Actually, I also heard on the scanner that the LAPD swat was on scene, so I am not clear yet on exactly who was running things on the ground. There were also reports that the Feds were on scene and/ or involved.
Just answer me this...if it is proven that plan A was to burn the perp out and torch private property, after he was holed up and surrounded by some 2000 or so officers, are you ok with that?
Also what is your opinion of the shootings by the LAPD on innocent civilians the week before while they were on the hunt?
Fire destroys a lot of evidence.
First of all, he had already tried to bolt, and one deputy was killed and another wounded. And he continued to shoot at the LEOs. So I really don't have a problem with the application of lethal force in that situation.

A bunch of morons. Someone needs to switch the entire department to decaf.
