Guess he went out with a bang
>>30546184
I thought local, municipal, county, and state police were barred from utilizing explosives to kill people?
>>30546274
>implying the rules don't get tossed out when police start getting shot
>>30546217
So did the five cops, Carlos.
>>30546274
Muh state of emergency
>>30546274
>implying the police obey laws, regulations or are accountable to anyone in any way
>>30546274
They absolutely are.
>>30546274
The explosive didn't kill him, it detonated the shooters own IED.
>>30546274
people are barred from sniping police officers too
>>30546184
It detonated his own bomb, stop spreading bullshit.
Can't beat dem drones

Read the damn article guys.
No sense being uninformed.
>>30546184
>Cops shooting citizens without justification besides "b-but he was reaching for his pocket"
>Shillary-paid paramilitary plan put into action to take spotlight off of her and Comey getting roasted on live TV
>Cops, of course, are the first to take it up to the next level, now BOMBING its own citizens
So where is this gonna end up? Police chief there kept pushing the "Snipers from elevated positions shooting officers in the BACK" rhetoric, and now he wants to go blow up the shooter?
Protip: The body will not be found, or be able to be identified.
So they blew him up with a Goliath basically. I guess you can't burn a parking garage down easily so this was the back up plan.
>>30546366
suspect was already identified
sorry /pol/
>>30546373
>implying they could end the legend this time around either

Just giving zero effort to understand, huh?

You both need to read the article.
"Negotiations broke down and we had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect," he said. "We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot and place a device on it for it to detonate where the suspect was. Other options would have exposed our officers to grave danger. The suspect is deceased, as a result of the detonating of the bomb."
He noted that similar robots have been used in this way by American troops in Iraq.
It's possible this was not the intended purpose of whatever type of robot police used in this case — Singer speculated that this could be a remote-operated surveillance robot that police rigged with a bomb.
Singer said troops in Iraq used duct tape to rig mines to these surveillance robots as a way to kill insurgents, presumably without putting troops in direct contact with them.
>>30546326
>>30546346
The chief is pretty clear about the PD's own explosives doing the killing. Start watching at 1:20

>>30546447
Having said that though, let me point out that if anyone deserved it, it was that idiot.
>>30546445
I read the article, did you?
>remote controlled car with a bomb taped on
>robot
>probably not autonomous in any way
>robot
>>30546184
rip in pieces robo pupper
>>30546488
I read an early article that said the robot placed a bomb on the IED, from CNN.
That article is now gone, (assumablely) because it was inaccurate.
Im a a dumbass please rape my face.
>>30546447
>as a result of the detonating of the bomb
They detonated the dudes bomb, which in result killed him. They didn't strap C4 to the robot and rush him like they were playing Battlefield.
>>30546328
You gigantic autist
>>30546516
you're a moron you know that?
watch the video in >>30546448
, and read the entire article.
Stop picking out the one phrase in the entire article and using it with inaccurate context to justify your belief.
That's what SJWs do, anon. Don't be them. Truth in one hand, Rifle in the other.
>>30546184
That's kind of neat.
>>30546534
no you
>>30546516
>Put bomb on robot
>Detonate it near suspect
>N-n-no it was his own bomb that killed him!
>>30546535
The chief said that he was killed by the bomb. He did not say it was explicitly the Police departments bomb. Local Police Department Internet Defense Force is strong here it seems.
>>30546184
So, where are all the people who usually argue that the 2nd Amendment doesn't cover explosives because they don't discriminate between targets? Apparently this one did.
FIRE IN THE HOLE
>>30546448
>"Gunman was upset about Black Lives Matter"
Makes it sound like a white shooter enraged by black protesters. That really ought to read something like "Gunman was motivated by Black Lives Matter"
>>30546184
mfg activision will sue dallas police
>>30546562
Anon, you cant have that.
That would go against the "peaceful protests" line the media has been shilling.
>>30546562
I read it as
"Gunman was upset that Black Lives Matter doesn't take things far enough"
>>30546567
Kek

Not if DICE does it first.

READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE YOU FUCKING RETARD
>"Negotiations broke down, and we had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect," he said.

>>30546562
They say later that he wanted to kill white people and white officers,
>>30546540
Uuuu
>>30546621
>The suspect is deceased as a result of the detonating of the bomb
did you even read what you just coped? there is a clear difference between the suspect dying as a result of detonating his ED and the police intending to kill him with their bomb.
>>30546184
its like fucking battlefield IRL
>>30546675
>to use our bomb robot and place a device on it for it to detonate where the suspect was
HURRRR
>>30546693
it's assuming bad grammar. He's not specifying whether the "device" was a bomb or a primer and "on it" is "on the robot" or "on the suspect's IED"
Grammatically, he' put an explosive on the robot and blew up the robot.
>tfw shootings in America doesn't even get a column in your country's main newspaper anymore
>>30546693
yes, he was killed as a result of the detonation of a controlled explosive meant to neutralize the suspects explosive device. you niggers are making it sound like the police raped the constitution and did something highly illegal because they used a robot with explosives to kill a suspect, ignoring the fact there was an explosive device present and the robot was meant to neutralize that threat, the suspect dying was a side effect.
>>30546184
THANK YOU BASED ROBOCOP
>>30546560
Goddammit, beat me to it.
>>30546184
how far was he away from the police?
was it marksman tier or easy range?
also what gun was he using?
>>30546560
>0.50$ has been added to your account
>>30546274
Laws are for civilians
>"we had no other choice than to use our bomb robot"
>Police have Allah akbots now
That's pretty rad desu.
>>30546326
>we're not going to send an explosive, we're just going to set one off thats already there!
if you think there is a difference i feel bad for you.
Robot's got the bomb boys!
>>30546502
They're in robovalhalla getting lubejobs now.
>>30547062
If you think there isn't a differene then I'm confused for you.
>>30546217
le goddamit carlos xDDD
Couldn't they have used a drone?
I imagine those things are cheaper than bomb robots.
>>30546775
>the robot was meant to neutralize that threat, the suspect dying was a side effect.
This kind of mental gymnastics stupidity is similar to
>hurr .50bmg is antimateriel so it's banned for civilian use, so we target the "materiel" that they're driving in ;^)
If there is a law that prohibits police from using explosives to kill suspects, then there is no way to argue around it by claiming you were trying to detonate his IED, because judges aren't that stupid. If there is no such law, there is no problem.
>>30549652
those small quadcopter drones can't carry shit for weight
also way harder to get into place than a tracked vehicle
>>30546567
MW1
>>30549801
> Mental gymnastics
Kind of the point of a lawyer, to be honest. But what's the law? And how does it work if you're trying to disarm or dispose of an IED, and the perpetrator will not relocate to a safe distance?
Like, how does the split between the suspects rights and public safety fall?
>>30546812
Great minds anon

>"Tonight, they were wearing normal uniforms — no helmets or heavy vests or anything like that," he tweeted.
>>30546447
I guess they couldn't set the building on fire like they usually do
A City PD isn't Sparta or WW2 Red Army, they can't order SWAT to storm a funnel
>>30551704
And for good reason, quite frankly.
they're not a military force; they exist to enforce the law, which is written by and for corporations and the elites, the actual enemies of the police are the people they actively oppress
They are the actual military arm of the corrupt bureaucratic mafia in washington, whether they realize it or not.
Not sure how to fix the issue, since police are still a necessity for public safety by-and-large. (which is to say, our lawmakers are not completely overrun with corrupt assholes, but that seems to quickly be changing)
>>30551704
>can't order SWAT to storm a funnel
Who needs to storm anything? Either wait a day or so before he starts to dehydrate and get sleepy, or gas him and go in safely. This obsession with ending all engagements as fast as possible regardless of cost is retarded.
