From [HERE] The manhunt for Christopher Dorner led LAPD SWAT officers to a Northridge Lowe's home improvement store after people reported seeing someone who resembled the fugitive former police officer there. LAPD swarmed the store off Nordhoff Street about 5 p.m. Customers were escorted out of the store as police looked for any signs of Dorner. LAPD stressed that it was an unconfirmed sighting.
[Updated 7:27 p.m.: A law enforcement source said the call to the Lowe's might have been related to a couple fighting outside the store]. There have been several reports similar to this one in recent days that didn't pan out.
The search came several hours after the LAPD issued a tactical alert as it handled the Dorner manhunt as well as security for the Grammys. The LAPD did not detail its Grammy security arrangements, but the department regularly sends a large contingent of officers to awards shows. This year, the Grammys occurred on the fifth day of a manhunt for Dorner, who is suspected of killing an Irvine couple and a white Riverside police officer. (In photo, LL Cool J, who was a host).
The tactical alert came the same day that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced a $1-million reward for information leading to Dorner's capture. “We will not tolerate anyone undermining the security of this community,” Villaraigosa said at a news conference at LAPD headquarters downtown. “We will not tolerate this reign of terror.” (of course, he wasn't referring to LAPD terrororzing non-white people in their "community")
If you are Brown Skinned & Look Anything like Dorner Leave Southern, CA. Immediately. LAPD will Shoot to Kill. In the event that a white cop made such a mistaken identity and shot a non-white person, his fellow officers, the police chief, internal affairs, the union, the media, the prosecutors, the judge and the jury would most likely support, defend & finance the white officer's "right" to do so under the present "emergency" circumstances. Such is the nature of White collective power in a white supremacy system. [MORE]
The Dorner situation is an "emergency" because a Black police officer killed a white cop and unarmed white people. In the history of modern law enforcement this has never happened before. In fact, in the history of modern law enforcement there has never been a single instance of a Black police officer shooting or killing an unarmed white person. [MORE]

In photo, Torrence Police say they saw a driver in a black Honda (they all look the same) pickup truck driving on Flagler Lane near Beryl Street. Dorner was allegedly driving blue Nissan Titan. Officers, suspecting it was Dorner, purposely collided with the truck and shot at the Dorner clone. The driver was a baggage handler at LAX heading to the beach to go surfing, The Times reported. Avoiding bullets that had ripped through his windshield, David Perdue, a white man. was not shot but suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury in the crash and has not been to work since. His black 2006 Honda pickup truck was totaled.
"I don't want to use the word 'buffoonery,' but it really is unbridled police lawlessness," Perdue's attorney, Robert Sheahen, told The Times. "These people need training and they need restraint."
In a news conference near the scene of the shooting hours after it took place, Torrance police falsely said Perdue was not injured in the incident. [MORE]
