**UPDATE (Denotes NEW information added to blog after original blog)

***This blog is submitted and contributed as part of the War on Racial Discrimination (WRD) in California; and it is dedicated especially to Christopher Dorner, the first leader of the WRD. It is also dedicated to Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant,*and Miriam Carey.

****This re-publication is specifically in response to a series of articles published last week by the Los Angeles Times about Christopher Dorner with the base title called "The Manhunt", beginning on December 8, 2013.



Christopher Dorner died attempting to "clear his name". Clearing his name meant proving that he told the truth when he reported and charged that Officer Teresa Evans of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) kicked arrestee Christopher Gettler during the arrest of Gettler made by Dorner and Evans on or about July 28, 2007.

*Chris Dorner was Black and Teresa Evans was(is) Caucasian or white. While the issue of race was not pertinent to the proving or disproving of whether Evans kicked Gettler or not, it was significant regarding the firing of Dorner by the LAPD and the covering up of information pointing to the kicking of Gettler by Evans, and the accusation of Dorner lying about the kicking. Dorner was fired because he was a Black male (and a Black male accusing a white female supervisor of misconduct), and Teresa Evans was(is) a white female (who the LAPD tried to protect from liability for the kicking of a mentally ill man while conducting an arrest--and part of that protection was to charge Chris Dorner with making a false statement against Evans, and thereafter, firing Chris Dorner for purportedly making that false statement, thereby shielding Evans and the LAPD from any potential liability and/or exposure of their misconduct to the public). This was one of the most purest forms of white racism, that is, castigating (and firing) a Black man for taking action against a white woman (reporting a white woman supervisor for kicking a mentally ill man). This was the same type of white racism that was exercised against Emmett Till (who was murdered instead of fired--but, there is also a serious question as to whether Chris Dorner was murdered at the end of his standoff) for whistling at a white woman in Mississippi.

Chris Dorner's name has now been cleared. Dorner now has his name back. The significant evidence proves that he did not make a false statement or submit a false report when he reported that Evans kicked Gettler during the arrest of Gettler made by Dorner and Evans. The evidence proves that Evans kicked Gettler, like Dorner said. Therefore, Dorner told the truth, *and he should not have been fired.

"Clearing his name" was important to Dorner because one's "name" to Dorner was more than just a name. "A name is more than just a noun, verb, or adjective. It's your life, your legacy, your journey, sacrifices, and everything you've worked hard for every day of your life as and (sic) adolescent, young adult and adult. Don't let anybody tarnish it when you know you've live up to your own set of ethics and personal ethos." Dorner's Manifesto.

Part of Dorner's "name" was his "law enforcement career that began on 2/7/05 and ended on 1/2/09." Id., and his "Naval career which started on 4/02 and end(ed) on 2/13." Id. He also "had a TS/SCI clearance (Top Secret Sensitive Compartmentalized Information clearance) up until shortly after (his) termination with LAPD. This is the highest clearance a service member can attain other than a Yankee White TS/SCI which is only granted for those working with and around the President/Vice President of the United States," Id., and "a position as a Commanding Officer of a Naval Security Forces reserve unit at NAS Fallon". Id. Finally, his name was "a relationship with (his) mother and sister" and "a relationship with close friends". Id. "I lived a good life and though not a religious man (,) I always stuck to my own personal code of ethics, ethos and always stuck to my shoreline and true North. I didn't need the US Navy to instill Honor, courage, and Commitment in me but I thank them for re-enforcing it. It's my DNA." Id. "I stood up for what was right but unfortunately have dealt with the reprocussions (sic) of doing the right thing and now losing my name and everything I ever stood for." Id.

The LAPD took Dorner's name when it unjustly fired Dorner, knowing that Evans had kicked Gettler and knowing that Dorner was telling the truth when he reported that she had done so. I have already more specifically pointed out why the evidence clearly supports the fact that Evans kicked Gettler in my blog responding to the Dorner Report, entitled, "Christopher Dorner: The Dorner Report is Absolute Rubbish. . . ." I refer my readers here to that blog for a more detailed account of why the evidence (some of which came from the Dorner Report) proved that Evans kicked Gettler, and that Dorner told the truth when he stated that she did.

