Did police really strap a bomb to a bomb robot and send it in to kill this guy ?
Isn't that a bit outside of ROE/SOP ? Are we using killbots now ?
(Article at link has automatic video)
Yup. 1st suspect killed with a robot.

Hard to believe they could not have sniped this guy.
Wasn’t he on TV at one point?
If a cameraman could get a bead on him.....
Following Democrat anti Second A “logic” maybe we should ban people named Johnson since in my experience so many I locked up were named Johnson.
Probably attached a flashbang and two possible results
1) they got it close to him
2) he tried to attack the robot and got to close.
personally I’d like it if the robot shoved the flashbang somewhere painful
Here is the more important question.
What religion was this clown?

“Did police really strap a bomb to a bomb robot and send it in to kill this guy ?”
No, they used it to send in an “explosive device” to kill the guy. That’s not a bomb, its a purposeful device designed to do exactly what it did. While it did cause this guy’s death, he had time to tell his story before he died, so in the traditional description, it wasn’t a bomb.

We can hope they did.
Better than sending in a human to take out a non human.
The terrorist Black Supremicist could have been taken out for under $20 dollars to buy gasoline, glass bottles, detergent, and rags. Perfect example of government waste.
Not unhappy they did this but it is going to cause more problems from here. I guess it does not really matter how someone is killed.
“At that point, police sent in a remote vehicle and detonated a bomb – ultimately killing him.
“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. Other options would have exposed our officers to great danger” said Brown.”
Just wait for it.
It really bothers me. I had hoped they’d take him out by a sniper or ambush or related police actions.
This robot thing is...very unsettling.
Swat teams nearly always have grenades on them!
It wouldn't take a genius to strap a grenade to a robot with a string attached and then pull the pin when the robot was close enough to the target.
I'm not sure what this means. Does it mean anger "against" BLM or anger in solidarity with BLM?
It looks like a change of the ROE/SOP. Obama's sons use a gun, the police use a bomb.
The answer is yes and yes.
Clearly the police were justified in using deadly force. If he was killed by a bullet, why is that "better" than his being killed by a bomb? Doesn't matter to him, I would guess, he's dead either way.
Sure doesn't matter to me...
Next time call me. Why waste a good robot on a racist scumbag. Will personally deliver the bomb.
Not familiar with bullet proof vests, under what circumstances (close range, type ammo, etc) does this usually happen?
It was a drone.
Obama uses airborne drones.
This was a groundborne drone.
No difference, really.
Expect something similar when they come for your guns.
It’s a drone that can’t fly.
