LOS ANGELES (AP) - Dozens of fired Los Angeles police officers are taking up the chief's offer to re-examine their dismissals since a deadly rampage by Christopher Dorner, who claimed that he was wrongly expelled from the force.

The Los Angeles Times ( http://lat.ms/Y7E2uY) reports 40 former officers have requested case reviews in the two months since Dorner killed four people before apparently committing suicide in a mountain cabin.

Dorner claimed his 2009 firing was prompted by racism. Chief Charlie Beck vowed he would re-examine the cases of other officers who believed they were wrongly expelled.

However, the Times reports the officers have been told the city charter prevents the LAPD from reinstating officers who were fired more than three years ago.

    conservative commentators, is known as Straw man fallacy, yrreta. You simply ignore a person's actual position and make false attributions in its place. You are in essence arguing with yourself, but pretending to argue with the better informed and more cogent. It is the best that thumb suckers can do when faced with an untenable position.

    perfect sense. Forgot that Left wing nuts can ascertain a humans nature and predict how they will act based upon their future life experiences. Sorry my bad. Your answer sounds like you do not fully grasp the idea of not being able to control humans and their actions via law, legislation, banning, etc. I truly hope you get all that you want just so I can have the satisfaction of being able to say, "I told you so". Your sugar must be low this morning, go have another doughnut and watch some Oprah. I hear she thinks she's omnipotent, much like you.

    be created if they do not prevent the all of the illegal behavior they are designed to deter and punish. The same sentiment expressed by his KTAR brethren. Since no law on the books has ever prevented child molestation, should we do away with those laws yrreta, and let the chomos have their way with our kids. I repeat, don't be ridiculous. Most gun control laws have been shown to be constitutional and have done some good, even if they don't prevent all gun violence.

    you make far too many assumptions, and determine a person’s point of view based on those assumptions to provide any value into the discussion. What a joy it must be to go through life in a delusional blur, looking forward to your next date at the nut bar. I've lost interest now.

    Ever notice how all of these looney shooters are liberals? Dorner was a liberal. So was the Aurora shooter. Gabby Giffords shooter also. Same for the Virginia Tech shooter. Liberals and mental illness. They go hand in hand. So, Micho, you ENFORCE the laws you have, not make new ones. Why are prosecutions of violations by criminals detected during a background check trying to purchase a firearm down 70% under Obamatard?

    Over 2 million criminals were denied the purchase of a firearm since 1994 due to background checks being instituted. How many do you think the Feds have prosecuted? Almost none. And enforcement is down 70% now under Obama the Zero. Do you think those criminals or mentally ill people didn't ultimately obtain one? Naive. So Michump, how is increasing the number of background checks going to reduce violent crime or gun violence? It won't. The objective is by proxy registration of all firearms to permit confiscation. You don't read manifestos (Dorners and the Communist one), do you?

    J. Patrick Bedell, the idiot who shot up the Pentagon checkpoint was a liberal. Bruce Edward Ivins, the anthrax mailer was a liberal. The Unabomber was a liberal. Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter was a liberal registered Democrat who railed incessantly about “the richâ€. When he was failing in his business classes, he switched to English – and began shooting.

    The Aurora shooter considered himself “superior†to people around him and when he began failing out of his classes, he went shooting – when he wasn’t OWS protesting. Floyd Lee Corkins, who shot up the Family Research council was a liberal. Adam Lanza, the shooter at Newtown was a registered Democrat who despised Christians. Even Hasan, the Ft. Hood shooter, was registered as a Democrat.
