Commuters on Santa Monica Boulevard on the Westside of Los Angeles see a digital billboard displaying a large "wanted" poster for former Los Angeles police Officer Christopher Dorner. Dorner is suspected in a spree of violence as part of a vendetta against law enforcement after being fired by the department. Dorner's alleged killing spree hasn't just terrorized a large section of the country — it has captured people's imagination and attention.

About this Article
