(NEWSER) – Police in LA are on high alert as they hunt for a man accused of killing an officer, wounding two others, and vowing to wage "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" on the LAPD. Here's how high the alert: Officers opened fire in two separate incidents on trucks matching the description of the suspect's vehicle, reports the LA Times. They were wrong on both counts, however, and two of the occupants are in the hospital with unspecified injuries.

Ex-cop Christopher Jordan Dorner is also suspected in a double homicide over the weekend, and police say he wrote a rambling manifesto in which he promised to hunt down police officers, reports the AP. "We're asking our officers to be extraordinarily cautious just as we're asking the public to be extraordinarily cautious with this guy," says a police official. "He's already demonstrated he has a propensity for shooting innocent people." Click for more.

More importantly, the knowledge that any given potential crime victim may be in a position to defend him/herself will reduce crime.


But that doesn't happen to be the case. Unless you want to claim those high crime areas that have easy to obtain concealed carry would have even more violence than they do now...
