
Say > Y now the > T & say it real fast out loud! >>> Y~T Y~T Y~T Y~T ........Tada! lol
I think those 20 people who are so outraged should attend the funerals of the people he killed and speak to the families, without the masks. After all, if you are going to make a statement have something liberals don't have (ask Michelle Obama) and that's balls and face these people.
What people aren't talking about is he made the fatal and dare I say stupid flaw of identifying the people he wanted to kill. If he wanted to maximize damage he never would have put specific names. As it was all fo the 40 people had significant police protection so there was no way he would reach any of them. It just wouldn't happen
Second, if he really wanted to get people he would found a way to get close to any of the people. As it is it appears he was at that cabin the whole time. That tells me that while he was angry he was going to settle for killing anyone.
Finally, he was a victim? From what I have read he went into the department thinking that racism existed so he had a preconceived notion and a bent from the beginning.
I am sure Oliver Stone or Michael Moore or some other wack job liberal will produce a movie about this guy and make him out to be a hero. Isn't that how liberals look at things?? I actually think he acted like coward. He kills 4 people, where he played judge and jury, he took the easy way out and capped himself. That is so typical. Colombine, NewTown, the perps all killed themselves. I wish once one of these scum would live and face the system they demonize. Fat chance of that happening.
Great post, and I am with you 100% as some Jewish puke movie making billionaires in LA will make millions off of a gun tooting criminal and not shed any light on the victims, the hypocritical leftist moronic greedy opportunists..Great point, Those maggots are already drinking 100 dollar bottles of wine concocting a disgusting future movie, the worst of the worst and all the dumb sheep will pay to see it, dumb is dumb and the scary thing as the same morons vote and look what we have!!
I can't believe that there are this many diluted people.. "I actually saw him pet a kitten once"....... REALLY..... REALLY????????????
deluded
Next thing you know Obama will be looking to give Dorner a medal. Remember when Obama said that Trayvon Martin could be his son?
The next thing you know some typical citizen will turn this into something about Obama...oh they already did. it's not the Democrats, the Republicans, the blacks, the whites, the religious or the athiest who are at the root of the problems in this country. It's people like you
You can believe What ever you want. The problem is that we only know what we were told by LA. And LA definitely has a history of deception and abuse. Honestly we have no idea if Dorner was innocent or guilty. And of course now we will never know. That is the problem.. I do not believe what I am told. I search for answers that lead to the truth. This story will lead no where now that Dorner is gone.
If Dorner wasn't guilty and "that is the problem"--who the hell carried out murderous rampage HE (Dorner)listed, with names, in his manifesto? Peter Pan?
Ahhhh go back to school and take a reading comprehension class and some English classes, One word idiot Manifesto!!! Read much, comprehend his lying pathetic rant to kill, what a fool you are like many here that are blatantly needing a class in brains, sorry you and others were shorted at birth, maybe your head got stuck in yo mamas Vgi and cut off the oxygen to your scull...
DH, Do you have information or evidence That proves Dorner was indeed the author of the Manifesto? Do you have Video, witness accounts, on any of the murders he allegedly committed? LA PD don't so you need to turn that stuff in. MY guess would be No, All info or evidence you have is what you were TOLD by MSM and the LA PD. And I would also assume you never look into the whole story. as well as the history on LA PD. You also just take what you are told at face value and never question anything at all. IOM
what about discusing the 2 women that were delivering papers that were shot at by some barney 5 cop that was nervos in the service and dischaged his gun b4 he could see who it was or does the lapd not want to dicuss that .......
Who cares Matt moron, do you know the facts, NO you don't. The Officers were on the Street and hear gun shots and a truck that was exact, at night, blue or dark gray, leaving with it's headlights off....Ahhh Dahhhh, light it up when it wouldn't stop... I guess driving while asain and stupidity got their truck lit up!! They are very lucky to be alive because the dumb as$ couldn't turn one turn to turn the headlights on and if the old goofy fool would have they would have been a felony stop and they would have seen that it was an old dumb as$ Asian woman at the wheel, not that they have had driving problems before, oh i'm sorry for being so right and insensitive!!. The maggot attorneys were in a full Sprint to get to the deep pockets, a disgrace, buy that fool a new truck and pay for her medical bills and put some cash in her pocket, too bad not so sad, part of a violent and the City should sue his estate if he has anything left and give it to the minimum wage paper girls...
