you were mentioned in the manifesto.or introducing me to outdoor sports like fishing, hunting, mudding and also respect for the land and resources. you even introduced me to pbr, a beer, that when you're a poor college student, is completely acceptable to get buzzed off of. i'm sorry i'll never get to go on that moose and bear hunt with you. i love you, bro. what goes through your mind? >> my initial reaction is it's not entirely accurate. but you know, in spite of that, when i first read it, i have to confess i was somewhat flattered and i obviously made an affect on this person's life, and it seems that i'm a person whom he respects. but you know, going deeper and putting it in context of this manifesto when i have not read but i heard snippets of it, is shocking to say the least. you know, who wants to be lumped in to this kind of a fiasco, frankly, it really is beyond shocking. >> i know he called you out of the blue about four years agoto catch up, which was around the time he was let go from the lapd. what did he s

and the manifesto threatens that more will come. know your route to and from home and your division, he writes. i know your significant others routine, your children's best friends and recess. i assure you that the casualty rate will be high. dorner doesn't just stick to threats. the manifesto is also filled with bizarre rambling in everything from newscasters to gun control to entertainment. he says he's a fan of the hangover movies and even offers this opinion about michelle obama. off the record, i love your new bangs, mrs. obama, he writes. a woman whose professional and educational accomplishments are second to none when compared to recent first wives. throughout this manifesto, posted on his facebook page, dorner's tone is unwavering. he's on a crusade, he feels, to purge the lapd of corruption and he tries to portray himself as a person of morales. he writes, i'm not an aspiring rapper, a gang member. i'm not a deep dealer. i'm a man who has lost complete faith in the system when the system betrayed and slandered me. no one g

>>> tonight, a chilling murder manifesto. the threat to bring unconventional and asymmetrical war fare. the suspect, one of their own. >> of course, he knows what he's doing. we trained him. >> among the many people he flamed, will bratton, what he knows. >> i would have given him a coin like this. my understanding is cnn received a package that included a replica of that coin with three bullet holes. >> plus, guns, drones, and the state of the go prb. >> we would be talking about hearings before congress. we would have people talking about impeachment. >> and the snow storm takes direct aim at the northeast. we're tracking what could be a record-breaking blizzard. this is "piers morgan tonight." >>> good evening. we're tracking two ferocious storm systems barreling towards the east coast tonight. they're expecting to slam into each other in the next few hours. boston could see snowfall of 2 to 3 inches an hour. nearly 3,000 flights are canceled already as the airports batten down the hatches. weather forecast from chad myers

and we're learning what's inside the manifesto. trace gallagher is looking and is part of the story, what have you read? >> this is a 14-page manifesto and christopher dorner lays out his vendetta and weighs into everything, pop culture, and the theme clearing his name and saying, unfortunately, i will not be alive to see my name cleared. that's what this is about. my name, a man is nothing without his name. he then lashes out at the l.a. police department for ruining his name accusing the department of racism, of cueing murder cases to collect more overtime, of being worse now than during the rodney king era. in 2007 he accused a fellow officer of excessively kicking a suspect, the alleged victim testified on his behalf, but the police board found that dorner was guilty of lying and fired him. there's a news conference right now, and we'll get back to the manifesto in a minute now. as you all know, the l.a.p.d. is working coordination with law enforcement agencies throughout southern california in obtaining christopher jordan dorn

you know, in his manifesto, he wrote the u.s.ll the values of honor, courage, and commitment in me, but i thank them for sort of reemphasizing it in me. basically, he served in what was called a riverine unit. it's a small water, they work close to shore, ports, things like that, doing security. in fact, he deployed overseas to do security on an oil platform. so sort of different than what we think of as traditional navy. and right now, ncis, the naval criminal investigative service, is sharing a lot of that information with the local authorities there in l.a.. >> and chris, i'm curious, because back to this manifesto, this 11,000-word manifesto that he wrote, he wrote about his markenmanship and he said, i have always been the top shot, highest score, expert in rifle qualifications in every unit i have been in. i will utilize every bit of small arms training, demlishz, ordinance, and survival training i have been given. is he really the marksman he claims to be? >> well, he's no sniper, but he is pretty good. some of the navy so

