The problem with the police is they have no oversight and no accountability. The police know they can do anything they want and get away with it. They have an extreme level of arrogance most politicians could only dream of. The type of person that joins a police force, to begin with, must be a person of the most vile ill repute, of no conscious, an autonomous drone, a parasite. They have no moral compass, they are just bullies. The only thing men of violence respect is violence. You can't tell these kind of people "stop it." They're psychopaths. They don't care. The only thing they understand is violence and fear of death. When they recognized they could no longer abuse their authority with impunity, that not only their own lives, but their families lives are in jeopardy, then they finally got a taste of what it's like to be the rest of us. No police force has the moral authority to judge this man or anyone else. Dorner only did to them what they have to so many of us.

Dorner was at war. In war, you not only go after your enemy, you go after their supply lines, their support structures, and anything and anyone who aids that enemy, both in terms of physical, tangible fighting capability and in terms of morale and psychological strength.

It is unfortunate innocent people have to die, but the war fighters would argue the ends justifies the means. It's the same thing as our military bombing factories full of civilian workers, or shooting up carloads of families at checkpoints, or nuking 2 large cities because those civilians were engaged in the act of supporting the enemy's war effort. These are the dirty, messy strategies of war that our own government engages in. The same government that trained Dorner to do what he did.

Nice reddit stalking, BTW. Believe it or not, I have the ability to go a few minutes without checking my messages. In fact, I sometimes go days without checking them because I really don't give a shit.
