Dorner lost his job with the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008. His manifesto vows revenge for that; and, surprisingly, thousands of people actually support him.

It’s hard to believe but there are those out there who sympathize with the man targeting police officers.

One Facebook page is proclaiming Dorner for president. “We propose electing a man who could no longer sit idly by and watch as malicious tyrants abuse the innocent.”

The description on “We Are All Chris Dorner” chillingly says, “Yes, this is war.”

Nearly 3,000 people like the page “I Support Christopher Jordan Dorner.”

CBS13 posted a simple question: Why? Why support a man wanted for at least three killings and the author of a murderous manifesto promising to target cops?

One sympathizer wrote us, “Because something needs to be done about the long known corruption of not only the LAPD, but several agencies.”

If a white man was doing this, the gun and person would be at fault. But in this case, racism is to blame.

Sadly, your statement is probably true.

But I have a different take.

What really "triggered" this killer's actions may have had more to do with the police union backing a lying "tenured" member rather than the truth being stated by a rookie cop. Possibly, this rookie cop crossed the "blue line" in reporting the law-breaking of another office, particularly a senior officer. IMO, had little to do with racism, and much more to do with how unions "have the backs" of their more senior members.

By no means am I condoning this killer's actions, as he has been much more "evil" and worse than the people he's accused of wrong-doing him, but I do believe he was telling the truth about his police supervisor, who turned the tables on him for maybe just being an honest cop reporting a dishonest one. At the end of the day, it's possible none of this would have happened had the truth simply been acted on by the police, rather than their protecting a lying senior officer by decimating the career of a rookie officer.
