In reply to the discussion: Audio catches cops shouting ‘Burn this motherf*cker!’ during Dorner siege [View all]truthisfreedom
(23,539 posts)If they would have simply sent in the tear gas rounds and NOT screamed all of the things they screamed, they could have had their way and not been stuck in this tenuous situation. I personally don't give a crap what cops do to other cops or former cops if some sort of justice seems to be served. This is not a typical situation. If this had been a non-cop who hadn't attacked cops being burned to death, I'd have a strongly different opinion, but Dorner sealed his fate with his damning manifesto and his attacks on the police.
There's one more thing to think about here. Dorner probably had a chance to walk out with his hands in the air, but he didn't make that choice.
I have a feeling that all of this attention being placed on tear gas rounds that can start fires is going to change police policy all over the country with regard to what can and can not be done when dealing with a suspect inside a home. Obviously the tear gas rounds that cause fires are designed to cause fires, and up until now, that has not been known to the general public.
