The Real Dorner Question: Not Why Was He Fired, But Why Was He Hired?

By Steve Sailer [1] on February 13, 2013 at 1:09pm

Immediately after the New York Times [2] headlined "Shooting Suspect’s Racism Allegations Resound for Some," [3] the chief of the LAPD announced the department would re-investigate why Christopher Dorner was fired.

As usual, the opposite question from the one being obsessed over in the media seems more worthy of investigation: Why was this highly defective individual hired in the first place? Why did the LAPD [4], which is big enough to afford the most sophisticated screening processes, [5] ever give this man a badge and a gun?
