Without a picture, I couldn't say. Could be anything from gear storage to microwave emitters.

Sure go to the phone pole cut cable and Wi-Fi Also cut off the cell towers in that remote of a place they probably only have one. Some movie theater's even have cell phone blocker's so do the police.

Cuting off the phone's is also S.O.P.The police throw in a closed phone line.They don't want anyone but them talking to the holdout.It is a tool for negotiations, only there won't be any unless he does in fact have a hostage.That may not even matter if there is a "accidental" fire.

By the way, I can't help but noticing the sheer absurdity of it all;
a man is being hunted by an army of armed men, hell bent on killing him, weapons free (probably), while we sit here, in the comfort of our homes (or the relative comfort of our workplace) and follow this like some sort of entertainment show... I just try to tune into the guy (and the wounded officers for that sake), feel the anxiety, the pain, the horror...
Don't forget what is really happening here, on all levels: a murderer, a fighter, the authorities, society, ourselves in the midst of it.

Sorry for interrupting. Just wanted to add some perspective (as usual).
Carry on

Satellite Dishes for a mobile command center, so they say on the live feed

I just got here...Do they have him trapped in a cabin?

If he is in a cabin, why are they checking all the cars?

Screw the police. Keep the information flowing, even on twitter (though I admit I still don't know what that is exactly.)

No, seriously, since when does the LAPD have the right to obstruct the flow of information on a nationwide, possibly global scale? Especially when the scrutiny is upon themselves?

No. Keep "twittering" or whatever. Keep information free!

Get the sheep used to the check points. I bet you no one is being asked "can we search?" or "do you consent to a search?"

I really wonder what would happen if someone said "no"

They have someone that "resembles" him.

What an embarrassment if it turns out to not be him.

They don't know that he is trapped.. But also WHY NOT check the cars.. That would be a dangerous mistake to make if he got away don't you think?

KTTV reporting one of the deputies shot earliet, has died.

Twitter reports that one of the two officers shot has been pronounced dead, the other is in critical condition.

Slightly off topic, but relevant to a degree - and possibly a good thread idea for the future - after being plugged into this police feed for about an hour, I am noticing that I'm agitated and if I had to interact with anyone right now, I'd likely be aggressive and very short tempered. The silence to loud, and back again, over and over again - and the level of attention required to understand it all is just mentally irritating.

The same just came across my TV when I walked by it ( got up for a bathroom break ).

There are like 50 movies with this theme and im not even gonna count books, comics and video games. Storys like this are apart of american culture

But I do agree our society is absurd.

Are you saying this in relation to law enforcement? And yes I know exactly what you mean.

Can't expect any consistancy, can we?

Are cops using twitter??
WTF???

You are impeding what we are doing,stop twittering??
Are they really taking twitter as a serious piece of investigation???

Twitter...really???

I am out...it really doesn't get dumber then this.

haha, yes the news people just said the media was asked to stop using twitter. I am listening to the CBS los angeles feed that was posted earlier.

UPDATE: Unconfirmed: Reported owner of the cabin says the cabin currently has no power, no TV, no Internet. #Dorner #manhunt

If this is true, why are they telling people on Twitter to stop tweeting? They claim it may "aid" Dorner.

ETA from Twitter:

SCANNER TRAFFIC " SBSO NOT happy with LAPD deploying SWAT team without advising SBSO command

A) Uncomfirmed
B) Smart phones require none of the above.

I am betting surprise ending to this.
