I don't think we want the police killing easily or making decisions based on emotion because it makes them judge, jury and executioner. I'm not saying the police were wrong in this instance but it doesn't look good for them to use an incendiary device to burn a suspect out because, until any of us are convicted, regardless of how bad it looks were still not guilty by law.
What it really amounts to is that it would have been better if they had shot him after he opened fire on them, and before he entered the cabin. Either way, the end result is the same, but the public would have an easier time digesting it. If someone was shooting at me, you can bet your ass I'd try my damndest to kill him.
