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.

    In other words you pull your numbers out of thin air. No surprise there. Criminals turned down by the background check system go to sellers like yourself who don't believe background checks do any good, get all the guns and ammo they need, and then skip down the street to commit their crimes. I can understand how universal background checks can cut into your business.

    where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Alright. I'm goin down to shoot my old lady, you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man. Hey Joe, where'd you get that gun in your hand? I tried to get one at the gun store but they turned me away because of the order. Hey Joe, what'd you do then? I got it from the gun nut down the street, 'cuz he don't ask no questions, no man, no questions at all.

    someone want to do away with laws for a child molester conviction? To apply your analogy correctly, this means you are accusing yrreta and others that they want to do away with laws for murder convictions. I have never seen "KTAR brethren" express this. To quote you, "don't be ridiculous"!!!

    So you quote Jimi Hendrix and make up your own version. But in reality the song is about a murderer who runs to Mexico. So weird that I have seen this same story acted out in real life numerous times with illegal immigrants running back to Mexico after committing a crime or killing someone. Ok Ok, it's fair to say that USA citizens wanted for a crime have run to Mexico too but in this day and age I hear more about illegals that do this vs citizens that do. Good choice of songs to quote Micho!

    good social outcome that results from expanding background checks to prevent the private sale of firearms to violence oriented illegal immigrants. Selling guns to illegal immigrants is a time honored tradition in the no questions asked gun nut community. The profitability of this sort of trafficking, they insist, is the greater social good. Besides, laws enacted to prevent illegal gun sales to violent illegal immigrants won't stop some of them from getting guns, so why bother, they tell us.

    Remember the fuss about Fast and Furious?

    The conservative complaints about the federal government letting some thousands of guns walk south of the border has been deafening. Oddly, there seems to be no problem from these same gun nuts with private sellers and corrupt dealers letting millions of guns work their way into the hands of the people that want to do us harm. Did I say odd? Let's say perverse instead.

    with guns getting into the wrong hands period! What the problem is that the government is attempting to take away rights from responsible people. I know you don't understand that there is a difference. Oh and fast and furious was going against the law, making law abiding gun shop owners go against the law and their own will and run by the government. You seem to confuse laws and what they actually do and what they don't actually do. Try learning about them before looking like an idiot.

    they cannot confirm a body found in a California cabin is that of ex-police officer Christopher Dorner" Now wouldn't that be something if the body is not him, and he in fact slipped out during the fire...probably not, but it would make for a far more interesting story than the massive vowel movements of Micho.
