b'In this week\'s episode, Jad, Kevin, and special guest Tom DeLorenzo discuss the fate of Chris Dorner. Chris was a 33-year old Naval Reservist turned LAPD police officer who recently and allegedly killed himself after a police siege. He was believed to have killed four people before distributing a rather lengthy and disturbing manifesto about his experiences on the LAPD.\\n\\nThe entire incident was plagued with frightening realities of how police forces are becoming increasingly militarized. There were news stories warning Los Angelites to obey officers citing that the force was "on edge". Then there was the incident where officers fired approximately 100 rounds into a truck that they thought was Dorners. Even if you ignore that the truck was occupied by two older Hispanic women instead of a younger black man, even if you ignore the fact that it was a blue Toyota instead of a gray Nissan like the one Dorner was thought to be driving, you still can\'t ignore the fact that modern police protocol simply fires into a vehicle that clearly had made no threat against them. Worse is that a similar incident happened a second time!\\n\\nSo if you didn\'t have enough reasons to say fuck the LAPD, you\'re sure to find a few more within the episode.\\n\\nWe also discuss how modern technology might have altered or hastened the conspiracy theories surrounding the Kennedy Assassination. Jad brings up the interesting point that there seems to be a lag in time before regular people (non-conspiracy-theorists) actually become interested in outcomes other than those presented by the mainstream media. He suggests that by the time people do become interested, the actual story is no longer even relevant. It\'s a pretty interesting exchange.\\n\\nMaterial from Podcast\\nMusic\\n\\nHey Man Nice Shot by Filter\\n\\n\\nReferences\\n\\nChristopher Dorner on Wikipedia\\nTom DeLorenzo\'s book, New World Rising\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nTranscript of Podcast\\n\\nKevin: Hello again and welcome to another episode of the JK Podcast.

Chris was believed to have killed 4 people while also distributing a rather lengthy and disturbing manifesto about his experience on the Los Angeles police department. The entire incident was plagued with frightening realities of how police forces are becoming increasingly militarized. \\n\\nThere were news stories warning Los Angelites to obey officers, citing that the force was "on edge". Then there was the incident where officers fired approximately 100 rounds into a truck that they thought was Dorner\'s. Even if you ignore the fact that the truck was occupied by two older Hispanic women instead of a younger black man, and even if you ignore the fact that it was a blue Toyota instead of a gray Nissan like the one Dorner was thought to be driving, you still can\'t ignore the fact that modern police protocol simply fires into a vehicle that clearly had made no threat against it. \\n\\nWorse is that a similar incident happened a second time. Of course, then there\'s the actual tapes from the police siege. It was during this time that police officers ultimately decided to burn down the cabin that Chris had holed himself up in. Here\'s some of the audio that quickly circulated after the event: \\n\\nRecorded Audio: [?] [Inaudible]\\n\\nBeyond the static, you can hear the police yelling phrases like, "burn that fucking house down" - not exactly what people should be thinking about when it comes to the American justice system.'
