You won't see much criticism but the LAPD looks a bit like the Keystone Kops. They found the burned out vehicle the perp was driving and they set up a command post without checking the neighborhood. They had the guys who check hunting licenses assigned to patrol the area most likely to be used by the cop killer and a Deputy and when a conservation officer engaged the perp in a gun fight they had no hope of backup and meanwhile the LAPD held press conferences and coffee runs and worried about airport security. It seems the perp was holed up with hostages a mile away from the command post and when the guy was located they fired tear gas canisters into the house knowing that it would result in a fire when they had no idea if hostages were in the cabin.
