I think this is a whole like of discussion worth having, and separate from the emotion of the Black Lives Matters insurrection we are seeing. Not sure this is terrorism, seems more like violent insurrection against the government.
You’re right. Time was on the side of the cops. Them not waiting him out was a major mistake. Bombing him to death stinks of cover-up, shutting him up permanently. They should’ve gassed him or immobilized him some other way.
The shooter had a bomb with/near him. Shooter was not cooperating with the officers. Remote robot simply detonated the bomb.
“use bombs to kill people instead of negotiating and waiting out people is surreal”
the police negotiated for hours with the insane shooter, but the negotiations “broke down” when the shooter started shooting again, and that was when they sent the robot in.
would it have been better to have had a few more cops killed trying to personally apprehend the insane shooter or perhaps to have had a smarter robot armed with a firearm instead of a bomb?
After 2+ hours of engaging this guy, the police wisely decided to risk no more police lives AND to save Texas taxpayers millions of dollars in prosecuting him and waiting decades before giving him the needle, a far too humane way to go.
Bombs away, Mo FO!
They sent in the bomb because no doubt the shooter had a great defensive position. What are you going to do with a guy in a elevated position that has a very defensible as well as a great offensive position?
They didn’t want to lose another 5 cops. A no brainer.
A discussion worth having? To save the nasty, wasted, sinful, wretched life of the racist terrorist who may be connected with Islam? The only reason NOT to kill him would be to gain info. Why should any LEO risk their life to save that ahole’s life? The problem is not “miltiarized police”, the problem is BLM, Islam and those in the gov who promote, sponsor and fund those two.
There was no way he was going to “negotiate” with the police. He had already expressed his desire to kill as many cops as possible. I think it’s a tool that was perfectly used in this instance. JMO....
They tried negotiation for hours. He decided he didn’t want to negotiate and kept opening fire on cops.
How long should the cops have to be shot at before they can take steps?
Happened before in Philly, the Philly cops dropped a bomb on black radicals, blew them up and burned down the whole damn block too.
Didn’t they see any value in holding him under siege till he got hungry and thirsty enough to surrender? Or how about sleeping gas or tear gas?
The thug could be interrogated for connections and then prosecuted and executed when found guilty.
The connections are so-o-o-o-o valuable. Who else was involved? Who else are potential murderers from his groups?
I think law enforcement may be too squeemish to pursue interrogation and then follow up leads.
Maybe they would rather spend their time confiscating Grandpa’s shotgun and hand searching Grandma at the airport. Far less threatening, and they get quite a charge out of the feeling of authority and paid at the same time.
Besides, perhaps they wouldn’t want to offend a partially black man in the white house nor the wife of a slick snake, who have the agenda to divide the people of America by race so as to weaken and enslave them.