However, my conclusion that Dorner told the truth about Evans kicking Gettler, which means that Dorner did not make a false statement in stating so, was reached based on the combination of Dorner's Manifesto, the LAPD's Dorner Report, the L.A. Police Commission's Office of Inspector General's (OIG) Report, and in an indirect way, Connie Rice's L.A. Times article, see the Dorner Report blog.

The most significant evidence demonstrating that Evans kicked Gettler and that Dorner told the truth about her doing so, was the testimony of Gettler himself through a videotape and live testimony before the Board of Rights(BOR), and the testimony of Gettler's father confirming not only that Gettler said he had been kicked, but also testifying that he observed physical evidence on Gettler's face which supported a kicking. There is other evidence as well, but this is the strongest first hand evidence, which is not changed by any issues of credibility of the witnesses.

*The videotape evidence of Christopher Gettler testifying or stating that he was kicked by Evans is downplayed by the LAPD in the Dorner Report, to the extent that the LAPD attempted to minimize its destructive force by claiming that on other occasions, Gettler was incoherent and confusing, and therefore, that incoherency should be transferred to the videotape statement; in addition to other reasons it offered. However, Chris Dorner was so confident that the videotape clearly revealed Gettler stating that Evans kicked him, that he (Dorner) sent the videotape out to several major media outlets, probably hoping that the media would jump on the videotape and broadcast it the way that they broadcasted the Rodney King video. But, it didn't happen. Dorner Stated, "During this BOR hearing a video was played for the BOR panel where Christopher Gettler stated that he was indeed kicked by Officer Evans (video sent to multiple news agencies)". Dorner went on, "I ask that all journalist investigating this story submit request for FOIA with the LAPD to gain access to the BOR transcripts which occurred from 10/08 to 2/09. There, you will see that a video was played for the BOR members of Mr. Christopher Gettler who suffers from Schizophrenia and Dementia stating that he was kicked by a female officer. That video evidence supports my claim that Evans kicked him twice in the upper body and once in the face." So, why didn't the media play the tape? It certainly would have been newsworthy, especially in view of the fact that it was a Black officer that was being fired for lying about the misconduct of a white officer. Could it be that the tape was not played because the object of the accusation by the Black male officer was a single (or one) white female supervisory officer (as opposed to multiple white male officers, as in the Rodney King case)? I think so. I believe the tape was newsworthy, although not nearly as newsworthy as the Rodney King tape (because of the seriousness of the beating by multiple officers), and ordinarily would have been broadcast by the media but for the fact that the subject of the misconduct was a white female (that the LAPD and the media sought to protect from exposure and liability). So, Dorner was the sacrificial lamb, by the LAPD, in terms of his being fired (purportedly for making a false statement about Evans' misconduct) rather than Evans being fired for the misconduct itself(kicking Gettler), because she was a white female).

*The bottomline is: If Capt. Beck and the LAPD really want to display its integrity and honesty to the Los Angeles community, especially the Black community, and demonstrate that they want to get at the truth and justification about the firing of Chris Dorner,

CAPTAIN BECK AND THE L.A. NEWS MEDIA, PUBLICLY PLAY THE GETTLER VIDEO, SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN DETERMINE FOR ITSELF, THE MERIT OF THE VIDEO.

