Christopher Dorner deserved better

i know people will not like to hear this, but i feel Christopher Dorner was treated unfairly and the LAPD should take a look at themselves about this matter...even if it means they are vilified for once in their entire history. and before you get the wrong idea, i am NOT NOT NOT supporting killing or killers. it's just...i take my name seriously, too, because sometimes it's all we have.
