Obviously neither of the above two posters bothered to listen to the tape or have seen the video. The fire was not started by gas canisters. The tape and the video show that the responding officers set the building on fire intentionally. That is why I say I don't think it's justifiable.
Fine- you believe whatever you all want to believe.
Have a nice day.
I didn't listen to the video until now. Still a good operation, they used fire as a driver instead of gas.
In your assumptions you're forgetting some basic facts. Dorner had just killed another police officer at the cabin and vowed he would not be taken alive. If he had stuck his head in a window, what would they have done? They would have blown his head off. They were cleared to shoot. Dorner was given instructions to walk out of the cabin and surrender, he would not be harmed. He decided against it.
Setting the fire was NOT to kill Dorner. It was to drive him out so he could be captured. Sounds like he killed himself inside once they tore the walls down...typical coward.
All the facts will come out, but it sounds like a good operation. The bad guy gets to have the bad day, not the good guys.
Have a nice day too.
