the rookie cop eventually started working at the lapd harbor unit. as working there in 2006 when ariana williams melt him. >> we only dated for probably three months at the most. it was a very quick, intense romance. >> one that ended badly. williams feeling scorned, posted dorner's name and badge number on don't date him girl.com. a special networking site. williams describes verbal abuse. he had a color problem. righted, this man really hated himself because he's black. >> it was obviously some sort of issue for him. the racial thing. >> you did state in the post that you felt like he was almost a self-hating black man? >> well, i did as far as him identifying with himself as a black man in america. i just noticed that there were some discrepancies there, for me from the outside looking in. >> like dorner telling williams she was the first black girl he ever dated. dorner had severe mood swings calling it good chris/bad chris. dorner filed a temporary restraining order against williams after he saw her posting. >> so this was the bad chris? >> this

joining me now is john mccain who worked for the lapd. a senior correspondent at cbs this morning. what have you learned in the last 24 hours or so that you find most interesting? >> a number of things. number one, the fact that you say how do you gauge their confidence level that that's dorner inside? i think last night, the lapd commander said we're not going to remove any of the protective details on the people on this hit list until we're absolutely sure that's him in there -- >> more than 50 plus people we believe. >> so that's 58 members under guard. that's more than 400 officers. these are the gangs divisions, the narcotics divisions from all of the areas of the lapd had been mobilized to a plain clothes surveillance portion, as well as a high profile uniform portion. frankly, this is something we haven't gotten into while it was going on, but i think we can say it now, but the threat is so high and some of the locations were so difficult to protect that entire families, husbands, wives and children were moved into police stations.

lapd. it matches up to the way i think he had his experience with the lapd. especially the academy. >> this man never spoke to dorner. but he never forgot the cadet. >> but your thought was, this man represents power and strength. >> yeah, exactly. i wanted to show when i was going to use it, i wanted to show that lapd is powerful and look at this powerful man handling this gun. >> is it fearful to think that the lapd is facing this man. >> this guy is no joke. >> and one police are taking very seriously. kyung lah, cnn, los angeles. >>> there's no doubt that the ladies of cal state fullerton's basketball team will miss their assistant coach, monica kwan. she and her fiance were gunned down last weekend. police have reason to believe it was christopher dorner who pulled the trigger. her team took a moment to remember her at their game last night. >> our sympathies go out to the family, friends and those who have been affected by this tragedy. >> those ladies played with a lot of passion last night, according to our affiliate, kabc. the players and coaches love

according to dorner it confirms the story that dorner told the lapd. the story he says got him kicked off the force. today, by the way is the eighth anniversary of his hiring. also in the package, a coin wrapped in duct tape. the tape bared a hand written inscription saying, thanks, but no thanks, will bratten, his former boss. on the top also an abbreviation. at first we thought it may be the initials imoa which is imagine a more open america. if you look at it closer, it now appears to be the number one with a space, then the letter m.o.a. one m.o.a. could stand for one minute of angle which is a marksmanship term. you can see the bullet holes. three to the center. another shot nicked off the top. i was made aware of this parcel today as was the editorial staff at "ac 360." and we alerted chief bratten and law enforcement. bill bratten is the former new york police commissioner as well as l.a.'s retired chief of police. he joins me now. so chief bratten, i want to show you some of the images that apparently were sent to me. i didn't know about this un

now bla tme the lapd for everything. he's going to hold them responsible and that's why he's apparently targeted officers and their families. >> i worked in the government for years. there's always a number of people out there, in fact, a good number of them, who have had a problem with a bureaucracy. in this case the l.a. police department, where they have an incident where they feel wronged, aggrieved, and they spend the rest of their lives sometimes simply xeroxing copies of their complaint to everybody they know and then piling up their copies and they spend the rest of their lives trying to deal with something instead of moving on. this is obviously a much more grievous case where a person has been killing people because of this incident where he feels aggrieved. [ inaudible ]. >> i think we're missing -- we're going to have to get a better connection with you. we're going to have to try to get a better connection. we'd like you to come back and tell us -- let's go back to john yang at our bureau in los angeles. john

