What do the police use to blow someone up? I know he was wearing body armor, but a head shot would work too.

It’s not like he was in the open where a police marksman with a scoped rifle could take him out from a distance. Anyone who could have shot MXJ, could have been shot by him, or killed with an IED it was thought likely he might have.

Evidently while they were negotiating with him he started mouthing off about having planted IEDs. The Chief of Police conferred with the Mayor and gave the word.

I have heard various amounts of C-4 from just under a pound to 1.75 pounds. That's a lot of boom.

I know there are a lot of people questioning the legality of this use of force, but I have to respect the Chief for saying it was his decision. I think if described correctly in court, this use of force will be deemed legal.
