Maybe I have it all wrong?
Dorner gets fired from LAPD after numerous suspensions ( fighting other officers, negligent discharge of firearm, harrassing another officer, and finally the kicking incident ) He loses the appeal to get his job back.
He then responds by killing a cop, and the child and her fiance of the attorney that WAS ON HIS SIDE trying to help him get his job back.
Dorner holds people hostage while hiding in their home from the police.
Dorner opens fire on several Game Wardens on the road near that cabin. Later shoots and kills a deputy and wounds another deputy.
So tell me, if the police shouldnt have used lethal force to stop Dorner from killing and kidnapping the citizens of this country, - WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM LOSING HIS JOB - could you fine fellows please describe for me what the more appropriate response should have been?
