If he had stuck strictly to cops, we'd be all good, but one of the first people he murdered wasn't one.

Going after the families of bad people when they really didn't play any role in the bad person's actions is abhorrent and indefensible. Kids shouldn't have to pay for the sins of the father and all that.

It doesn't completely invalidate the good he did do/say, but it's definitely a black mark on his record and why I can't really get fully behind him, even for meme reasons.

I've brought him up before, but I think Micah Xavier Johnson is overall a better example. Apparently he was a sexual harasser when he was in the military, which is obviously terrible, but at least you can say when he went on his spree that he didn't go for any non-cops.

    No, she was the daughter of the lawyer, Randal Quan (Also a former police captain), who represented Dorner during his dismissal in 2008.

    She was just a basketball coach.

        I'm guessing you based that off the Wikipedia article, right?

        Cuz it's understandable, that sentence is very poorly worded and makes it sound like she was the lawyer when she wasn't.