It is a joke that this puke is getting any press, his smiling criminal psycho as$ on the front page, why doesn’t this liberal POS website doesn’t post the dead families, how about the heroes and the innocent dead story, "NONE", it's a disgrace to give this psycho one word of press fake as$ all over the media and then put his criminal smiling punk face on this leftist page, very glad he took a rifle round to his demented rotten lying, twisted brain or his coward punk as$ self inflected his own demented brain, who cares!! Why does 10 idiots on a Street corner with signs gets nationwide press, typical leftist liberal garbage. The headline should say, "a maggot killer” is dead and throw his dirtbag as$ under the wheels, like where is his daddie (typical) and his mama was drinking in a bar while he was killing innocent people with his deranged mind and illegal weapons where he praised Pelosi, Reid and Feinstein about gun control, but he used those same guns to kill many until brave SWAT Officers dumped hot gas and burned him into a crispy POS!! The story should be that the family that was on TV didn‘t care about their cabin, but more cared about the violent deaths at the hands of this criminal liar..Where is that story, no, the leftist liberal media focuses on him, what a disgrace. The honor from the cabin family shows the true dignity and the county will pay for their cabin, money well spent and I don’t want to hear about you losers that think your penny’s of taxes had to pay for it, I will personally give them 10k and more money to the families that lost their fathers and husbands and all that goes with it….
by the by glad this murderer is dead he would have been a drain on the justice system like all other murderers that should be put to deat to save our tax dollars.....
Matt I know your just trolling since your plague ratting. Your only comment back is an insult. You have no reason to debate here with your only argument being insults. Right now Constitutional rights for all of us are at risk. This is a prime example. The Troll's will eat it up and you have the same mentality of those police officers just kill him. Save the system? Your the problem with this system. I quote.......
The 5th Amendment: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury... nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be DEPRIVED of life, liberty, or property, without due PROCESS of law! Sic Simper Tyrannis....
Dorner was wrong in what he did, and deserved to either face justice or die. However, there needs to be a full independent investigation into the events surrounding and involved with this situation. The fact that police fired on three innocent citizens who were minding their own business and just carrying on as usual, two of which were women and one of those was a 71 year old shot in the back twice, indicates something really rotten in that police department. Police officer's lives are on the line every day while they are carrying out their duties, so that day should have not been different enough for them to be so agitated that they would make "mistakes" like that. It's their job to follow procedure , check facts and utilize a high level of discernment in tense situations. There were over one hundred rounds fired at the vehicle, which was a different make model and color, with the two women inside, who were not even warned or given the chance to surrender. Anybody who says the women were somehow at fault for driving with their headlight off is a moron. Lot's of newspaper carriers drive with their lights off or dimmed. If the police officers were to upset to notice they were about to fire on a completely different vehicle and license plate than those of the suspect, maybe the pile of newspapers in the back of the pickup being thrown by two older Hispanic ladies should have been a clue. Justice needs to prevail all the way across the board here, and I don't mean the inevitable payoffs to keep the victims from filing charges.
So now you're a psychologist? How can you possibly say that those three people getting shot indicates there is something rotten? That is the most outrageous, stupid reach you could make. So now you know what it's like to be a police officer huh? Follow procedures? Ever hear of the human element? It must be nice to Monday morning quarterback when you weren't there. But I guess you'll be part of the inquriy since you seem to have it all figured out already.
It's their job to follow procedure , check facts and utilize a high level of discernment in tense situations.
