Other shows of support for Dorner include a ballad titled El Matapolicias, or The Police Killer, penned by a Mexican crooner with lyrics paying homage to Dorner, and a YouTube clip showing excerpts from a video game titled Christopher Dorner’s Last Stand Survival Game whose opening frame declares him “A True American Hero.”
Protesters said they believed Christopher Dorner’s claims of racism and unfair treatment by the Los Angeles Police Department.
The former Los Angeles police officer accused of a revenge killing spree before perishing in a cabin fire as authorities closed in is drawing a small but increasingly vocal band of support via protests and social media.
Christopher Dorner, 33, was kicked off the force in 2009. A rambling Facebook manifesto attributed to him blasted the department for protecting racists and promised revenge against those he believed were to blame for his dismissal.
Dozens of protesters rallied outside LAPD headquarters Saturday in support of Dorner, most saying they didn’t support his deadly methods but did believe Dorner’s claims of racism and unfair treatment.
Protester Andrea Tovar, 18, told the Los Angeles Times that police need to know “they can’t get away with everything.”
“Murder is never right, but neither is the law when it’s unjust,” Tovar said.
Dorner also has some support in social media. The “We Stand With Christopher Dorner” Facebook page had drawn more than 27,000 “likes,” and the “I Support Christopher Jordan Dorner” page has more than 16,000. Some backers have also appeared on Twitter.
