. Dorner had reached the Navy rank of lieutenant (equivalent to an Army captain) and was assigned to supervise Mobile Inshore Underwater Warfare Unit 105, which used boats and shore weapons to protect harbors.
Knowing what we know now? No. He wasn't fit to be a policeman. Dude's manifesto says he knows killing the families is wrong and he doesn't give a damn.

Thanks for the comment
So are we rooting for the little guy to stand up to the police?
I think its both the incredible nature of the story (guns, revenge, manifestos etc)
and what you stated, that people are conflicted and want this guy to send a message (or on the other hand, fear that this guy will send the wrong message)

The fact he left his survival gear behind may be telling
Wouldn't surprise me if he's already dead or injured, not saying he is, just saying I wouldn't be surprised. He exchanged fire with the police the other night. He may have been wounded, ran to the mountains to hole up but his axle on the truck broke, then the snow storm hit for two days. His whole plan may have come unraveled in a few hours
People saying it may be a diversion, a diversion for what? Tying up a couple hundred officers in a search isn't going to do him any good. SOCal probably has a few thousand officers at the ready plus the ATF FBI and Marshalls service involved. It's not like he came close to tying up valuable resources, more just a minor annoyance
For all his planning seems like some pretty erratic moves accompanied by a couple unplanned glitches to overcome.

Re: Massive manhunt in L.A. For Christopher Dorner
I doubt he has any friends. Some of the folks he singled out in his manifesto as very dear to him haven't heard from him in years. He also seems estranged from his family.

Report: Ex-Cop Christopher Dorner Is Now a Target for Drones
Eric Limer
Christopher Dorner, the ex-LAPD cop who allegedly killed three people has been on the run, successfully evading police, for over a week. To finally track him down, it seems that law enforcement is pulling out all the stops. According to the Express, Dorner is now a target for drones, among the first ever on U.S. soil.
The Express quotes a "senior police source" as having said:
The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, a joint leader of the force tasked with finding Dorner, has confirmed

no friends at all.... everyone hated him

Long Beach police Sgt. Clint Grimes told The Daily News that he served in the Navy with Dorner. They weren't close friends, but he said Dorner was always smiling. Dorner talked about how proud he was initially to join the Los Angeles Police Department. In the Navy Dorner used high-tech sonar equipment to find small boats that could be a threat to naval vessels, and Grimes added: "They're not looking for a stupid guy, here."
His Southern Utah University buddy James Usera kept in touch with Dorner from time-to-time over the years. Usera gets a shout-out in Dorner's "manifesto" that ends with Dorner declaring, "I love you bro."
Usera in turn has had nothing but positive things to say about Dorner. He told The Daily News: "He was well-spoken, educated, rational. I didn't think he was moody or showed anything that would indicate he had mental health issues. My friendship with Mr. Dorner was extremely positive."
[quote]Brody Benson, another teammate, described him as intellectual and well-educated. He does remember that Dorner had always been willing to voice his opinion on racism

Re: Massive manhunt in L.A. For Christopher Dorner
wherever he's hiding, food will run out. it's not like he can walk into a store and buy some chicken wings.
and then there's mobility issue -- he can't just drive forever from one spot to another because he'd run out of gas, and he can't just pull up to a gas station.
he had a long time to plan all of this, so maybe he has these supplies stored somewhere, but eventually, they will run out.
i think he'll turn himself in when that happens.
*unless* some people are helping him.

Re: Massive manhunt in L.A. For Christopher Dorner
also, unlike the unabomber, everybody and their grandma already knows dorner's face and what he looks like.
before his capture, all the fbi had on the unabomber was a hooded dude with shades. that sketch was so stupid, it could had been 10 million dudes. the unabomber could had walked into a grocery store and bought a can of chunky soup if he wanted to and nobody would had noticed.
but dorner got no luxury in being a well-known fugitive. he can't show himself in a public place anywhere, but he'd need supplies to survive. at 270lbs, even a mountain of food supplies can disappear fast.
