ETA..They have also posted his court documents on the lawsuit against LAPD

Thanks JsMom. All the docs can be found here:

It's a lot of reading, but all of the legal docs are consistent.

-Dorner came back from military tour and requested LAPD re-training, which he was granted.
-He and the female training officer responded to a call from a hotel regarding an impaired man causing a disturbance.
-Dorner was walking the man to the patrol car when the man suddenly went into a violent outburst.
-The two men struggled and wound up on the ground, in some bushes.
-The training officer told the man to stop resisting or she'd have to use the taser; meanwhile Dorner's still scuffling with the man.
-The man kept fighting so the training officer tased him twice.
-The man stopped resisting, was helped up, handcuffed and arrested/processed without issue.
-The suspect had slight injuries on his face, consistent with a scuffle in the bushes. He did not mention anything about being kicked when interviewed at the police station.
-In the arrest and force report (which the training officer finished because Dorner was taking a long time), there is no mention of kicking the man. Dorner signed it. Dorner never mentioned kicking until 2 weeks later.
-In a performance evaluation 2 weeks after the incident, the training officer noted that Dorner was struggling to integrate and slow in filing reports; she told him that his performance needed improvement to maintain his "satisfactory" status.
-At that point, Dorner went to a higher ranking officer, cried, and told him about the supposed kicking incident / excessive force allegation.

In court, a hotel witness's testimony was consistent with the training officer's story. The suspect said that he'd been clubbed by an "almost black" officer (the training officer is a light-haired Caucasian and no club was used). The only witness supporting Dorner's version of events was the suspect's father who said that his son told him he'd been kicked, but that wasn't corroborated. Dorner's termination was upheld by the original judge and later again by the appellate judge.

A couple of details from various news sources yesterday:
-Dorner's mother owns property in ArrowBear (area near where his burnt out truck was found)
-Dorner's ex-wife (to whom he was married for one month) is an undercover police officer
-Rookie Dorner had filed complaints against other officers accusing them of racism during his short tenure. In one, he claimed that his locker room bag had been urinated upon. The bag was tested and contained no traces of urine.

I think Dorner was a disturbed full-of-shit narcissist and had been a ticking time bomb behind a big smile for a very long time. Hoping today is the day that he gets stopped in his tracks.
