When emotion overcomes training

[LVSteve]

Some interesting analysis of the Dorner debacle. Most telling thing for me is the this "As one chief of police would later declare, 'I had no business going up there.'" Strikes me that there was a total breakdown of command and control across several agencies. Turf war over a forensic examination? Really?

those were not days to be proud of at all.
I'd hope that someone, somewhere, learned something from it.

The media had massive amounts of bad information they broadcast to the nation. Some of that was from the police themselves, some was from Google searches and some was from Dorner 's delusional personal pages. One of things that I haven't heard about was, a review of the whole firing process that set him off in the first place. What we saw on the news (if anything could be believe) led me to think that the reasons for his firing were valid, but he was "railroaded" anyway. The police major that "represented" him was against him the whole time. Is that an excuse to murder that man's daughter; in absolutely no way. However from 2000 miles away something looks fishy. Has anything come out to clean up that mess? Ivan

when things go wrong....

When things go wrong, they really go wrong. It didn't help that Dorner used his knowledge to generate confusion among the police.

I was in SoCal when this all went down. All of the agencies involved mishandled it from the start. The military constantly trains for inter-service relationships, it amazes me that local law enforcement has not.
