Guys - hate to break it to you (unless you all are just messing around), but the Daily Courant is like the Onion - satire. They are the ones that "broke" the news that Sarah Palin was going to go on air with a show on Al Jazeera. The jazz band shooting is made up.
It is a thin difference between unconscious and holed up in a cabin and not a risk to anyone. Plus, we don't know if he was unconscious in the cabin - he may have been wounded in the various firefights, too. (Granted, that's a big assumption based on the previous LAPD examples of marksmanship.)
As far as I know, there were no reports of him shooting when the tear gas was deployed. If they could shoot into the house, he could've shot out. (That's what I was always told - if you can see them, they can see you.)
He was no danger to anyone but the trained professionals up there, who could control the risk of exposure to him.
They had him at their mercy.
Are you sure?Maybe I should have bolded the if. I'm pretty sure LAPD, at this point, will do whatever it takes to save face. Even though, I don't think they could do that.
