Here's video of police shouting "burn that motherfucker" and "burn him out" as Dorner was trapped.

[COLGATE4]

323. You're making a bunch of unjustified assumptions.

If you "fall back" far enough to protect every Tom, Dick and Harry on scene you don't have a decent perimeter. And while LEO and other personnel don't 'walk around presenting themselves as targets', human nature being what it is prevails and sooner or later someone forgets and pops up or makes a handy target of himself. If you're dealing with a trained marksman like Dorner, the result of that is another dead cop.

The fact that cops had their adrenaline going and were cheering on the result doesn't mean that they PLANNED to burn him out or deliberately took measures to do so. The behavior may be reprehensible but hardly indicative of anything. People say all kinds of shit in tense situations that they would never otherwise have done.

You've already made up your mind based on hypotheticals designed to fit your preordained scenario. I don't believe the evidence supports that hypothetical.
