Straight out of Hollywood
02-08-2013, 04:43 AM
A serial killer is targeting the LAPD and their families. The kicker. They trained him. He knows their modus operandi. He used to be one of them. I would had thought it was plot straight out of Hollywood if it wasn't real.

I suspect the movie will omit the part where trigger-happy cops shoot random people driving pickup trucks that looks sort of like the killer's.

That depends on whether the movie makes him out as a villain or an antihero. If it's the latter, then the cops have to be eeeeeeeevul in some way, and "shoot random people driving pickup trucks that looks sort of like the killer's" qualifies.
(No I don't think much of Hollywood. Why do you ask?)

Given the report I heard recently about this guy getting fan clubs and various other glorification, it's starting to sound like this movie.

Since nobody else has mentioned it---this has apparently ended with the cops surrounding him in a cabin and burning him to death. They haven't announced exactly who the "charred body" they recovered was, so it's not impossible that they might have killed some random bystander thinking it was him, but Dorner doesn't seem to have been smart enough to arrange something like that.

I do enjoy how the LAPD is very loudly proclaiming that they didn't intentionally burn him to death, really they didn't. Even with recent improvements in their community relations, they still have such a horrific reputation that to many people it would not be inconceivable that they might have deliberately killed him in as horrific a fashion as possible, just to keep him from coming to trial -- and LAPD knows it.
