With the death of Christopher Dorner, many are torn on their opinions of the man and his vendetta against the LAPD.
The former LAPD officer, who was accused of murdering a fellow police officer and attempted murder three others, was cornered in a rural area northeast of Angelus Oaks where the nationwide manhunt came to an end on Feb. 12.
What started as an exchange of gunfire between Dorner and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, ended in a blaze of fire.
According to sources, the cabin Dorner had taken cover in caught fire during the shootout, which was a result of tear gas that was shot into the cabin by the SBSO.
Some think that he is rightfully dead for the murder of police, while others think that the LAPD’s actions are deplorable.
“He was a sick man,” said Michele Rene. “I’m glad the police got him.”
Mike Johnson agrees that the police should have got him but adds, “I don’t think he should have been burned alive in some cabin.”
But not all opinions agree.
“I don’t agree with his methods, but look at the actions of the police,” said Logan Brown.
“They shot two cars in a panic. If the police are shooting innocents, something is seriously wrong.”
Some even think he might still be alive.
“He was fighting corruption,” said Judy Hernandez, who thought that he might still be alive.
“If Dorner is right and the LAPD is corrupt, what’s to stop them from faking his death?”
While most pick a side, some look at both Dorner and the LAPD as reprehensible.
“What he did was wrong,” said Matt Morrow.
“But the actions of the LAPD are just as wrong.
“It’s sad that society is at this place today.”

He didn’t die in the cabin.
