I'm not supporter of Dorner by any stretch of the imagination, but it does seem the LEOs were REALLY anxious to incinerate that place. How did they KNOW only Dorner was in there? Was proper due diligence accomplished first? My concern is the "authorities" are now emboldened to pull this tactic repeatedly in the future... will it only be against someone like Dorner, or will the definition of "immediate threat to the safety of others" be broadened to include anyone who voices opposition to the ruling elite?
Deadly force is authorized to stop someone fleeing from a murder rape etc.
That is what the law says.
Dorner murdered a woman and her guy.
They were unrelated to the beef he had with teh LAPD other than the woman was the daughter of a cop.
Dorner was fleeing prosecution of that and showed a willingness to shoot first.
People are forgetting his innocent victims here in a rush to condemn the officers.
There are no heroes in this story.
There were several departments/jurisdictions on scene.
Quoted up to 2000 officer sin teh area plus at least one SWAT team.
But whose SWAT team?
It would be whoever the SWAT belonged to that one should question about the incendiaries.
