3. Why did Dorner warrant a few hundred or thousand plus manhunt?  Every other violent crime victim should be outraged, IMHO, at the double standard.
4. Why a million dollar reward in the first days?  That seems completely abnormal too.

From what I remember, if there is a solid lead on a suspect and he/she in turn commits more violence, the manhunt becomes massive... regardless of who the victims are. Although, I would tend to agree that because there was an LAPD connection it got more press.

Have there been violent crimes in the past where the suspect was identified, he/she committed more violence and there was no manhunt?

I'm with IHO on this.  How SHOULD the police have responded in this situation?  They had a solid lead with a burning truck and a suspect that fled into difficult terrain.  The public would have been outraged if the police had not thrown every available resource at this situation. 

The police conducting the manhunt had nothing to do with the Torrance shootings, so you need to separate your disdain for the trigger-happy cops in Torrance from the cops risking their lives trying to capture this lunatic.
 
Regarding the previous comment about the reward: the L.A. Times reported the $1M was raised by more than two dozen donors which included businesses, individuals, civic organizations, local governments, and police departments. This amount was raised in only a 24 hour period to help prevent another intended murder from occurring.

On to an update: There are unconfirmed reports that Dorner's wallet with I.D. in it have been found with the body in the cabin.

First, let's make it clear, I have NO disdain for the officers conducting the manhunt. 

I have questions on the apparent differences in the police handling of this case directed at them compared to the one directed at the general public.  I don't remember that last major manhunt.  I also don't remember that last time we fired up agencies across not only multiple counties, the Feds and multiple states.  If this is standard procedure, then great.  But I'm kind thinking back to just couple weeks ago with the hostage situation in the bunker in Alabama.

I also have questions on the media presentation of the information.

So that's not really Doner's body? He planted that evidence to make us think he's done?

And yes... I almost called the tip line when I was watching the Grammy's Sunday night. :(
 
Really thought he was going to wear his scuba tank gear and wait till the home burnt down and harpoon the police... isn't that why he bought the scuba stuff?

Scuba gear ain't exactly fireproof. I think the oxygen tank would explode. Even if he was in a fire retardant suit, he would have been cooked in that blaze.

Got it. Sorry, thought you were being serious.  :) Carry on...

Well, anyway, why DID he buy the scuba gear? I haven't read anything about it.
 
About the scuba gear:

He was trying to boat down to Mexico (I think there was some report of an unsuccessful boat-jacking), I assume the scuba gear was for the last leg.
