293. That's exactly how I feel

Wed Feb 13, 2013, 02:33 PM

"This is what happens when cops have a summary execution mentality. Mistakes can be made and innocent people can be killed."

I have ZERO sympathy for Dorner. In my opinion, he killed two innocent people just to "get even" with Mr. Quan. That's the epitome of evil.

However, that doesn't give LE an excuse to shoot up any truck that just looks like the one Dorner was driving.

I was watching the live feed yesterday. When some newscaster mentioned LE was considering the use of tear gas or "flash-bang" devices, I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, that LE had decided to torch the cabin. That cabin was owned by someone who had nothing to do with Dorner's murderous rampage. That cabin was also in the middle of a forest. I was really concerned about the possibility of a wildfire. I don't know if that area is in a drought, but in my part of the country, conditions are so dry that a single discarded cigarette can start a massive fire. Had they lost control of that fire, a lot more LEOs, firefighters, and innocent people could have been injured or killed.
