Officer Dorner reported that his training officer kicked a downed, mentally ill homeless man multiple times after tazing him (the tazer was used after the man threw a punch at the cop) and got fired for it. Then he snapped and has been hunting down other cops. He definitely deserves to go to prison, for killing a few innocent people. But the fact that the LAPD continues to deny and hide the rampant police brutality that goes on is disgusting.
An interesting comment from that link:

So basically, LAPD had a good cop who was trying to do his job well, and they turned him into a killer by firing him for doing the right thing by trying to actually "protect and serve" the people, and firing him in such a way that future employment in LE would be damn near impossible..
On top of that, you have a bunch of trigger happy cops that have already injured 3 completely innocent people [in a botched attempt to capture Dorner] by firing into one truck, that might have looked like Dorner's truck, and injuring 2 women, who were obviously not black men. Then yesterday, you had two cops ram and total another truck, that was the wrong make and color, and this is the best part, a couple days after they had confirmed they found Dormer's truck freshly burned up, and again a barrage of bullets fired at a a white man, who again, was obviously not black.
You know that after the investigation, they will have to come back and say his firing was justified, or they will have to act on the trigger happy cops. Even if they do learn the truth, it is too later for there to be any sort of positive outcome.
I would like to think it is an isolated case, but the police culture of lies and cover ups is endemic and can be found in every police department.
