LAPD officers shot and injured two women unconnected to Christopher Dorner during the massive search for the alleged killer. Their attorney condemned the shooting as "unacceptable," according to the LA Times.

"...It looked like the police had the goal of administering street justice and in so doing, didn't take the time to notice that these two older, small Latina women don't look like a large black man...We trust that the LAPD will step up and do the right thing and acknowledge that what they did was unacceptable, and we'll deal with it," said attorney Glen T. Jonas.

The officers open fire with no warning, Jonas told CBS Los Angeles.

The two women, Emma Hernandez, 71, and her daughter Margie Carranza, 47, were delivering newspapers in a truck that matched the description of Dorner's. Police fired more than 15 shots at the truck in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue in Torrance, CA.

Carranza is stable and Hernandez remains in critical condition. The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on leave.

The shootings have struck a chord in parts of the Los Angeles community sensitized to police violence.

The L.A.-based blog Hip Hop and Politics had this to say: "TV news stations in LA are warning people not to drive pick up trucks in LA and to obey all traffic laws or rick being shot by police who are all stressed out and tense.. This is happening right now.. Its no exaggeration… I don’t care whats going on, we pay officers to be have professionally under the most stressful situations.."

In a radical analysis of the LAPD's record of violence, the blog Counterpunch argues that "it is useless to oppose the violence of occupation, or the torture made so palpable in Zero Dark Thirty, without opposing the occupation itself, of Iraq, of Afghanistan, of South Central L.A. Yes, something similar could be said of the LAPD, and here we begin to grasp why this most violent of institutions has so rigidly resisted change: because its historically brutal and terroristic tactics, the daily oppression and humiliation exerted most directly at poor black and brown Angelinos, are merely symptoms of the LAPD’s structural function."
