19:24Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - A manhunt is continuing in California for Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer accused of shooting three people dead. In his online manifesto, Dorner threatened to wage "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" against a police department he accused of racism and corruption. He was fired from the police department in 2008 after being accused of falsely claiming his training officer kicked a mentally ill suspect in the course of an arrest. On Friday, the LAPD announced it would re-open its investigation of Dorner's firing and his claims. We're joined by journalist and activist Davey D, who says notwithstanding the allegations of murder, Dorner's manifesto "has opened up old wounds or reaffirmed what people have long suspected or have experienced in terms of [police] brutality. ... I am curious as to whether or not these allegations that he has raised -- where he names dates, times, places and names -- whether or not they actually check out. I think that needs to be really investigated, above and beyond the immediate scenario, which led to his firing."
