" WHY did he have something to reveal about the LA police that needed to be covered up " No, dammit. If he had something to reveal about the LAPD, why did he have to kill 4 or 5 people to reveal it? The guy had a #*!!ing assault rifle. He declared war on the police. He killed one that day.He didn't wave a white flag when he had the chance. This is the age of the internet. You don't have to kill people to get your point out. You want publicity? Those 2 people he tied up? They were hostages to use; "give me Channel 5 for an hour, and I'll turn mice elf in to the FBI." He didn't want hostages and messages; he wanted dead cops. The only thing that bothers me about burning him out is the danger of setting the woods on fire, cuz, despite the snow on the ground, it's been too dry.

<<<<<As the cabin sheltering Dorner burned, the local CBS affiliate was reportedly told by law enforcement to zoom its helicopter camera out to avoid showing the actions of sheriff’s deputies. By all accounts, the media acceded to police pressure for self-censorship.>>> Nothing worse than a 'right' wing conspiracy theory is the likes of this story. The LAPD has problems, but think about the above 'request' to CBS and ask yourself if you had been one of the San Bernadino police officers making an attempt to capture Dormer--would you want CBS or even Fox news to be broadcasting live their every move? Self-censorhip or showing on live TV officers being killed by a lunatic being able to see what the police are doing----common sense is that putting a police officer's life on the line is a no-brainer decision--not self-censorship. (IMO))
