That you refer to an attempt at a peaceful resolution as wasted speaks volumes.
They didn't try for a peaceful resolution, they never tried for an arrest, their first thought was kill on sight, or even if you don't actually see him shoot anyone in a truck that you think might possibly be him.
It's clear from what I have heard on the tapes with mine own ears, and what I have been told by a FReeper who listened live (and I acknowledge that is a limited picture of the scene) the shooting had stopped by the time the SWAT team showed up and promptly set it ablaze without any attempt at contact, verifying there were no hostages or any other less lethal action.
At that point they knew he was wounded due to the visible blood splatter they observed when they pried open the front door.
No attempt to negotiate, straight to KILL KILL KILL BURN HIM BURN HIM!!!
Not even a count of five to come out with your hands up.
I don't know the lower threshold of time, but it isn't zero. I don't know the upper threshold of time, successful negotiations can take hours or in rare cases days.
They didn't even give him a count of five ultimatum, let alone any negotiation.
Flat out instant application of lethal force.
Judge, jury, executioner and crematorium operator in one handy hair-trigger package.
Maybe having that as the gold standard for police conduct comforts you, but it scares the bejeebers out of me.
lol....
Between each round fired, they all should have stopped and said, "Hey Chris lets talk about this"...We'll send in some tacos and coffee....Come on Chris"
As if this AH didn't know he was going to the joint for life x4 and would be a target for every psycho lumberhead in the joint...Hehehehehe..
Especially since it came from your imagination and keyboard.
They didn't try for a peaceful resolution
The fugitive had 6 days to surrender peacefully, didn't he?
the shooting had stopped by the time the SWAT team showed up
Then what evidence do you have that the POS was still alive? Awfully presumptuous of you, isn't it?
they knew he was wounded due to the visible blood splatter they observed
Another presumption on your part. How could anyone know the condition of the fugitive? How could anyone besides the bleeder know whose blood it was?
No attempt to negotiate
Dorner had 6 days to negotiate, peacefully surtrender and get due process. He didn't, he chose to fire on police and die at their hand. His defenders and apologists are just as stupid as he was.
the gold standard for police conduct
Your mindless allegations are proof of your bleeding heart liberalism.
