It was reported last night that he was shooting at them and threatened to kill more cops. Are people really questioning whether cops have the right to defend themselves from being murdered? Or are they just for some inexplicable reason all up in a tizzy over *how* dangerous shooters who pose an immediate threat die, even though they end up just as dead?

Suspect?
If they are caught in the act and continue the offense, then they are guilty by act of continued action.
After that the cops are simply abating a dangerous nuisance.

Why would the robot be armed with a bomb and not a gun? Bombs are harder to dodge. If the perp had seen a robot with a gun, he would have moved around to make it more difficult for the robot to aim, while shooting at the robot.

Although I am frequently critical of the way police handle certain situations, I fully support their decision, here.
Once you initiate shooting at the police, anything they use short of tactical nukes is fair game.

What if robot came around the corner and said “I see you, drop the gun or I will blow up right now.”

give me a RC car, some duct tape, a long piece of string, and a hand grenade and I can replicate this event.
Big whoop.

I didn’t know they had remote bombs.
I wonder how big of bombs they have.
I wonder what else they have.

Why would the robot be armed with a bomb and not a gun?An explosives blast has a small radius. A stray gunshot could travel a mile or more.

There is, as you say, not much difference between shooting them and blowing them up. Dead is dead. And lethal force is lethal force.
It should be scrutinized as carefully as any other use of force.

“Really so long is the person is an active threat I don’t have a problem with it.”
Exactly. If he is actively shooting at you and deadly force is authorize and warranted then who cares what kind of deadly force it was? As long as the collateral damage was not high.

It’ll be a short hop to justifying Predator + Hellfire strikes inside the US. This is terrible.
Totally lawless government plus military police weapons and tactics — the end of the Republic is nigh.

What do you do if you are eating supper and a robot comes up to your house and says “Turn over all your guns or I will blow you up right now.”?
