I was at first, but then I thought about it. You can't take a knife to a gun fight. You can't take a BB gun up against a Glock. You can't take a Glock up against an AK-47 or .223 rifle.

YOU GOTTA USE A BOMB BLAST TO TAKE DOWN A MASS MURDERER WEARING LEVEL 4 BODY ARMOR!

(If the entire thing isn't just a 'false flag', that is)

Not as long as I breathe

However, shooting cops will be.

Looks like you’re about to have the same disappointing FR experience I did.

FR is very divided along the lines of police actions and vaccinations. Get your flame suit on.

If the robot was developed and built by white people, then Dallas, we have a problem.

One cop murdering thug dead. By bullet or bomb what difference does it make. The video should have done it.

The only reason to not wait him out is that he still posed a threat to other lives.
I assume he did : had a protected position with a large field of fire on civilians.

"He needed to be taken alive. "

Why? So tax payers can pay for a lengthy trial along with a defense lawyer, and an even longer appeal process? So we can let the liberals use him to push to get yet another cop killer out of prison? So he could spend every day in the prison system as a hero to the rest of the cons, be fed, receive free medical treatment, watch TV, lift weights, get regular visits with his girlfriends, family and homies, not to mention the other court ordered rights granted these scumbags? There was no guarantee any info would have been forthcoming from him anyway, so I'd said the best thing that could have happened...did. He'll never murder another innocent person ever again.

“Disturbed”? More “thought-provoked”.

On the one hand, I would have enjoyed seeing them use an RPG instead. Or a claymore, as the mental madman was clearly a danger to much more than just himself.

On the other hand, if they had approached him with a flame-thrower, only a true madman would have chosen to not surrender in preference to being suddenly changed into a large chunk of charcoal.

Among other choices, but why is anyone attempting to monday-morning-quarterback this? It’s over. It’s done. Now let’s get on with figuring how to keep Obammy from changing this into his normal poor-black-child-killed-by-whitep-cops and then another attempt to blame it all to how we need to outlaw all firearms now!

The Philly Police used a bomb on suspects in 1985 and burned down an entire city block.

Yes, I remember and Mayor Rizzo killed 11 people (5 children) in the fire that burned down 65 houses.

If you think this is good police work I feel sorry for you.

I see few complaining on the left or right about Obama’s use of drones in the middle east....

“Explosives are an area weapon, and it’s hard for me to reconcile their use with law enforcement...”

I agree. The police should have negotiated with him for many more hours, which would have given him the opportunity to shoot more people, set off remote control bombs etc.

... the police are always in the wrong with some people, no matter what they do.

Did the bomb robot have a transmitting camera like the police are starting to wear?

Then we could see the eyes of terrorist in realizing he was soon to be deservedly blown to bits.

Who was his community organizer? Isn't this analogous to his imam, preacher, grand kleagle, etc.?
