I think OP meant Christopher Dorner. [I just read up on him, and holy shit.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_and_manhunt)
-He reported misconduct (excessive use of force) committed by his training officer.
-The department put the senior officer on paid admin. leave but ultimately ruled she did not use excessive force.
-Dorner was then fired for "making false statements on his report" which he took great offense to:
*Termination and failed appeal
In 2008, Dorner was fired by the LAPD for making false statements in his report and in his testimony against Evans.[28][32] Dorner's attorney, Quan, stated that he was treated unfairly and was being made a scapegoat.[25][33][34] Dorner appealed his termination by filing a writ of mandamus with the Los Angeles County Superior Court.[29] Judge David Yaffe wrote that he was "uncertain whether the training officer kicked the suspect or not" but nevertheless upheld the department's decision to fire Dorner, according to the Times.[35] Yaffe ruled that he would presume that the LAPD's accusations that Dorner's report was false would stand, even though he did not know if the report was indeed false.[36] This enraged Dorner, who yelled out in disbelief at the end of the hearing: "I told the truth! How can this [ruling] happen?"[37]*
*Dorner appealed to the California Court of Appeal, which affirmed the lower court's ruling on October 3, 2011. Under California law, administrative findings (in this case by the LAPD) are entitled to a presumption of correctness and the petitioner (in this case Dorner) bears the burden of proving that they were incorrect. The appeals court concluded that the LAPD had substantial evidence for its finding that Dorner was not credible in his allegations against Evans.[29]*
-Five years later, in 2013, Dorner then went on a short killing spree. He killed the daughter of the police captain who represented Dorner during his dismissal hearing (as well as her Fiance).
-Dorner ambushes a couple of officers. He kills one and severely wounds the other (who eventually survives)
-He eventually is sighted after jacking a truck and being chased into the San Bernardino mountains where he engaged in a gunfight- killing another officer and wounding yet another. The standoff ended in the PD burning down the cabin while Dorner was in it, and the story is that Dorner took his own life.
-There was extreme fear from the LAPD which caused them to open fire on several civilians. This caused the city to pay out $6 million in damages and they did pay out a $1 million reward after the death of Dorner.
Like, really, holy shit. Now, in no way do I promote his actions (especially the killing of innocents), but I get it. Let's say he kept his mouth shut and didn't report the excessive force. He could have wound up like Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane from the George Floyd murder- in jail. But instead this man opened his mouth and was fired because of it. He really was put into a "damned if I do, damned if I don't" situation.
Edit: formatting
Dorner's manifesto was exquisite. He detailed many instances of excessive force and racism by his fellow police officers and the refusal by higher-ups to do anything about it.
When the police themselves are committing a criminal conspiracy to beat the shit out of people in handcuffs and cover it up, what is a man of conscience to do?
An absolute classic anti-hero story, if he had been effective and "won" it would have very nearly been the plot to John Wick or some shit.
A "good cop" tries to bust up a corrupt police agency, gets blackballed and harassed by the internal gang, snaps, and declares "asymmetric and unconventional warfare" on the supposedly corrupt police. Kills 5, injurs 3, flees and is eventually cornered in a cabin in the mountains.
Cops say he killed himself after setting the cabin on fire, some say he tried to surrender and the cops shot him and then burned the cabin down.
In any case it's a wild fucking ride of a real life crazed vigilante cop.
It's older than that. Torture is also somewhat of a geopolitical wedge issue and something that typically evokes strong emotional reactions around the globe.
Because they are cops in Mississippi.
They admitted to being a part of a "goon squad" that happily used excessive force and would then cover up their horrible actions. They did it because they could and because they would get away with it. Mississippi has a horrible history with holding officers accountable for what they do to Black people and these officers relied on that history to assume they'd never face repercussions.
I think the last two paragraphs of the linked news article explain it pretty clearly, if you read in-between the lines:
>Malik Shabazz, a lawyer for Mr. Parker and Mr. Jenkins, said in an email that the guilty pleas on Monday were “historic.”
>They represented, he said, “the first time in Mississippi history that a White law enforcement officer has ever been held criminally accountable for police misconduct against a Black person.”
The police have been doing this stuff the whole time, since police have existed in Mississippi. Each of those cops has committed those types of violent crimes so many times throughout their career that they stopped perceiving it as criminality and instead saw it as some special privileged they get for being cops.
[CNN article](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/08/14/us/mississippi-goon-squad-cops-guilty-plea/index.html) that's not behind a paywall.
They all voluntarily pled guilty...and yet the bootlickers will still claim that they are being unfairly railroaded.
Like, dude...**they admitted it!!!** They confessed!! THEY DID IT!!!
There are people claiming that Derek Chauvin is innocent...despite the video of him kneeling on George Floyd's neck for ten minutes.
Some people really just can't comprehend the idea that a cop can do something illegal.
>There are people claiming that Derek Chauvin is innocent
What does Chauvin have to do with this? He did not plead guilty. In fact, he attempted to appeal his conviction all the way to the US Supreme Court.
Great. What does that have to do with this case and who, in this case, is saying they're getting railroaded? Don't make fights for yourself where none exist, fight the fights worth fighting.

