Dorner had NO where to run. My gripe is that they burned down the cabin when there was NO need to,
I don’ know the area, or the weather out there.
Or the cabins.
Considering hwo confused the reports were coming out of there, the tactical situation would have been more so.
They probably could have used a heavy round to punch through a wall and nail him.
All they had to do was localise where he was shooting from and riddle the area with heavy fire.
I have a feeling that SBSD had tried to run the show and when the other jurisdictions showed up, they tried to showboat and there was a complete breakdown of control.
Obviously, smoking building kinda shows a loss of control.
The only situation in which I can envision a smoking building being the proper outcome is in an artillery strike.
