Chris Dorner's Legacy?

I've never been in the LAPD nor lived in LA but honestly I wouldn't doubt it.

*edit - doubt that the LAPD has racism problems

My opinion is that Chris Dorner won't have a legacy. Two years from now people would not know who Chris Dorner is. That's because he died too quickly. If he had lived on for a year, maybe he would have a legacy.

But what he said about the LAPD is probably true to an extent. The white guys probably don't think of themselves as racists, but they're probably more guarded and suspicious around black neighborhoods than they are around white neighborhood because they stand out and are probably not liked. This is going to make their behavior seem more racist even to a black officer. As the years go by these negative feeling feeds on each other to the point where it may be less mentally taxing to just hang out with officers of your skin color, which then makes you seem more racist.

If Chris Dorner was gay there would be more people in here talking about it.

You know what? I get the fact that there are more important problems than gay rights.

I also get that homosexuals are subject to systematic violence on a level that dwarves other minorities.

Making light of it isn't appropriate, nor is it relevant to this topic.

I think all the boot-licking following the Boston Bombing erased any national legacy the Donner may have had.
