Torching the cabin was wrong.

214. Except you're leaving out the part were they never had any intention to take him alive.

Both video and radio scanner evidence strong supports that they set out to burn him alive. The "shoot out" is a revision of the police were initially talking about: The ammunition inside the cabin going off from the heat of the fire. The only shot from inside the cabin they spoke about at the time - separate from the "shoot out" - was likely the one he'd used to kill himself once he knew he was done for. Instead there's talk amongst the police about using "burners" on the cabin and wondering if the heat will get him in the basement. "Burners" are NOT flashbangs nor are they teargas. Three entirely separate classes of grenades. Burners are a military-grade weapon that are used exactly for what they sound like: Burning things.

Edit: I will clarify myself: The two officers that had been injured/killed may have been involved in an actual shootout with him, but it's also possible that they'd been hit but live ammunition inside the cabin going off from the heat of the fire.
