Christopher Dorner
*Christopher Dorner – the former LAPD officer who allegedly killed two civilians and a police officer and at press time is the subject of a massive manhunt – praised Tavis Smiley, Soledad O’Brien, local Los Angeles anchor Pat Harvey and other journalists in a bizarre manifesto posted on his Facebook page.
“Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad Obrien [sic], Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera [sic], Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper, keep up the great work and follow Cronkite’s lead,” Dorner wrote.
He added that Cooper needs to “stop nagging and berating” his guests on the show. It was revealed Thursday that Cooper also sent the CNN anchor a package in the mail.
“Learned today suspect Christopher Dorner sent me a parcel at CNN. Inside was a note, DVD, and a coin shot thru with bullet holes,” wrote the “Anderson Cooper 360” host on Twitter today.
On CNN Thursday, Cooper elaborated about the parcel he received. “Apparently, the package arrived on the first of February. It was not opened by me. I did not know of its existence until today,” the anchor said. [Scroll down to watch.]
“Inside the package was a hand-labeled DVD with a yellow Post-It Note, reading, in part, quote, ‘I never lied,’ apparently in reference to his dismissal from the LAPD in 2008,” Cooper said.
Cooper also described the coin that was sent, saying it was “wrapped in duct tape. The tape there is the handwritten inscription, ‘Thanks, but no thanks, Will Bratton,’ who is the former LAPD chief.”
The CNN anchor said the coin looked like “a sort of keepsake” that was “was shot through with a number of bullet holes, three bullet holes to the center, another shot nicked off at the top of it.”
Dorner, 33, who had allegedly warned he would target law enforcement, is a suspect in the killing of a police officer and in two weekend killings of Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence who were found dead in a car inside a parking structure.
They want to silence him in the worst way and it’s not all about his revenge campaign. Lots of folks in Cali take his word over those now hunting him down.
Mel, exactly. Its no secret how the LAPD gets down and I believe they railroaded this guy in a major way. They stopped a brotha in San Diego who was here on a business trip and damn near almost blew his brains out because he “favored” this guy. Then they shot at a truck thinking it was his. No one snaps like this for no reason and he couldn’t have been crazy because he passed all his psych evals to join the force and the military trusted him with guns. I think him doing the right thing by telling s superior used excessive force and it cost him everything which simply made him snap.
Be sure to read his entire manifesto.

Stephanie, they also shot up a car with 2 asian women delivering newspapers. Even if they are in a position to apprehend him I believe he will be summarily executed. There’s no doubt in my mind that he was railroaded in the worst way…and after exhausting all means of addressing gross injustice…he took care of business…wanting them to feel the depths of his pain.
Its kind of like telling the truth but getting punished as though you actually did something wrong. I really hate it had to result to lives being lost but injustice can make the average person snap. Can you even imagine men who’ve done half of their life in prison for a crime they didn’t commit and the DA won’t fully exonerate them to keep them from getting financially compensated? That happened in TX…Somebody is going to check into his story and find out he was telling the truth…I don’t think for one minute this guy is what the police department making him out to be. I have a client who is a Deputy Sheriff and the horrible stories she told me about the department leaves me speechless and wondering WTF are they REALLY hiring to protect and serve?
Melodycool, I don’t want to assume anything or go off the deep end. What do YOU mean when you said “he took care of business”?
This man wanted to be a real officer and up hold peace and justice! He just didn’t realize that’s not what the LAPD is about. He thought he could stop corruption weather is was being committed by citizens or police officers. I’m NOT in anyway agreeing with his solution to his problem, but the brother was pushed over the edge once again by being treated unfairly! It’s a wonder more of us don’t turn to this as a solution! White people should be thankful that we don’t, because he is not the first and most definitely won’t be the last! He probably burned his truck to stop the LAPD from killing innocent people like they almost did! Then say it was “probably” a case of mistaken identity, yeah right!
He left nothing unsaid! I can really understand where he is coming from, but NOT his actions. Sometimes it really is a Black thing and you will never understand the frustration, but if you read his letter you can hear it. People feel when they say or do something that’s racially insensitive that it’s the first for that person, when in reality it may be the 50th or 100th time. He went back to elementary school, you never forget. You never know when that last straw is reached, think about it the next time you say or do something just because. If he’s crazed or a maniac it’s because racism made him that way!!!
TesticAl, I meant he found a way to get their attention without being dismissed this time around.
This shyt is the “live” version of that joint…”The Negotiator”!! And yeah…out here in Cali?, we ALL know WTF dude is talkin bout!! Shyt is wild & KRA! And fkn cops shot “2″ count’em TWO Latino WOMEN!!!!!, think they were…”him”!! Now WTF is DAT shyt!? Bliiiiind muthafkahs!!!! I hope gets a hold of SOME sort of media, who will allow him to “tell it live”, b4 they catch dude! But if they do?, I think dude wont give them the “satisfaction of” catching him, & will take hisSELF out. OG !! But again….dude?, he ain’t eeeeeeeven lyin!!! All Day!! Ps….and ole LL?, bedda stay HIS ass insiiiiide “UNTIL”!!!, they catch dude! I know they say “We” all look alike?, but in “this” case?…..GD!!!!
Ps sum moe…..yeah “poe poe” is spazin c/z …”the hunter?, has become the fkn prey”!!!! And they cain’t haaaaaandle DAT shyt!!! Chuuuuuuuch!
I’m gonna prey that GOD be with this brother and may peace and having an open mind help him find salvation to means to an end. But we all know the enjustices of any and all the police departments around the world. There is no coming back and undoing what’s already done. He may be fed up with what’s going on within the department with which he serves but like Paul Mooney said ” THE PROTECTION FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE CAUCACION ” is up against him now. And not only is he to deal with that, but an injustice system that was set up to benfit and protect them is now also against him. I wish him well. May GOD bless him and keep him safe and I’m gonna keep preying for a peaceful end to this madness.
