what makes you think anything will change with the federal government involved? what makes you think the president needs to comment on this?
The use of drones was later confirmed by Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio, who revealed agents have been prepared for Dorner to make a dash for the Mexican border since his rampage began.
He said: “This agency has been at the forefront of domestic use of drones by law enforcement. That’s all I can say at the moment.”

DRONES are now been used in the Hunt for Dorner. This is it. Just like that , Drones will now be a common tool used in law enforcement in the U.S.
What have you become America?

I'm sure the review is to save face from mounting pressure from the FBI and others. Aparently the DA said other officers have come forward with the same type of claims and are currently in fear of their life.
This is the most interesting case i have personally read all year. I am watching this one by the minute.
Was mentioned earlier in the thread with links.edit on 9-2-2013 by onequestion because: (no reason given)
"I do this not to appease a murderer. I do it to reassure the public that their police department is transparent and fair in all the things we do," the chief said in a statement.

The only thing i think that will change with another authority involved is the procedure.

drones have already been used over america. That said, I have been talking about this since this whole thing started. To me, this seems like the perfect event to use to publicly announce drone use, to get public support behind drone use, and possibly will end with a drone strike.
Everything else aside, this whole thing is tailor made for public drone use

The man in charge of the LAPD's Air Support Division, Capt. William D. Sutton, told us the department doesn't yet see much advantage in using drones. He thinks their safety record isn't satisfactory yet:
Back east a department had purchased one and lost control of it. It flew into a vehicle. We're going to see how it goes.
And? ...what's your point?
You obviously have no idea how this sort of thing works...the ONLY federal entity that should be involved is the DOJ...they should be investigating the claims of the former officer, and that's ALL they should be doing..and the only reason they should be involved, is because there were specific claims and accusations of corruption made against the LAPD, and the LAPD, nor any part of the California legal system can be trusted to investigate the matter....you don't trust a criminal to investigates claims against himself, and decide his guilt, so you?
There's no need to reply to him/her like they're an idiot...
it's limited to the jurisdiction of the LAPD, because the complaint is against them, the threat is against them, and there is no proof that he has left the area...
Where the issue comes in, is that the LAPD didnt consider kicking a mentally handicapped person in the face as excessive force.
A man identifying himself as Dorner taunted the father of Monica Quan four days after the former LAPD officer allegedly killed her and just 11 hours after he allegedly killed a police officer in Riverside, Calif., according to court documents obtained by ABC News
The call, according to court records, was traced to Vancouver, Wash., but law enforcement officials do not believe Dorner was there at the time at the call.
Dorner is believed to have made the call early Thursday afternoon, less than half a day after he is suspected of killing a police officer and wounding two others early that morning, sparking an unprecedented man hunt involving more than a thousand police officers and federal agents spanning hundreds of miles.

The dinky little drones that some police forces are using are very different to the military drones that will be soon common across US skies.

It will be along time before Police forces will be using drones of any use that can scan huge areas with thermal imaging. we are talking about the real thing in this case , not some dinky PD drone.
