LAPD report upholds decision to fire Christopher Dorner
Source: LA Times
Christopher Dorner, the ex-Los Angeles police officer who went on a killing rampage to avenge his firing from the LAPD, lied repeatedly to further a "personal agenda" during his short time on the force and deserved to be thrown out of the department, police officials concluded in a report released Friday.
Police Chief Charlie Beck ordered an internal review of Dorner's 2009 firing to address claims Dorner made about the department in a rambling manifesto he posted online, in which he described an LAPD rife with racism and corruption.
Beck made the move after a chorus of critics from both from within the department and outside its ranks latched on to Dorner's allegations, saying that while they condemned the killings, Dorner's dark description of the agency rang true. That swell of harsh criticism, Beck and others feared, threatened to undo years of work by police and city officials to rehabilitate the department's reputation after decades marked by abuses and scandal.
Dorner was fired in 2009, and in February of this year, police say, he shot to death an Irvine woman -- the daughter of the attorney who defended him at his disciplinary proceedings -- and her fiance. Dorner then is believed to have killed two police officers and wounded three other people as he evaded capture during an intense manhunt.

So now we know that LAPD fired him and San Berdoo sheriffs fired on him and he died.
But, he apparently was a murderer and a bit of a loony. So why is this important news when DU has already had sufficient chair throwing about this already.
