And that is what Dorner was, an enemy. Not just a lawbreaker who had to be caught, but an enemy who had to be stopped.

I think you are missing the point. Dorner
was stopped. He was holed up inside that house and was completely surrounded. He wasn't going anywhere. He was contained.
The problem is that the police didn't want him brought to justice to be tried by a jury. They chose instead to press the extrication of their 'enemy' by using not one but seven tear gas grenades that are well known (and euphemistically referred to as "burners") known to cause fires.
The LA Times reported today that law enforcement want to end the confrontation "before night fall". Why? The LA Times story also reported that the police were "running out of options".
If the police attempted good-faith negotiations with Dorner to give up, they probably should consider the public release of the audio for
those conversations.