christopher jordan dorner, an ex-navy officer with a grudge against the lapd. breaking news tonight, police have located his burned out truck near big bear lake. that's about 100 miles east of los angeles. that's the truck there, burned out. they have not, however, located dorner. just moments ago, we learned that the fbi went to the suspect's home in las vegas. we do not know, however, what, if anything, they discovered there. meantime, back at big bear lake, the l.a. times is reporting that fresh tracks were found nearby. check points are up on local roads and the faa has barred all local news choppers from the air space overhead. as for the suspect himself, authorities say that christopher dorner is not only armed, not only dangerous and vowing revenge on his former lapd officers but also people close to them. in a strange and chilling online manifesto allegedly written by dorner, he says, and i quote, i never had an opportunity to have a family of mine own, i'm terminating yours. as for his capabilities, a local police officer had this to say, quote, of cour

he writes, quote, i know i'll be vilified by the lapd and the media.is is a necessary evil that i do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the lapd and reclaim my name. the question is what would you do to clear your name? dorner clearly wants vindication from the lapd which terminated him in 2008 for making false statements to a superior officer. the attacks will stop when the department states the truth about my innocence publicly, he writes, i will not accept any type of currency/goods in exchange for the attacks to stop, nor do i want it. i want my name back, period. he said he was telling the truth and he urges the media to investigate his case. he writes, quote, with the discovery and evidence available, you will see the truth. unfortunately, i will not be alive to see my name cleared. dorner writes repeatedly about his own death. at one point, he writes, self preservation is no longer important to me. i do not fear death. he also writes, i have nothing to lose. you cannot prevail against an enemy combatan

the west coast, we're tracking the manhunt for ex-lapd cop. the suspect' burned truck has been dound about 100 miles northeast of los angeles. he vowed to wage war on police. three people are dead, one officer, the daughter of a former officer, and her fiance. we begin with kyung lah. what is the latest on the manhunt for this very dangerous man? >> the sheriff's department just came out and spoke with reporters. what they are saying, and it's a little surprising, that despite the perilous conditions, despite the danger the officers are facing on this rough terrain, they are going to keep on searching. snow is in the forecast. weather is going to become extremely difficult. but they say they are going to stay out there. they have the dogs out there. they're going to use all the technology they can, but their goal is to try to corner him in some very rough terrain, piers. i have been out in that area. it's a heavily wooded area. there are resort homes. some of those homes are empty. you're talking about police officers hunting one of their own,

so can the lapd protect its own in this? at this, let's read this, he said the violence will be high. i'm the reason tac. >> that's a tac alert. >> i will bring warfare to those in the lapd uniform whether on or off duty. can they protect their own? >> it will be tough. what else scares me, down at the end of the paragraph, "i also own barrett 50s, so your apc are defunct and futile', a barrett 50 caliber rife sell one of the most powerful weapons you can get. and he talked about apc as an arm pord personnel carriers being defunct and futile. it sounds like anyone with an lapd uniform right now is at risk. but you have the metropolitan division of lapd, don, that are trying to protect some of the people mentioned in this manifesto and their families, because over the weekend, there was a woman who was killed, whose father at the time was an lapd captain, who represented him during his disciplinary board where he felt he was wrongly terminated. so he said that that was one of the reasons -- that is one of the reasons he shot h

but did the lapd really suppress the truth? court documents show the testimony of getler and his father was heard by the board of rights, who say, quote, while the board acknowledged that the testimony of getler and his father indicated a kicking had occurred, getler is schizophrenic. they found he was unreliable witness and his father's testimony was here say. >> dorner challenged his firing in the court of appeals but lost. this incident is not dorner's only problem with the lapd. he also accuses officers of rampant racism saying they used racial slurs on the job. he writes, quote, the department has not changed since the rampart and rodney king days. it has gotten worse. in his manifesto he promises quote terminating officers because they expose a culture of lying, racism and excessive use of force will change. the blue line will be forever severed. you have awoken a sleeping giant. >> the lapd said they will reinvestigate the original allegations that dorner made. with him dead we may never know why or when he decided to ve

