I don't get the expectation to "wait him out." He was known as armed and for having a vendetta against police officers. I don't expect the police force to continually risk their lives for one of someone who is trying to kill them.
Even if you believe Dorner was the victim of a corrupt department, instead of killing people responsible, he killed the innocent children of a person responsible. When you run the tally of his revenge, he seems to have killed only innocent people and not anybody responsible for his firing.
