If that's the case then why, as noted elsewhere on the thread, did the live-TV interviews of residents have them expressing relief, not that Dorner was dead, but that the police wouldn't hurt them?

I'm confused, did the housekeepers he tied up at gunpoint say that? Or how about the guy he pointed a rifle at and whose car he stole? Did he say that? Or how about the woman whose cabin he holed up in and shot at the police from? Did she say that?

I don't know; I'm relating what was stated in another post. It's still a valid question: if the residents were expressing concern for their own health/safety, at the hands of the police, it indicates something is wrong with our police, does it not?

I would venture to suggest that it is the difference between a "law enforcement officer" and a "peace officer" -- the former is about force, pure and simple; the latter is is about peace. (And I believe that 'peace' is not the absence of war, but the presence of Justice.)

Could it be that the Law Enforcement Officer is so completely disconnected from the concept of Justice that the people are beginning to realize their fear of them?

To begin with, the couple who Dorner tied up were not housekeepers, but the home owners who had come to clean up after the snow.
