Bad idea and portends even more militarized police.

Shoot 11 police officers and kill 5 and you will be amazed at what they are willing and able to do to you

fACTS are essential....they only have speculation...
Let’s stay calm and not become unhinged. That is what the left wants and needs

If you had a robot bomb and you had to get the suspect, would you use it? Or would you try to shoot it out with the guy?

There’s really not that much difference between shooting them and blowing them up. Really so long is the person is an active threat I don’t have a problem with it. Our biggest issue with cops these days is them going to deadly force without a threat, when there’s a threat screw it. I mean let’s face it, if you were in that situation and had access to a robobomb you’d use it right? So why shouldn’t they. Never fault anybody for using the tools available.

Why would the robot be armed with a bomb and not a gun?
To: Reno89519
Weaponized Drones used by .gov and other agencies, Federal, state and local is the next front.

But don’t use the “wrong” chemicals to execute a child murderer.

Someone set him up the bomb for great justice?

Oh, we’ll be wringing our hands about it in 5 or 10 years when they start doing it to the Cliven Bundys of the world, but by then it will be too late.

It was probably either the police/robot or the shooter who was not at negotiating stage. What should they have done?

Because there's no background check to carry a bomb?

Clearly we can all agree that someone in the PD played a lot of Call of Duty who thought of this idea. And, it worked.
To: Trump20162020
Like using a sniper when he can’t get a shot.

Under certain circumstances police snipers are authorized to shoot suspects from a considerable distance without warning. Where is this a whole different kettle of fish?
I do have to give the Dallas PD credit for originality.
To: Trump20162020
As far as I know there is no legal specifics on method or manner of justifiable use of deadly force by law enforcement.
I recall where a police cruiser has been used to strike an assailant in order to stop the perp that is about to shoot the officer driving that vehicle.
