What difference does that make? He was still armed and threatening to kill more cops. They sent in the robot and gave him the choice to surrender or die. He chose to die. I’m fine with it. Why should the cops give him the chance to kill more when they had a safe alternative? Why does it matter if a cop pushed a button rather than pulling a trigger, other than it didn’t put them at risk?
Sounds to me like you sympathize with the perp more than the cops.
Exactly. Surrender or die.
I get that you (and many others here) are okay with the police taking upon themselves the roles of judge, jury, and executioner.
Johnson admitted he did it. The police certainly saved the nation a lot of drama, and the taxpayers a lot of money.
It is only my personal opinion that it is reprehensible no matter how vile the suspect may be.
