Thank you for your post and yes, of course... I would have been fine had Dorner been killed in the running gun battle. In fact, I would probably never have questioned a thing had I not heard the scanner stuff with my own ears. It gave me pause and deep concerns about due process and private property rights in the long view of things with Obama and Holder in charge. We have a government putting out official government documents describing Tea Party people, gun owners and even our own military as potential terrorists for God’s sake!! Yes, I am very nervous about creeping fascism.
Cripes, this was a local sheriff's department in the face of a running gun battle where one deputy had already been killed - by a man with a long trail of death and violence behind him. It has NO bearing on creeping fascism under those circumstances. Just as you don't have to wait for due process if someone is shooting at you to resort to lethal force in return, neither should the SBSD in that situation.
