re: #267 Glenn Beck’s Grand Unifying Theory of Obdicut

Given the circumstances, it seems like at least the best decision out of a list of bad decisions to try and get him.

As long as they were dead certain that house was empty besides Dorner himself.

I do wonder if they have specific guidelines in their ability to draw out a suspect who has taken sanctuary in a house/building. Can they set it on fire? Did they exhaust all options before making that decision (considering they were having a shootout with him, I’d say so)?

I’m sure somewhere an entrepreneurial civil liberties lawyer could find a legal ramification of going that route, but again, lesser of various evils and sacrificing more police officers in attempts to get him vs. just burning it down.
