Our legal system specifies the presumption of innocence for Dorner. How about giving that same presumption to the officers involved?
Respect is given when respect is earned.
As an organization, the law enfiorcement agencies "in toto" do not deserve much respect here, based on shooting at innocent people, demonstrably bad and unsafe firearms handling, and many other demonstrable acts.
To think that they gave "presumption of innocence" to Dorner is a stretch.
With their collective credibility nonexistant, it's not a stretch to believe that they did not suddenly become model citizens when they had him cornered.
The entire incident is a revolting mess.