Really? Folks Pay attention! billybarebru has uncovered information on those in the higher echelon's of police administration know. Follow procedure? DUH....why don't you say something intelligent..come to think of it I won't live that long....check facts? REALLY? No I figured they got out a Ouija board and let it decide for them. High level of discernment in tense situations? OMG!! I didn't know that!!! Are you a wanna be police man? A mall cop who couln't cut it? Unless you know specific procedures you're talking out your caboose aypak
Since you are SO BRILLIANT, would you please come to my living unit? That way when the North and South kick off a riot then you can tell us why they did it, where the conflict origninated and how long it took to set it up. Then, even though you are a total stranger, you can tell me what the hell I should do when I run out of pepper spray and the calvary hasn't arrived yet. You know procedure, should I ask them real nice to stop beating the crap out of each other and talk about it? When one runs up on me to assault me with a weapon, tell me the procedure I am suppose to follow. Do I stand there and let him beat my brains in? Shove that shank in my chest? Please tell me, we are all awaiting your pronouncement from on high. Our lives our at stake and only you know the answer.
I detest people like you who've never worked one day in their line or mine and yet you have all the answers. You don't know squat. Keep making those brilliant posts. I am sure your friends will recognize your ridiculous rant.
Billy the fool, I can't read your stupid post past a few lines and you have never been in such a tense situations, where this POS has already killed people and shot it out with several police agency's officers. Your rant is beyond ignorant and until you have been in shootouts and the bullets wiz by your head and hit the ground at your feet, your mouth needs to stay shut like many here as I have been there and I dont care what you say as you are as dumb as it gets...phuck that pos, a dead crispy criminal is a good thing...
I guess police officers whith mindsets like DirtyHarry101 LOL, and CreepingBuffalo should be given liscense to take out as much of the innocent bystander population as they deem necessary in the execution of their duties. I hope you never find yourself in a situation where your family members receive the same consideration as the bystanders I was talking about, but if you do, I hope you choke on your own remembering what you wrote here.
Thank you Billy starting to think only troll's were here. No one cares about all the actions taken here. I'm not trying to clear his name, but demand the same process for everyone. I wouldn't want this to be me over crimes I never done, but had a cop with a power trip that dislikes me to fake a bunch of stuff. It wouldn't magically be the first time a police officer had done such.
When your enemy is cornered, wounded, and with no ground to turn to. Especially when your plan is already to wait him out. What's the point of setting the house on fire? He's already cornered and on a time limit on a couple accounts. Using hot rounds to burn down the house sounds more like to destroy evidence that might link a police officer to a flat out murder of a suspect with no jury. I think we need to get rid of cops like that. ISN'T that the whole..... point? Why they wanted Donor in the first place?
IT is very telling that hese rcist black people are calling for his name to be cleared, and not just reopeing the investigation to decide whether it should be cleared. (A man trying to provie his innocense does NOT mruder compeltely innocent people...in fact, they don't murder anyone.)
Kind of like the racists with the "Free Mumia" where they wanted a cop killer freed on a technicality because there was rumors that maybe he didn't receive a fair trial. Even though all the facts pointed to him being guilty, they didn't want him to get a nerw trial...just be freed.
Racis black people hate reality...which is that they commtit more crimes
Maybe those in the black community need to look at some facts. Interracial crimes are expondentially more black on white than white on black. And if people are going to go down that pathetic, weak minded road remember Reginald Denny? He was the white truck driver who was pulled from his truck during the riots in LA and a thug named Damian Williams caved his face in with a brick. He disfigured his face so bad that one of eyes almost ended up in one of his sinuses. He endured over 40 surgeries and was never able to work again. Damian Williams? Only did 4 years, got out and less than a year later murdered a drug dealer. Now he's doing life. What was ironic was many liberals defended Williams by saying that he had been the victim of racism his entire life. He was 20 years old when he assaulted Denny. From my best recollection segragation was not an issue, he was born in the 80's so just what was the racism he faced? Justify his behavior however you have to do it while a guy comes close to dying and 90% probably have no idea who Reginald Denny is. Our society glamourizes murderers. They did Ted Bundy, The Night Stalker, Son of Sam. Gacy. People out to ask themselves why that is because that's a pathology I don't understand
Damian Williams---The "convenient-when it fits my purpose" racism.
This is so damned laughable! Trying to clear a murdering SOB's name now! I am wondering if it were a white man would any black folks even care? Answer,,,,,Hell no! This DUDE might have been a nice guy at one time but he crossed over the line and lost it all by becoming a murdering Bastard!
You are a little late you dim wits. Go back home.
