On Tuesday, a manifesto by former LAPD officer Joe Jones, written in sympathy of recent fugitive Christopher Dorner, was made public.

Jones writes in his manifesto, “The 1st thing I would say to [Dorner] is, I feel your pains!,”

Jones, now 48, was an LAPD patrol officer for 9 years before retiring in 1998. His manifesto sheds light on the truth in Dorner’s claims of discrimination and wrongdoing by the LAPD. He addresses Dorner directly several times throughout the manifesto.

“To take innocent lives could never be the answer to anything. I say this as a Man who experienced the same pain, betrayal, anger, suffering, litigation and agony that you did in many ways.”

Jones even describes his own bad experience as an LAPD officer: 

1) I had my home viciously attacked by a gunman with my family and myself inside the house. No arrests were made and my family and I Received very little support. 

2) I had my Civil Rights violated on several occasions. I was falsely arrested at gunpoint by the Sheriffs as an Officer who ID’d himself and was conspired against by both LAPD and the Sheriffs when my Civil case went to Trial.

3) I was falsely accused on more than one occasion and simply placed in a position that the trust was so compromised that I could no longer wear the Uniform. Also know there were many more episodes. All of these issues are well documented

Looks like Dorner wasn’t lying. 

Jones offers advice to all of the crooked cops in L.A.

“Always think what if it were you, How would you feel?..How would you like if you were falsely accused and your life, lively- hood and career was taken from you? How would you like if someone was beating on you just because they felt they could get away with it?,” he wrote “You are no better the criminals you took and oath to arrest when you do what you do!”

He even reaches out to Dorner personally.

“Bro, Don’t kill anymore Innocent people. Your point has been made. Clearly. They know you mean business, The whole world knows. Refrain from any further wrong doing and do what you must to salvage your Soul. Whatever that means to you. Just remember that God is a forgiving God.”

Jones is much more forgiving than Dorner, who described his mission to get revenge on all of the LAPD officers that did him wrong and then fired him back in 2008. Dorner is responsible for the deaths of 3 people.

Dang! Were Dorner’s actions justified? Was the LAPD actually out to get him?
