Nothing the LAPD does surprises me.

Sadly, I agree with you.
Their sordid history, ripe with corruption, has even made the NYPD look like a better program.
No way on God's green earth would I live in the clutches of the LAPD, or any large metropolitan area.
The mistrust of the LAPD has been duly earned by their behavior.
The burning comment referred to tear gas.
Ya, I have one...
Has any prominent left politician *insert Obama* come out with one word of sympathy/compassion for Dorner's victims?
Yeah - that's what I was thinking. :shrug: Do people really think they'd be so stupid as to actually set the place on fire on purpose after discussing it over the airwaves? Come on - think, people.
Has anyone? Everything I've read here seems to obsess over the suspect and the police, with little or nothing about the victims beyond determining whether they were involved in Dorner's sacking or police officers and therefore "deserved it".Has any prominent left politician *insert Obama* come out with one word of sympathy/compassion for Dorner's victims?

Like I have said on other threads, cops routinely violate people's rights, innocent people, and we should be angry about that. This was not innocent people and his rights were not violated.
Except guilty people have rights too. Such as to due process, no cruel and unusual punishment, and trial by a jury of his peers.
The LAPD burning a man alive in a cabin is a violation of those rights - and is more egregious when his acts were done because of corruption in the LAPD.
Well, he's dead now. It's a risk you take when you wage war on the police.
Reading about this note, his note with the church money and his previous scenario where he ratted out on a cop that kicked someone in the face.... Something smells fishy?“It’s not me!,” Dorner says in the statement. “I have been out of town on vacation and just heard the news that I am blamed for killings I did not and never would commit. This “manifesto” the police are using against me is just a few ideas for a screenplay I am working on with my former colleague Mark Fuhrman. Tell my mom I’m OK. Once again… the cops have it all wrong…. I will soon be in touch.”

**** Chris Dorner. I have no love for cops but you don't go cop hunting unless you've got a death wish.

and the guilty people (person) could have left the cabin or gave up once law enforcement had him cornered. Could have gave up with the first round of tear gas, long before a fire. If they are not guilty, the trail would show that, correct?
Personally, in this case the LE officers saved the tax payers some money. No need for mental evaluation, no need for an expensive trail, no need for the cost of life without parol.
You are assuming the LAPD would have allowed him to surrender. There is the great possibility that the LAPD would have executed him had he tried to surrendered, either in vengeance (not justice) against him targeting other LAPD officers, to prevent him from exposing the corruption within the LAPD, or both.
And no, plenty of innocent people are found guilty all the time, mostly because the government skews the procedures to favor prosecutors over suspects. Not the guilty - merely suspects.