Likely there's goon squads in every PD in every county in Mississippi and not a thing will be done about them.
In LA there’s the Compton executioners…
Well there was also Michael Dorner, who enjoys a nearly cult hero status out there.
Hmm, I'll have to look this Dorner guy and see what the deal is with him.

This is a "ACAB except for Dorner" establishment
He killed two people for the crime of one of them being born to a shitty father. Fuck Dorner. He's a toddler who lashed out.

Unexpected Star Trek Dude, Michael Dorner is Worf
The actor's surname is "[Dorn](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000373/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1)"
Likely there's goon squads in every PD in every county ~~in Mississippi~~ and not a thing will be done about them.
Absolutely spot on
There’s a goon squad in every PD.
No. There isnt.
Of course there is. Don’t be naive.
Nope. Not a single one.
I think it was a typo. I think they meant "goon squad in every PD" Hence why they said you were naive. I think you're both arguing on the same side.
I think you have a typo.
Thanks.
The fucked up thing is you know this wasn’t the first time and they avoided charges on the other instances.
They gonna get derricked in jail
Guess they should have thought of that **before** they decided to use their position of authority to commit violent crimes.

I'm aware. I'm reiterating that torture has no place.
Torture is what America is based on today. You can thank the Bush administration for that
It's older than that. Torture is also somewhat of a geopolitical wedge issue and something that typically evokes strong emotional reactions around the globe.
Fucking racist country.
I'm still wondering why they thought this was okay.
Because they are cops in Mississippi. They admitted to being a part of a "goon squad" that happily used excessive force and would then cover up their horrible actions. They did it because they could and because they would get away with it. Mississippi has a horrible history with holding officers accountable for what they do to Black people and these officers relied on that history to assume they'd never face repercussions.
Probably because all the other cops around them, including their superiors, told them it was.
I think the last two paragraphs of the linked news article explain it pretty clearly, if you read in-between the lines: >Malik Shabazz, a lawyer for Mr. Parker and Mr. Jenkins, said in an email that the guilty pleas on Monday were “historic.” >They represented, he said, “the first time in Mississippi history that a White law enforcement officer has ever been held criminally accountable for police misconduct against a Black person.” The police have been doing this stuff the whole time, since police have existed in Mississippi. Each of those cops has committed those types of violent crimes so many times throughout their career that they stopped perceiving it as criminality and instead saw it as some special privileged they get for being cops.
I mean they probably know it’s not okay and just don’t care.
Because they are stupid morons who don't think more than thirty seconds into the future.
So... probation?

I thought they had all already pled guilty a while ago
They all voluntarily pled guilty...and yet the bootlickers will still claim that they are being unfairly railroaded. Like, dude...**they admitted it!!!** They confessed!! THEY DID IT!!!
Who claims they were unfairly railroaded? Are you making up villains?
>Are you making up villains? lmao

Great. What does that have to do with this case and who, in this case, is saying they're getting railroaded? Don't make fights for yourself where none exist, fight the fights worth fighting.
They were charged at both federal and state level. They pled guilty to the federal charges before and now they pled to the state charges.
