Total Bullshit, they had no intention of taking Dorner alive, they torched that house on purpose. DrewFlorida Feb 2013 #3

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

What? "The burn" was discussed on the police scanner!!! rocktivity Feb 2013 #16

I believe he committed the crimes he was accused of. Kalidurga Feb 2013 #31
My problem isn't that the PD burned the cabin down on purpose rocktivity Feb 2013 #51
