Police Commission To Review LAPD's Report Stating Dorner's Termination Was Justified

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The city Police Commission Tuesday will review the results of a Los Angeles Police Department report that found the 2009 termination of Christopher Dorner was justified.

The department's internal review released Friday concluded that the discharge of Dorner, who authorities say killed four people and wounded three others in a shooting rampage before turning the gun on himself in February, "was not only appropriate, it was the only course the Department could have taken based on the facts and evidence," according to the report.

The Los Angeles Police Commission's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) concurred with the department's conclusions in a separate report released Friday.

Dorner was hired by the LAPD in February 2005.

In a rambling online manifesto, the 33-year-old alleged that the department was a racist organization that ruined his life.

He also claimed that he was wrongly terminated for making accusations against a training officer that included an allegation that the officer kicked a suspect on July 28, 2007. The report said Dorner brought forth allegations of the kicking 13 days after the suspect's arrest.

"After a thorough review of all the available information, my analysis concludes that the discharge of Christopher Dorner was justified," LAPD Special Assistant Gerald Chaleff said in a statement. "His discharge was based on his own actions. The allegations he made against his training officer appeared to have been made in an effort to forward his own agenda."

The Associated Press initially reported the findings of the report in early June.