apparently reference to the 2008 dismiss practical the lapd. >> reporter: dorner was fired from the department for making false statements after accusing an lapd training officer of kicking a mentally unstable man. the chief who fired him, bill bratton. bratton gave dorner a personal coin burying the chief's own name. >> also in the package, i mentioned a coin wrapped in duct tape. the tape bearing hand inscription thanks but no thanks. that's his former boss. here's the coin again. you can see the bullet holes. another shot. nicked off the top of that. >> reporter: after learning of the contents anderson's assistant alerted chief bratton and law enforcement. the former lapd chief says he gave the coins to a lot of officers but doesn't remember the meaning with dorner. but he doesn't question the firing. >> quite clearly in his mind i was among those responsible for his problems, his dismissal from the department. clearly i was. i was the chief of police. i fired him. i have no regrets about that. >> reporter: was the package dorner sent to anderson a cry for justice in the court of public opi

but he wants the public to see this, so people understand what the lapd is facing. >> if you look at n expert. watch how he disarms the shoot. almost no movement when he shoots the gun, and then pop, like nothing. >> reporter: so he stood out. >> yeah, he stood out. he knew what he was doing. the lapd has -- they're going to be going after one of their own former, and he knows -- like i say, he knows what he's doing. he knows how to use everything. >> reporter: being a cop, do you think that it was -- could you tell that it was important to him? >> yeah, i think it was very important to him. yeah. >> reporter: you could see it. >> yeah. >> reporter: even during the training. >> right, yeah. i think it's a 300-pound dummy. and is he does that easily. >> reporter: easily. not everything was easy for dorner. the aspiring police officer. this man says he witnessed drill instructors picking on him for his weight and slow running. >> when i hear about how angry he is about the lapd, i think that fits to my experience with him. i could kind of -- that matches up when he says things about lap

dorner's firing from the lapd. that he wants to re-examine this case to see if anything -- that there's validity to what dorner has said in his manifesto to either prove or disprove what dorner said. he said the results of that inquiry will be made public. presumably dorner would want to have his day in court, as it were. have his case heard again to make his plea to present his argument again to the lapd as they reopen and re-examine this case. >> now, one of the things that we do know is that he allegedly had been at another cabin where the alleged robbery of a car or the pickup truck happened. do we know if where he's barricaded now was a cabin that no one was there? is it possible someone is in the cabin? or was he -- has he gone in a cabin that was empty or abandon snd. >> well, we don't know about the cabin where he is now. whether it was empty, whether it was occupied. we do know that the cabin where he got the truck, there were two people in there. they were tied up for a bit. one of them was able to escape,

the lapd called him a hug- hugger. i will repeat everything that they have said, not because of sore afraid of using profanity but because it was a different lapd. it was rumored that the mexican mafia was allowed to meet in his church and that he held guns for gang members. and he was helping gang members across the border. i am certain he knew where the body of jimmy hoffa was buried when you got done listening to the rumors. now, the lapd uses home with industries as an integral part of its anti-gang efforts. not all of them, not 9000 members, but i can tell you this, homeboy industries have their annual benefit to honor people in the community as well as former gang members, the person they honored was chief charlie of the lapd. unless you think that was an anomaly, the year before they honored the sheriff. there is an alliance between community-based organizations, and law-enforcement. this is not enough. there has also been in the streets, ongoing, a relationship, a delicate one, a thoughtful one between the loss

for the last 10 years i have been married to someone who was a deputy chief of the lapd and i now refer to him as being in recovery. at the same time, i have been working extensively with home with industries, and my brother said, if he had dreamed i would be married to a policeman and working with a priest, somebody would be lying. i have been working with gangs and been involved with gangs, trying to figure them out for 34 years. i began as a young social worker in south los angeles. with gang infested housing projects that are now almost mythic, jordan downs and nickerson gardens, and i worked in these projects during what is referred to as the decade of death, when crack and unregulated gun availability laid waste to communities of color. in los angeles during the late 1980's and early 1990's, there were 1000 homicides per year in the city of los angeles, not the county, the city. now, we have between 203 hundred homicides per year. people talk about the gang problem having been addressed. i want to share with you, what i experienced, what i have learned, i am not a typical academic
