So in other words, to you, the cops don't have the right to counter lethal force in kind. They should have just waited for Dorner to kill a few more of them, I guess.
Do you understand just how absurd your argument is in the face of the facts as we understand them today? That Dorner had killed a deputy and wounded another while trying to shoot his way out of the very structure in question? He was not passively holed up in that cabin. He had actively killed from it.
Your arguments fly in the face of basic concepts of self-defense, whether it be civilians or LEOs.
There is reasonable speculation that the cop killed that day was killed in friendly cross fire. I don’t know. Neither do the cops. If you read many of the news accounts carefully, they state that the cop died that day of gunshot wounds, and do not attribute the shooting to anyone in particular.
If an inquest has occurred and the caliber in question is determined to be exclusively Dorner’s, then we’ll have a new bit of information.
And, no, I did not say cops can’t use lethal force. I have been saying that non-lethal options probably existed that offered the option of Constitutional Due Process, and were apparently not exercised in favor of a pre-planned murder.
“Burn The M*****-F***er Down!” Coming to a house near you soon!
I dont know who let these trolls in here, but they are out in force since the Dorner situation.
Seriously? You think the LEOs couldn’t simply hunker down behind bullet proof barricades and waited him out? They had him surrounded. Where was he going to go?
