Christopher Dorner and his Manifesto
The former LAPD police officer who has gone on a killing spree and vowed to bring “warfare” to the police department has received a torrent of support on Facebook.
Christopher Dorner is believed to have killed three people – a police officer and a couple – after going on a rampage around California.
Dorner (33) began his killing spree after writing a manifesto online vowing to attack on and off-duty police officers in Los Angeles.
He was fired from the police department in 2008 for making false statements, having alleged that his field training officer sergeant Teresa Evens had kicked Christopher Gettler, a schizophrenic suspect with severe dementia.
Gettler’s father (Richard) gave a testimony supporting Dorner’s claim but the police officer was discharged anyway.

More than 100 police officers were going door-to-door and searching for new tracks in the snow in the hopes of catching suspected cop killer Christopher Dorner overnight in Big Bear Lake, Calif., before he strikes again as laid out in his chilling online manifesto.
Police held a news conference late Thursday, alerting the residents near Big Bear Lake that Dorner was still on the loose after finding his truck burning around 12:45 p.m. local time.
San Bernardino County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said the authorities can’t say for certain he’s not in the area. More than half of the 400 homes in the area have been searched by police, who are traveling in two-man teams. Bachman urged people in the area to not answer the door, unless you know the person or law enforcement in uniform.
After discovering Dorner’s burning truck near a Bear Mountain ski resort, police discovered tracks in the snow leading away from the vehicle. The truck has been taken to the San Bernardino County Sheriffs’ crime lab.
Bachman would not comment on Dorner’s motive for leaving the car or its contents, citing the ongoing investigation. Police are no aware of Dorner having any ties to others in the area.
She added that the search in the area would continue as long as the weather cooperates. About three choppers were being used overnight, but weather conditions were deteriorating – according to Bachman.
“He could be anywhere at this point” – said San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon, who is expected to address the media later this morning.
Countless celebrities are mentioned in a manifesto written by Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer who is suspected of multiple murders and who has continued to hunt down former colleagues and their families.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the 18-page document, thought to be posted on Dorner’s Facebook page, is being examined by the LAPD.
Police believe that the 33-year-old Dorner has already shot three police officers (one fatally) and killed the daughter of a former LAPD captain and her fiance in the Southern California region. The department has placed protection on 40 other people, according to the newspaper.
In the manifesto, Dorner wrote that he’s suffered depression since being relieved of duty in 2008 and fired from the department the following year.
Here are just some of the things Dorner included in the lengthy manifesto:
- “Charlie Sheen, you’re effin awesome.”
