Not even transfat?

Terrorist had it his way. Now its the kings turn.

[Spktyr]

From what I’ve heard, nope.

I wonder if Claire Bernish has seen the images of the deceased shooter. He wasn’t “blown up”. There was an explosion close enough to him to kill him, but he was in one piece, as far as I could tell. Lots of damage to his surroundings, which is probably what killed him, but he wasn’t blown up.

My understanding is Muslimes will not touch pigs or dogs!
She would be safe.

Oh my gosh! That’s Claire Bernish?! Looks more like Carl than Claire.

Reportedly the bot survived. Also, an RPG would have required an officer to expose himself to fire it and there may have been issues with getting clearance for the backblast from what I’ve heard.

As far as I’m concerned BLM are terrorists and terrorist deserve what they get.

That decision required 30 seconds or less. Anything more was dereliction of duty.

I think the decision only took 30 seconds. Blame this on the POOR WRITING Of the author in constructing that HEADLINE.

What it was saying was that it took 20 minutes to turn the decision into reality. Someone probably had to go buy some duct tape.

How they got that much C-4 that quickly is an interesting side question.

But but but he didn’t have a fair trial ........................ He would have if they had a Judge Issac Parker around. You’re right he deserved a fair trial. Lets hold one and find him guilty.

To all you apples and oranges people.

If the guy was in his jail cell, awaiting trial and they sent in a robot and blew him up, you would have to agree that would be murder, correct?

Would he have deserved it? Sure. Did he have it coming? Yep. Would we cry any tears? No. BUT it isn’t LEGAL. The scumbag has rights. We have laws. They have to be applied evenly for EVERYONE!

Circumstances matter. Once the police had him contained, there was no need to just execute him. In fact it could be considered murder.

Had he charged them, had he tried to escape, lethal force would be justified, but he didn’t. It was over.

If a sniper had him in their sites and he was just sitting there, contained by authorities, would the sniper be justified in executing him? (Lon Horiuchi ?) I think not. He didn’t have hostages, the threat was contained.

Circumstances had changed. The situation had changed. The attack was over. The police should have waited as long as it took for the situation to resolve itself.

REVENGE is not LEGAL.

[UCANSEE2]

Yeah, I’m going to listen to him.

It's a him ?

[Big Red Badger]

The look on Mr.X,
Opens the sack and says,

“Where’s the Beef ?”

BOOM !

I remember hearing somewhere that they used an “entry device”, a small charge they would normally use for breaching doors.

Most likely true. However, POUND of C-4 sells more newspapers.

[rolling_stone]

he claimed to have bombs...how they could be set of was unknown he might have had the triggering device, he sealed his own fate..

[UCANSEE2]

The author uses a false choice fallacy himself.

I am pretty sure that the author, CLAIRE, is biologically, at least, female.

[cymbeline]

Thank the Lord they didn’t call together a committee to decide on the use of the robot!

[McGruff]

They should have bacon ready in case it’s needed.
