    Received this from a friend in Redondo Beach

    Summary:

    "David Perdue was on his way to sneak in some surfing before work Thursday morning when police flagged him down. They asked who he was and where he was headed, then sent him on his way."

    "Seconds later, Perdue's attorney said, a Torrance police cruiser slammed into his pickup and officers opened fire; none of the bullets struck Perdue."

    "His pickup, police later explained, matched the description of the one belonging to Christopher Jordan Dorner — the ex-cop who has evaded authorities after allegedly killing three and wounding two more. But the pickups were different makes and colors. And Perdue looks nothing like Dorner: He's several inches shorter and about a hundred pounds lighter. And Perdue is white; Dorner is black."

    "I don't want to use the word buffoonery but it really is unbridled police lawlessness," said Robert Sheahen, Perdue's attorney. "These people need training and they need restraint."

    This guy is going to be a rich man...plenty of surf trips headed his way, courtesy of the City of Los Angeles.
    What a bunch of idiots. Wrong color and make of truck even.
    Nice aim BTW, half of the them are in the tailgate.

    shoot first, ask questions later. If you have a pickup truck, watch out! You fit the description and could be shot on sight.

    So, I guess he has been hiding out in a body shop some where and was able to refurbish this into a nice new pick up.........

    Wrong skin color too, what more could have been wrong? The only thing left would be if he was a female and not a male... then they'd have it ALL wrong!

    By shooting at women and caucasians the LAPD is demonstrating that it is neither sexist nor racist; the LAPD is an equal opportunity shooter of ALL innocent people.

    You know what they say.... "LAPD, We treat you like a King!"

    And man, they turned that Taco ('yota-head speak for Tacoma) into swiss cheese!

    What the heck? They put a lot of bullets in a truck for not trying to pull it over...my bad experiences with cops aside... I believe most are trying to protect and serve and I'm all for police doing whatever necessary to self guard themselves but this is outrageous! I sincerely hope that this guy gets PAID and has a chance to publicly expose the this dumbassed-ry. Those cops should loose their job and when they did, if it was me, I'd seek them out and either punch them in the face or thank them for setting me up for life (hopefully the later)...depending on the pay out. Crazy...

    They went Bonnie and Clyde on that guy. Lucky to be alive. That nutjob they are looking for must have crazy dirt on some important people.

    This, there has to be more to the story that isn't getting told. Not the most corruption free police department either.

    You're joking right? What you are saying is it's understandable to empty a clip on some guy because you think he fits the profile, but when in fact he fits nothing even remotely close to the profile. I'd understand if the guy was black (just like the real suspect) and a similar build with the same or similar made / model of truck... but this was not even close, so to suggest it's an honest mistake is laughable at best.

    Thank you for the clarification, sure did sound like something else 1st go around. I'm sure they want this guy dead, but going around just shooting at random people won't solve anything. I'm just glad the random guy trying to catch some waves that morning is ok and will live to see another day. As for the cops, i'm not even going to say what I think here, it's not good though, i'll leave it at that.

    plus, do these fools really think the guy is just going to be driving his truck around in broad daylight? According to them he's so trained by the army to kill and has already gotten away with killing people and hasn't been caught. They don't know where he is and they are all scared.

    I think the first thing they should concede is that he's not stupid enough to drive his truck around during the day in a populated area.
