Dallas police used bomb robot to kill shooting suspect
By James Rogers Published July 08, 2016 FoxNews.com
Dallas police used an explosive device attached to a robot to kill a suspect in the coordinated sniper attack that killed five officers Thursday, in what experts say is a first for law enforcement.
In a press conference Police Chief David Brown explained that the robot was deployed on the second floor of El Centro College in downtown Dallas following a standoff early Friday.
“We cornered one suspect and we tried to negotiate for several hours - negotiations broke down, we had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect,” he said. “We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot and place a device on its extension for it to detonate where the suspect was,” he said.
Brown explained that “other options” would have exposed the police officers to great danger.
The police chief confirmed that the suspect was killed by the bomb’s detonation, noting that reports the suspect killed himself were inaccurate.

They block cell phone reception, police radios and emergency calls.
Seems like a double edged sword. I’m sure the wounded officers that were saved appreciated EMS and the police maintaining radio transmission.
If he’s got cellphone-triggered bombs planted, what would YOU do?
Blow his ass to hell by any means available.
Just so we're clear. :)
Get your panties out of your crack and calm down.
Me? I’m going to bed.
Good job, Dallas PD. Prayers sent to all involved.

Change your Manpends before you hit the hay, hey? LOL! :)
I was thinking of Ron White’s version. “If you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. That’s our policy.”
>One question ... Were you there?
*THAT* has any bearing on how our Republic and justice system should operate?
This was a ‘take OUT’. Sit safely behind some walls and let Mr. Roboto bring ya a ‘nice present’. There he went, along with any other information he could have provided (aka location of bombs he was talking about, accomplices, who/where/how).
And, when the Right becomes the boogeyman du jour, and the same tactics are used...Oh, that’s right, they WERE (Waco, Ruby Ridge).
Here’s an idea: Don’t like the job description, don’t take the job....or QUIT.
F* pathetic how ‘consistent’ some (C) here turn out to be. “Govt Overreach”, unless it’s *my* SS/MediXYZ. “Militarization of police”, except for ‘war on (some) drugs’. “Freedom\Liberty\Choice”, except...
Yes, you told me not to look at post 297, but you knew FULL WELL I would! I seem to remember it from way back when.
And the Comedian - I used to love that guy.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to attach those links.
No. It has bearing on your knowledge of what was going on at the moment they decided to carry out the action. You weren't there ... you don't know the situation.
Yeah for get the dr and Meds thing too you know it’s been a hell of a week scratch that 7.5 years
