Honestly, I thought they would have waited him out. After a week with no food he would surrender.
I thought the gun fight was a way to get his ammunition spent.
I wanted the bastard in jail for 50 years.
Maybe LA cops didn’t want him talking.
“I wanted the bastard in jail for 50 years.”
Really? A firing squad the week after his arrest would have made me happy.
He's a LEO. It would be known that he was one, and he'd be dead at the hands of a convict in no time. Also, LEOs don't like having their own in the jails, even if he is a murderous psychopath, because he would know certain inside information that could be used against the detention officers.
As far as Waco, IMR, I thought the very same thing. Difference here, however, is that Dorner was a murderer and a leftist thug. In a way, he deserved to die. Also, he was killed by local law enforcement and not by the Feds. If an armored vehicle drove up and pumped napalm into the cabin knowing full well that there were hostages, we could compare this to Waco.
The Branch Davidians fired on ATF idiots within their legal right to protect their property. No one died in the initial engagement, but the Feds persisted and killed dozens of innocent women and children along with men who were protecting their right to assemble, their right to practice a religion, and their right to protect their property.
The comparisons are fleeting.
