Cops May Have Started Cabin Fire at End of Dorner Manhunt

Audio seems to indicate fire was part of police plan

A six-day hunt for a former policeman suspected of a killing spree in California ended on Wednesday when a cabin in the mountains above LA went up in flames.

A body suspected to be that of Christopher Dorner was found in the ruins of the building. Dorner is suspected to have killed four people in a vendetta against LA police officers and their families; the fourth was an officer from San Bernardino County Sherrif's department killed in a shootout at the cabin on Tuesday night. Another officer was injured.

According to Drudge Report the cops set the cabin of fire, this sets a scary and deadly precedent.
This man was a nut but that does not give the cops the right to burn a man to death. isn't there something about cruel and unusual punishment not being allowed in this country. And of course this won't help quell the conspiracies. And does this mean that any time a person is believed to have committed a murder we can now just burn their house down no questions asked. And who ever taught the cops to use fire as a means of suppression, fire is definately a weapon of war.

This is not how this should have ended.

I fully agree. What he did was horrendous and my prayers go out to those families.

But for a man that is supposedly frustrated with police brutality it is a real sad way for this story to end.

I should have started that last sentence with, "For a man...", "But connotes an intention that I'm pitting those two ideas against each other, which I'm not at all. A better transition word could have been used there.

To further my argument I had a relative who had to kill a man to save another persons life. He was young and scared so he hid in the basement. The cops didn't know he was innocent and lobed tear gas grenades, they don't start fires. In the future are they just going to burn houses down even when they don't have all the answers. This is not good and those cops should be prosecuted for unnecessary force. BTW I used to respect the cops I have family members and friends who either were or still are cops but this does not help their image with anyone.