*The second bottomline is :

Teresa Evans kicked Christopher Gettler during the arrest of Gettler by Evans and Chris Dorner. Apparently, Evans denied kicking Gettler, even at the BOR hearing, from my understanding, "What you did was perjury, exactly what Evans did when she stated she did not kick Christopher Gettler," Dorner's Manifesto. There is no dispute that Evans denied kicking Gettler, "The training officer agreed that she fully entered the planter to assist Dorner, but insisted that no such kicks occurred." Police Commission's OIG Report. Also, there is no question that Evans testified at the BOR hearing, "The training officer (Evans) testified. . . that she told no other person of her intent to adversely rate Dorner", and "The training officer was never questioned during the Board of Rights about the potential disparity between her initial statement during the complaint investigation and her later testimony during the hearing." Id. Therefore, the only question is whether she denied kicking Gettler under oath, at the hearing. (Admittedly, I have not reviewed the BOR transcripts --but, the U.S. Attorney should). If so, that would be perjury, as suggested by Dorner. I'll discuss this further, infra. So, for the combination of the events covering up the fact that Evans kicked Gettler, and for Evans allowing Dorner to be fired knowing that Dorner was telling the truth, but, mostly for the fact that Evans actually kicked Gettler during the arrest :

THE LAPD SHOULD FIRE TERESA EVANS

*Moreover, as alluded to above, if Evans committed perjury during the BOR hearing, she should be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office, not only for perjury, but for conspiracy (with others) to have Dorner fired to cover-up for her misconduct. But, I don't expect much from our so-called "Black" U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles with respect to the protection of civil rights of Black males (i.e., see the Oscar Grant murder). As I have stated before, the Justice Department has generally shown a blatant neglect of Black males and their rights. And, in my opinion, Obama's Justice Department, generally, is "for white people only"; notwithstanding the Justice Department's pursuance of sheriff deputies' discriminatory actions in Lancaster/ Palmdale with respect to Section 8 participants.


So, Chris Dorner cannot get his life back, and I cannot help him with that, but, he can get his name back, and, he has done so. I tried to help.

Chris Dorner, from my knowledge and information, was a good and decent man (and he proved that by not killing several white people whom he had an opportunity to kill during his killing spree, while realizing that he would likely be killed himself), who the LAPD drove to do bad acts by unjustly and unjustifiably firing him when they knew that he was telling the truth, and when they knew that Teresa Evans actually and truthfully kicked Christopher Gettler (and I hold the LAPD responsible for all the deaths caused by Dorner). Dorner, because he was a good and decent man, came to the aid of Gettler, who, based on information, knowledge, and belief, was mentally ill. And for his decency, courage (by speaking up, knowing that he might be chastised or criticized in some way--but, he certainly never expected that he would be fired),and strength, in sticking up for a mentally ill man, he ultimately paid the ultimate price, his life.

Rest in peace, Chris, you are once again, the real Christopher Dorner, who helped the helpless.

UPDATE--December 9, 2013

Yesterday, the L.A. Times published an article, which will be the beginning of a series of articles, about the Chris Dorner saga, "The manhunt: A double killing, a vengeful plan, a wave of fear", December 8, 2013. In the article, the writer attempts to paint a picture of Teresa Evans as an innocent participant in the scenario that was the basis of Dorner ultimately taking the actions that he took.

Teresa Evans was and is no innocent participant, and in fact was the perpetrator of the action that caused the entire Dorner ordeal. She lied when she denied kicking Christopher Gettler, and she allowed the LAPD to throw Dorner under the bus instead of her admitting to her actions. Because of racism and racial discrimination, Evans , as a white woman, was allowed to "walk", while Dorner, as a Black man, eventually lost his job and his life. As I stated above, EVANS SHOULD BE FIRED. Evans is and remains a symbol of racial discrimination against black people by the LAPD.

**UPDATE--December 18, 2013

According to the above-mentioned L.A. Times' series of articles called "The Manhunt", Teresa Evans has not returned to the LAPD since the death of Christopher Dorner. If that is the case, it would make my call for her to be fired misplaced. However, my above statement, "Evans is and remains a symbol of racial discrimination against black people by the LAPD" remains in tact.

Further, even after the "Manhunt" articles, other than the information in this Update, nothing changes in this main blog. That is, notwithstanding the "Manhunt" articles, Chris Dorner's name has been cleared.
