Media Covers for Cops in Chris Dorner Standoff

While media acceded to police demands not to provide direct details of stand-off w/Christopher Dorner, I used PD scanner transmissions to expose orders to burn his cabin hideout w/him inside. TL begins at bottom.

    San Bernadino sheriffs and local LA @abc7 also won't say cops deliberately torched cabin: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/inland_empire&id=8989757 …"cabin that caught fire.."

    Has teargas ever been referred to as "the burner?" Sheriffs appear to have intended to start the fire but media is claiming mere use of gas.

    Fire & sheriffs trying to determine material of basement floor & ceiling, wood or concrete. They seem to assume #Dorner is there. #manhunt

    Given what I just heard, question is if sheriffs and fire are trying to burn Christopher #Dorner alive. Live ammo still going off.

    Police trying to impose media blackout on Dorner standoff. I'm not picking up anything too interesting from scanners beyond SWAT airlift.
