I get that they guy is gone off the deep end and has done bad things but drone strikes on American citizens on American soil? No trial or due process? Am I the only one seeing a problem with this?
Are they just tracking him with a drone or are they actually planning on a missle strike if they find him?
The article said that border patrol had confirmed the use of a drone in the case of Dorner. Not sure if that means to find him or kill him or what the hell that means. I know that I have seen his labeled a terrorist and in last week's article from msnbc it was said that terrorists(american citizens) were legal targets as long as they are a threat so I guess taking him out with it is optional. Not sure. The MSN article was short, when I opened my internet explorer it was there. I don't think it's very ok one way or the other personally.
This isn't true. I haven't seen him labeled a terrorist and if they are tracking him with a drone that is a surveillance tool not a bombing tool
As for targeting American citizens, that has been employed only for Americans that are living in the Middle East and involved in the war
Not a nut cop

Christopher Dorner: The First US Homeland Drone Strike Victim?
Right then, I haven't been following this story greatly since it
broke on the news the other day but I've gathered enough key basic
information to make this article, the basics are very simple on paper,
almost hollywood simple because it plays out like something out of a
revenge-action movie script.
The man in the picture above is Christopher Dorner, a former
LAPD policeman with military training and who is quite obviously, a
black man. He was fired from the LAPD in 2008 following a dispute with a
fellow officer. During the early hours of Thursday morning this week he
opened fire on police, injuring two and killing one, he is also
suspected of killing two civilians who are related to one of his former
co-workers.
Dorner uploaded a manifesto to the internet before his attacks
and I will link you to the manifesto at the bottom of this article. Now
then, the manifesto was 11 pages long so I'm not going to spend an hour
telling you every little detail but the key details are that he was
accused of bullying and harassing a fellow police officer of the
LAPD who was Jewish, he also admitted he attacked a fellow officer when
he heard a racial slur while on duty. He was then suspended indefinitely
from the force following the incident, while other officers involved in
the drama were suspended for shorter periods.
He vows to wage 'asymmetrical and unconventional warfare' against the LAPD for his 'unfair dismissal' . According to officials he is currently armed with an assualt rifle, a sniper rifle and a manpad rocket launcher (LAW).
As of now his current whereabouts are unknown though he is thought to be in the Big Bear Lake Ski Resort area in Eastern California, his truck was found in flames near that area.
Alright then. That's the basics and you should be completely
up-to-date with everything thus far, now on to the conspiracy you've all
been waiting for!
Thanks for the article. The one I read was way shorter and explained the situation less but it gets to the same point.

A $1 million reward was offered today for information leading to the arrest of Christopher Dorner, as authorities in Big Bear, Calif., scaled back their search for the disgruntled ex-cop, who is suspected in three revenge killings.
"This is the largest local reward ever offered, to our knowledge," Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference today. "This is an act of domestic terrorism. This is a man who has targeted those that we entrust to protect the public. His actions cannot go unanswered."
The money for the reward was pooled by businesses, government, local law enforcement leaders and individual donors, Beck said.

The reward comes on the fourth day of a manhunt for Dorner, who has left Southern California on edge after he allegedly went on a killing spree last week to avenge his firing from the police force. Dorner outlined his grievances in a 6,000 word so-called "manifesto" and said he will keep killing until the truth is known about his case.
Dorner's threats have prompted the LAPD to provide more than 50 law enforcement families with security and surveillance detail, Beck said.
Authorities are chasing leads, however they declined to say where in order to not impede the investigation.
Dorner's burned-out truck was found Thursday near Big Bear Lake, a popular skiing destination located 80 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
Investigators found two AR-15 assault rifles in the burned-out truck Dorner abandoned, sources told ABC News.
The truck had a broken axle, which may be the reason he decided to set fire to it, the police sources said.

Officers have spent the past couple of days going door-to-door and searching vacant cabins. The manhunt was scaled back to 25 officers and one helicopter in the resort town today, according to the San Bernadino Sheriff's Office.
On Saturday, Beck announced he would reopen the investigation into Dorner's firing but said the decision was not made to "appease" the fugitive ex-cop.
"I feel we need to also publicly address Dorner's allegations regarding his termination of employment, and to do so I have directed our Professionals Standards Bureau and my Special Assistant for Constitutional Policing to completely review the Dorner complaint of 2007; To include a re-examination of all evidence and a re-interview of witnesses," Beck said. "We will also investigate any allegations made in his manifesto which were not included in his original complaint."
Dorner is suspected of killing Monica Quan and her fiancé Keith Lawrence last Sunday in their car in the parking lot of their Irvine, Calif., condominium complex. Both were struck with multiple gunshot wounds.
Quan's father, Randall Quan, was a retired captain with the LAPD and attorney who represented Dorner before a police review board that led to Dorner's dismissal from the force in 2008.
On Wednesday, after Dorner was identified as a suspect in the double murder, police believe he ambushed two Riverside police officers, killing one and wounding the other.
The next day, Randall Quan reported he received a taunting call from a man claiming to be Dorner who told him that he "should have done a better job of protecting his daughter," according to court documents documents.
Anyone with information leading to the arrest of Christopher Dorner is asked to call the LAPD task force at 213-486-6860.