the manifesto vows vengeance. i will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in lapd uniform whether on or off duty. >> if you read his manifesto, this is a very -- lapd is a specific target, but all law enforcement is targeted. >> reporter: it appears to be no idle threat. today the story played out with all the intensity of a hollywood action thriller. "l.a. confidential" meets "cape fear." >> talk to me, i'm staying here! >> reporter: except that this drama was real and deadly. at 10:00 last night, police say a man fitting dorner's description tried to steal a boat in san diego. >> he pointed a handgun at the victim, who was an 81-year-old male, and demanded the boat. >> reporter: he was unsuccessful. later, dorner's lapd badge was found nearby. 1:25 a.m., corona, an hour east of l.a., police officers acting on a tip exchanged gunfire with a man they believed to be dorner. the officer was grazed by the bullet, unable to pursue. 1:45, riverside, two more officers on a protective detail ambushed, o

in an online manifesto, dorner claims he was unjustly fired. he also accused the department of racism, corruption, and other abuses. in this message he threatened to wage and conventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in lapd uniform. on friday, the l.a. police chief charlie beck announced to reopen an investigation into dorner's firing. an lapd smith says it was about maintaining public trust in the police force. >> he is not opening it up because of the accusations or the musings of someone who is a multiple murderer now, but he wants to assure the public knows that the l.a. police department is fair and transparent. >> the manhunt for dorner began last week after he allegedly shot dead monica quan, the daughter of the former police captain who represented dorner during his disciplinary action as well as her fiancee. dorner is also accused of shooting several police officers, one of them fatally. police pursuing dorner as part of a multi agency hunt were involved in at least two separate shootings, injuring two people thursday after they

more on that friend, the suspect, and his facebook manifesto. it is detailed and mentions reporters and police officers a lot of names you know. that's all coming up inside fox report. we will go for breaking news as it happens. but, first, the showdown over droning americans. and whether your government has the legal right to kill you. senators are demanding answer from president obama's nominee to be the cia director. the white house counter terror chief right now john brennan. his confirmation hearing got off to a really dramatic start even before the grilling began. demonstrators interrupted brennan over and over again until the head of the intelligence committee had enough. >> we're going to halt the hearing. i'm going to ask that the room be cleared. [shouting] >> we will will recess for a few minutes. >> shepard: those demonstrators were protesting drone missile strikes against terror suspects. this week we got a look at the government guidelines for using those strikes to kill americans. in essence, top officials have to decide you are a

the manifesto vows vengeance. i will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in lapd uniform, whether on or off duty. >> lapd is a specific target. but all law enforcement is a target. >> reporter: police set up a command post in the mountains northeast of l.a., where a truck had been set ablaze. that truck turned out to be dorner's. but the suspect was nowhere to be found. cnn's anderson cooper revealed dorner had sent him a package. >> inside the package was a hand-labeled dvd with a yellow post-it note, reading in part, quote, i never lied, apparently in reference to his dismissal from the lapd in 2008. >> reporter: among the more chilling statements in the manifesto, when the truth comes out, the killing stops. l.a. police rejected any suggestion they review his allegation. >> it's not going to happen. >> reporter: dorner's manifesto indicates he is prepared to die. if they do manage to find him, don't be surprised if the lapd obliges. i'm david wright in los angeles. >>> we've learned overnight

ironically, dorner also uses his manifesto to talk about gun control.is views on the victims of virginia tech, newtown and other mass shootings. remember the innocent children he writes. make sure this never happens again. >> the fact that he's talking about other incidents like newtown, for example, and innocent victims yet then he's choosing to target innocent victims who he's labelled as not innocent because they're part of the body that has wronged him, this is hypocrisy. >> whether his claims are valid or not, dorner's tone in the manifesto is unwavering, he's on a crusade to purge the lapd of corruption. he writes, no one grows up and wants to be a cop killer. it was against everything i've ever was. as a young police explorer, i found my calling in life, but as a young police officer i found that the violent suspects on the street are not the only people you have to watch. though most of the rant is devoted to his anger at the lapd, dorner also bizarrely offers his opinions on politics, celebrities and pop culture. and even discusses the first la

