(PP)- As an ex-Los Angeles police officer killed three people and went on a deadly shooting rampage in a vendetta to punish those he attributed for his firing, California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer pleaded for calm, and asked both law enforcement and civilians to lay down their weapons.

An intense manhunt for Christopher Dorner that aroused fear across several states and Mexico focused late Thursday on Big Bear Lake, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles, where police found a burned-out pickup truck that belonged to the ex-military and former police officer Dorner.

Throughout the day, Senators Feinstein and Boxer made desperate pleas for their California constituents to turn in their guns and not confront the crazed gunman because this would be a perfect test of their anti-gun proposals."

So it is colored somewhat by the situation, still kind of off, but the context does matter!
Why would the people be in danger when this Dorner has targeted uniformed PD?

Feinstein and Boxer are lacking the basic sense of what the 'little people' are about and keep getting elected because people 'know' who they are.

I guess the two women in that truck the cops fired up should have been more careful and confronted the police in such a careless and reckless manner.....

IF anything that goes to the problem of hiring trigger happy people to the police force.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
