For some people that is what happens. Dorner somehow becomes a victim in all of this. But, for me it doesn't turn him into a martyr. I can believe both parties are terribly guilty. I can not like the tactics that LE uses even if it's against guilty people. Who is to say they won't use these tactics against innocent people if this is allowed to stand without a challenge?

Must've been group wishful thinking then... jannyk Feb 2013 #2
Total Bullshit, they had no intention of taking Dorner alive, they torched that house on purpose. DrewFlorida Feb 2013 #3
Yup, just like Janet Reno had the Branch Davidian compound torched. Archae Feb 2013 #5

Did anyone believe he was going to be taken alive by that point? muriel_volestrangler Feb 2013 #6
there is some disagreement as to whether there was a firefight or not.. frylock Feb 2013 #36
First, you were not there so can't say that. Second, he was a horrid murderer. So good riddance. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #8
They have audio tape of the police talking about burning him out. lob1 Feb 2013 #13
Audio on Youtube bl968 Feb 2013 #30
What did they use to "burn him out"? Have you investigated? Were you there? Did he surrender when RBInMaine Feb 2013 #54
were YOU there? frylock Feb 2013 #56
can we agree that he was a horrid murderer.. frylock Feb 2013 #37
You were not there. They say it was not intended. If a fire started, he could have come out. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #53
do you understand what a PYROTECHNIC tear gas grenade is? frylock Feb 2013 #55
video tape exists of their intent, so one doesn't have to be there SemperEadem Feb 2013 #48
Whoopsie. Snort lonestarnot Feb 2013 #4
They should man up. Tell the world... DollarBillHines Feb 2013 #7
If the place was on fire, he could have come out with his hands in the air. So buh-bye to him. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #9
I wonder, if he had walked out, what would have happened. DollarBillHines Feb 2013 #14

Ugh, enough of the idiotic lynching references. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #28
I disagree. I believe in the rule of law and that does not include Mojorabbit Feb 2013 #40
They killed him because he was shooting at everyone who tried to arrest him. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #41
I believe he committed the crimes he was accused of. Kalidurga Feb 2013 #31
