What the police did is wrong, you can't defend it, it doesn't matter how many were killed, it is simply not their right in this country to execute a suspect through arson. There are a thousand other ways that they could have handled this situation, the most effective would have simply been to wait it out, he would have eventually ran out of food.
Here's the scary, part once you let something like this be deemed acceptable, what's to say they won't repeat this type of behavior? Maybe next time the suspect will be falsely accused....

What will you say when it comes out conclusively that his cause of death was a self inflicted gunshot wound and that the police did not execute him by arson, as you are speculating? This guy obviously did not want his day in court. As he said himself, he wanted to kill cops and their loved ones. He knew how this game was going to end. If at any point he wanted to surrender, he could have and should have. As I've said before, if he was walking out with his hands up and they shot him dead, I would be right there with you, but that's not what happened.
