I find it shocking and frightening that the domestic Rules of Engagement to be so loose that the police can destroy life and property without positive ID they had no idea if there were hostages or if he was even in there for sure

ZERO regard for citizens property

IIRC arent the ROE's in a war zone more strict ? somethings seems a little backwards here in bizarro world

the Marines at Haditha Iraq were indicted by congressman Jack Murtha and convicted by the media for less than this they spent several years in jail before being found not guilty and released

In that case, the Marines swept a house that gunfire was coming from as a roadside bomb killed their own, they risked their lives sweeping the house room to room saving the supposed innocents in the house and killed the guilty. One of the "innocents" from inside the house protested to a media embed following the unit and caused the Marines about 6 years in the slammer awaiting trial

Excellent points on the domestic rules of engagement. Obama put tougher ROE on our soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq to protect the homes where known AQ and Taliban were shooting from.

Thought you might be interested in the timeline and contents from my tweets while listening to scanner yesterday:

The reports of shots fired ‘from the house’ came within seconds of reports of ammo exploding from fire. So those reports could have been ammo exploding from fire and not shots fired.
Media also passed along that the police wanted everyone to ‘stop tweeting’...lol...like Dorner was sitting around reading twitter...LoL. The nutter cop killer was holed up in the house with near about 2000 cops bearing down on him. I doubt he had time to check Twitter. He was also probably hit earlier in the street shoot out because I also heard reports of blood in house and some concern about something by the door when the armored vehicle began tearing down the walls of the cabin.
