Was he surrounded? I don’t think they even knew for sure.
To me the question is how many more innocent people needed to die just for the sake of bringing him in alive? He had no desire to be brought in alive, just to cause as much mayhem as he could as he went down.
I’m not in favor of burning buildings, but neither am I in favor of leaving LEOs stationed there as sitting ducks for Dorner to pick off.
Reports were that they had almost 2000 law enforcers stationed in and around the area armed to the teeth. They had armored vehicles and were tearing down the walls of the cabin. It doesn’t sound like they were being ‘picked off’ once Dorner had holed up in the cabin. I understand what you and others are saying completely and cheered the cops on too. Just throwing these thoughts out too as food for thought. We have a regime that is acting outside of the law on every level of government right now. The fish rots from the head down..a cautionary tale.
