At the time they deployed the pyro, he hadn’t fired on them in hours. I was listening to some of the web scanners the folks over at ARFCOM had up.

Dorner wasn’t going anywhere. They burned him out rather than wait him out. On purpose.

Then why didn't he surrender peacefully?

Bingo. A lot of people are interested in labeling Dorner as a full blown psychopath, but fact is that he wasn't. He let the boat owner in San Diego go away alive, and told him to get to Mexico in order to retrieve the boat. He also spared the lives of the couple at the first Big Bear cabin, indicating that he had no interest in killing them but that he just wanted their Mazda. He also let the owner of the pick-up truck go alive as well.

My big question to everyone is this: Where was the cop with the bullhorn broadcasting at the cabin Dorner was hiding in? You know, the negotiator type who tells Dorner that his service in the Navy and his service as a Police Officer will be taken into account, and that he will get fair treatment at a trial if he gives himself up. Where was that guy?

Where was he to remind Dorner that if he doesn't shoot, they won't shoot either and that things could end peacefully? The only thing that I have heard from the radio chatter is basically that they wanted Dorner dead no matter what. This police conversation on the radio about "burn that mother******" and all this kind of stuff tells me that Dorner never had a chance of coming out alive. Period.
