They could have also starved him out. Novel solutions to extreme solutions are often cover stories for the introduction of unwanted techniques. After all, who can argue that the bastard needed killing - this time? But then afterwards, we are left with precedent.

Slippery slope indeed.

The irony of using this method in an environment created by notions of excessive use of force by police is breathtaking.

except, I don’t have a faraday box and I don’t have a lazer so, I’d probably just run like I was 20 again.

Except these would be at your back door, and every window:

The guy shot 11 and killed five.

The shooter/terrorist told the police he and his team planted many IEDs throughout the area.

IEDs are typically detonated by remote cell phone systems so, to Police Knowledge, he could have started to detonate IEDs and killed many more from his well protected position.

The police came up with a creative solution to neutralize his threat with their own improvised explosive device and it worked.

The Dallas Police did a superb job of protecting the public given the information they were dealing with at the time. They deserve a commendation.

you’re not a ‘suspect’ when you’re firing at the cops.

The “alleged shooter” was using an “alleged gun” to fire “alleged bullets”.

God save us from lawyers. Hell will have an over abundance and Heaven will have a shortage. ;-)

I was in Philly that day when the cops burned several blocks down. I’m surprised by how few have heard of this event. The MOVE fire.

If I’d just shot 5 men dead at random?

Yes, I forgot about the IEDs. No one is slighting the cops here. The discussion is about issues beyond this particular incident.
