(6,810 posts)Problem is, he/she claims it's "an internal thing" that they learned through "experience" but I can find zero zilch nada references to it outside of this incident. None, whatsoever. I AM trying to give them the benefit of the doubt in finding corroborating evidence for their claim. All I can find is that "burners" are a class of military-grade grenades that are separate from teargas in that they are used to... well... burn things. There's a type of teargas that can ignite fires. Evidence is mounting that the police used this weapon SPECIFICALLY to burn the cabin down with Dorner in it, but burners are by all I can find a completely different class of weapon. Either they used this particular type of teargas, or they used a "burner" which they kept saying in the audio recordings. Either way, they wanted that cabin to burn with Dorner in it and they chose a weapon to do just that.
But because he killed people he needed... nay, DESERVED... to be burned alive. Though, again from the recordings, he may have actually shot and killed himself before the burn began. I'm beginning to suspect the "shootout" was after the burn was eating through the cabin and setting off the ammo in it, hitting officers indiscriminately.