dorner mentioned him in the manifesto. he gives you a lot of thanks and part of his manifesto.irmed that it's from christopher dorner but here is what was written, "best quality about you in college and now is that you never sugar coated the truth. i will miss our political discussions that always turned argue meantment. thanks for introducing to outdoor sports and respect for the land and resources. you even introduced me to pabst blue ribbon, i love you, bro, is how he ends it. are you surprised you're mentioned and tell us about the christopher dorner that you knew. >> sure, when i first read that and became aware of this manifesto and the fact i was mentioned i confessed i was a little bit flattered because i obviously had some positive effect on him. having now had the opportunity to put it in context with the rest of the manifesto it's obviously pretty shocking and i'm taken aback at being subsumed into this discussion and events. having said all that, the mr. dorner that i knew was a very intelligent, rational articulated person. he represents in the political discussion

he had a manifesto it was 35,000 words long. why do these mass murderers put their thoughts out there in writing with these and how can the manifesto help track them down? >> the manifesto gives a look into what thinking is. it gives what is important to that individual. in this case, there is a lot of threatening, intimidating behavior. there is a lot of bragging about his abilities and his training and his expertise. that tells us this is someone at least that tells me he intimidating and threatening before. he uses his background almost as a weapon to intimidate people. putting something out on the internet where its public, that tells me that he wants attention. he wants the focus of this law enforcement over the him. he wants notoriety. that is the reason for doing it. >> heather: finally, i was working in western north carolina during the search for the picked bomber eric rudolph. he spent five years in those mountains and he survived by gathering acorns. i went out there with the f.b.i. trying to find him. they could not.

again, we've reached out to friends listed in the manifesto. i did speak to that one, but that one was from his college days when he played football in utah. again e only was able to speak about dorner before the navy, before police. >> greta: thank you very much. and police focusing their manhunt in big b>ar ever since find dorner's burned-out truck there. have they found any clues? l.a. "daily news" reporter doug saunders has the latest from big bear. doug, any clues as to whether or not he's in that area? they found his burned-out truck, but any sign of him, any indication he's there? >> there are none. there are no signs that he's even on the mountain. >> greta: and did anyone see the car -- see him burn the car? did they just discover the car? >> no. they discovered the car burning. when they discovered it, they obviously went out and handled that situation. from there, they found foot tracks leading away from the vehicle that ended nowhere. >> greta: it's being reported tonight that the san bernardino sheriff's office says dorner's mother

if we look at the manifesto, it is film would with very high ideas of self. heap said for example, i will bring unconventional and asymmetriical. you have misjudged a sleeping giant. there is no conventional threat assessment for me. what does it mean in terms of the people trying to catch him? this means he is a classic a-one narccistic personality dis. it doesn't mean he is psychecotic like laugner. he was homicidal and enraged. he is likely to go out in a blaze of glory. >> that's what i wanted to ask you, doctor. >> you say homicidal. do you think he is suicidal. >> jamie, i have done interviews for the last 48 hours and you are the first person to pick up on this. when you read the 11 page manifesto, you have to realize that part grand royce intent of violence and half suicide note. people who followed the story may be wondering why he mentioned jerry seinfeld and hang over and odd references? because that was the suicide note part of this, staying goodbye to all of these things that he appreciated. now, part of that is suicide by cop. it is it quite lik

dorner writes in his manifesto, his firing triggered severe depression.n february 7th of this year, eight years from the day he stepped into the lapd as a recruit, he started killing officers. the lapd had to hunt down a man who was once one of their own, before he killed again.

when you read the manifesto, it's at times bone chilling. he warned everybody that he said you are aware i have always been a top shot. the highest scorer and an expert in rifle qualifications in every unit that he had been in. and he said that he would utilize every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordinance and survival training. in the manifesto, he alludes to wanting to exact revenge after being fired on a number of different people. and he obviously threatened both of these officers and their families, and that's why his link to the killing -- those killings earlier this week of a police officer's daughter. he said he felt betrayed and slandered in that manifesto and said he would not stop until he received a public apology. we have seen here in riverside numerous unmarked cars come whizzing by. as we alluded, the officers behind me on high alert. they don't know at this time where dorner is. >> local affiliate reporting they are conducting checks on cars on the freeway. what do you know about that? >> reporter: well, i am not ne
