The Knicks star posted a link to the ex-LAPD cop's manifesto on his Twitter page Sunday with the words: "Interesting. This is a must read."
Dorner addressed his declaration of war on the LAPD "to America."
Interesting. This is a must read !!abclocal.go.com/kabc/feature?s…
— Amar'e Stoudemire (@Amareisreal) February 17, 2013
In his disturbing 20-page rant Dorner left on his Facebook page, the fired cop rails against police corruption in the LAPD, and paints himself as victim of racism for reporting a sergeant for brutality and crossing the thin blue line.
The disgraced cop killed himself inside a burning cabin on a California mountain after killing four people as revenge and becoming a fugitive for 10 days.
Stoudemire wasn't specific on his tweet but some of the player's 806,000 Twitter followers were a little peeved by his nightstand recommendation.
"Really?! A murderer's hateful manifesto is worth reading?" one follower tweeted back.
Stoudemire is entitled to his own reading choices but he might want to leave this social media tome on the shelf.
what do you expect from the thug n b a. he aint a smart one.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance is bliss . Because he said it must read , what is the problem ? He never said he is supporting Dorner's actions . I read it . It is a must read . So when they make made for TV movies outta real life murders nobody has a problem with . Get a life !
ReplyDeleteWow... I agree ... just because he plays in the NBA he can't use the words must read...ONLY BECAUSE HE'S IN THE NBA.... if he was a hockey player no one would have said a word... and if this was Alice Sebold (The Lovely Bones)..you all would have not said a word...GET A LIFE.... ALL THINGS NBA ARE NOT BAD!!!!! Hell you all said the NBA Players couldn't read any way....
ReplyDeleteNobody cares where he plays his sport he appeared (i did type appeared) to be supporting a murderer. Your vieled attampt at citing racism is rediculous.
DeleteAnd you don't know how to spell....
DeleteYou obviously have no grasp of grammer is used. A sentence ends with one period not three.
DeleteAgree 100%. N0 issue. Few people in the world would defend the murderer. It's good he ended it and we did not have to see him in the news for the next 5 years. The read though, was truly highly interesting, and provides a great deal of insight. It was hard to put down. I agree with Amare.
ReplyDeleteI read it and I agree it is a must read. A lot of bad things happened to him that helped to push him over the edge. There's a lot of truth in Dorner's ramblings.
ReplyDeleteSo you take the admitted ramblings of a cold blooded murderer as uncomprimised truth? Wow. Please tell me you take a murderers word to explain why he killed INNOCENT people (not the people he actually had a problem with) in cold blood? You guys are a joke.
DeleteHe's entitled to his own opinion. He just said it was a must read and I would agree. I bet you after you posted what you said you probably read it yourself. Amar not a murderer so stop judging him.He's just a man with a opinion. I wont defend CD but LA Cops has had a bad reputation for a very longtime especially with minorities.
ReplyDeleteIT IS a must read..that DOES NOT MEAN that you support the killers resolution to his problems. He cracked under immense racial prejudices and what he perceived as a character assasignation and cover up by those whose respect he worked all his life to gain.He very articulately details evidence of his mistreatment,how and where the media could find proof of his accusations etc. A very very sad situation, dispicable acts against the innocent and I'm sure still nothing learned by those who continue to despise and mistreat a race of people. The mind is fragile-some more fragile than others, be careful of your words and how you treat people. You never know how it will manifest itself down the road. My prayers for the souls whose lives he took.
ReplyDeleteHe is entitled to his own opinion. However,because he embraces his status as a celebrity and enjoys those benefits,he can expect a potential explosion of controversy every time he opens his mouth,if all the opinions of the world descend on him,tough shite,true for any celebrity,safest thing to do is let people love you for your ability as an athlete,singer,actor etc....you want to use that platform for something other than for what it was created,then expect unpleasant consequences.
ReplyDeletehow about you all stop with the comments on FAKEAZZ FOXSPORTS.COM YARDBARKER.COM....#TEAMHATEEVERYTHINGFOX
ReplyDeleteWell said. If he had gone after the people who were corrupt in his department then his manifesto might have been taken seriously, and an investigation into his claims might have happened. But revenge killings of innocent people removes credibility of any thing hes had to say. He will be rembered as a cold blooded murderer as he should be. The shame is we all know many police departments cover up police brutallity, and if anyone dosen't believe it there are plenty of witness accounts on the internet with videos
