Imagine you spent a solid hour or two talking to the police, barricading yourself in the best fatal funnel you can find. You've set IED's all over the building so that when you get rushed you bring the building down killing everyone not just some..

>>30546271
We've had "weaponized robots" for a long time now
I remember seeing a video like 15 years ago of a robot shooting a dude with a shotgun
This is a pretty weird precedent. I've never heard of the police resorting to explosives to outright kill someone they were trying to apprehend. Why not just pump that level of the parking structure full of CS gas and rush the guy? Sure would have been nice to get the main suspect alive so we could ask him questions, guys.
Robots be racis
We need more law enforcement robots.
>>30546271
So the guy was killed/wounded by the breaching charge?
>>30548244
Well, they already had ten of their guys shot and about half of them dead. They probably A) didn't want to risk any more cops getting killed that night and B) really wanted to kill the son of a bitch.
>>30548274
But it was a black robot
>>30546271
>"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,"
So they didn't see the option to wait him out, like how most standoffs do? I guess when you can't burn down the structure you send in the bomb bot.

>>30546280

Dwaine Caraway (former interim mayor of Dallas) said on the radio this morning that the perp asked for a cell phone, and that the cell phone was used to "expire" him.
>>30548620
And this right here is why police get shot. Remember Dorner? Yeah, everyone under 30 in Socal was rooting for him because he harmed fewer innocent people than the police did. Every time the police abuse their power or fail to follow procedure, you're going to alienate a good portion of the population. This event was a direct response to something the police did, but didn't own up to, and it isn't terribly surprising, either.

>>30548847

Good on them, really.
He would have more then likely met a similar fate if he was taken into police custody, now the police don't have to worry about BLM butthurt as much. They get mighty testy when black copkillers "commit suicide while in police custody"
Shooter was a black guy named Micah Johnson. He was a former Army Reservist.
I was the anon who said last night that if you use logic you are right 90% of the time and that this was likely a black, probably ex military or black radical, who sympathized with BLM and wanted to fuck up cops and white people.
I hate being right all the time.

No one disputes right to self preservation if there's no other option, i.e. you're a single civilian defending his home.
But if you're literally a police force with unlimited resources and millions of dollars worth of military equipment, and you've completely surrounded a suspect who's only weapon is a rifle with limited ammunition, it's not unreasonable to ask you to do your job and take the criminal in to be persecuted by the court and not blown to smithereens as retaliation.

>>30549657
The problem in this situation is that they killed someone while they weren't in danger and weren't defending themselves. The vast majority of people are okay with the police using deadly force when they or someone else is in danger. In this case they used deadly force remotely against someone pinned down who wasn't putting them in danger.
>>30549475
He didn't say that. They literally could've just waited the guy out.

Probably pop gas, run in, and hope you don't get shot. What a lot of people don't understand is that SWAT isn't fucking magic, it's called Special Weapons and Tactics for a reason.

>>30549603
>police are innocent
>uniformed soldiers aren't combatants
Nobody's saying they deserved to be shot, or that all police are actively involved in criminal activity, merely that by the virtue of being armed and dangerous, they are not "innocent bystanders". There aren't really any American soldiers that deserved to be blown up in Afghanistan, but to call them innocent because they were attacked by militants is contorting the truth. In the minds of the people attacking these officers, they're the uniformed enemy. And again, it's not like they were unarmed. Every single offficer shot was armed, which makes them a combatant, even if they're not actively fighting. I don't see what's so hard about this.
>>30550270
>>30550290
Rather I should say that you are applying a very wide set of possibilities to what was narrow set of circumstances and, yes, what I would call justifiable actions in that narrow set of circumstances.

Yeah, a dude in civilian clothes shooting at your uniforms from a preplanned position of ambush with a semi-auto rifle is just a "confrontation."
They didn't have time to waste with a fucking barricade situation when officers were literally bleeding out and there were reports of multiple shooters and fucking IEDs. Running in there and getting more people shot was not going to help.

So what happened to the other three suspects they had in custody?
I think that it was a terrible precedent to set, killing someone with a suicide robot. It's pretty much on par with wasting him with a predator drone. They had plenty of opportunity to wait him out, it's not like he packed days of food and water.
Conversely, they did have reports of other shots fired and such, like they always get. So many false reports from idiots confusing the scene and making it difficult to size up the scale of the situation. On top of that, nobody wanted to have a three-day siege while BLM formed a giant circle around the place, and possibly harassing/attacking the police while they prepared for the inevitable death by cop. That situation would only get uglier and more difficult for the police the longer it went on, but now they're saddled with the reputation of drone-striking someone rather than try to take them alive, and that's playing right into the wanton murdering of black people dialogue going on.
>>30550372
>cops were wrong for taking out a fucker who was sniping them and civilians
Nope they were not.
It is their job.
There is a difference however when you militarize the police with what is effectively drones.
It might not drop a Hellfire on you, but the implications are really scary.
Just wait for the inevitable
"hey /k/ a police robot is knocking down your door trying to take away your funs how do you defend yourself?" threads to see the desperate memes.
>>30546271

>>30550388
They already had three people in custody, wounded officers had already been evacuated, the gunman was cornered in a windowless part of the garage, and the only IED reports were those mentioned in the building where the gunman was planning to hole up.
The issue is that there are few legal precedents for actual executions staged by police. All police killings are carried out to stop an immediate threat to life, which this guy wasn't. It was almost like they didn't have to rush in, because they had a robot to deliver a nonlethal solution.
Besides, this sounds like the ONE situation that SWAT teams are SPECIFICALLY trained for. Tell me, if this isn't the kind of event where you use SWAT, what is? It's not like the Dallas PD had MRAPS or anything similar that could survive IEDs or small-caliber fire. It's not like they had HOURS to prepare a plan for his capture.

For this shit, though? I'm glad they figured out how to kill that fucker without any more losses. Would I want them to do it frequently? Hell no, but then, if there are a bunch of fuckers sniping people, that is even more scary, and it's also a possibility, and has been for a very long time, but you don't see /k/ threads about that all the time.

>>30550413
Dude, the US government itself labels all military-age males in a battle zone as "enemy combatants". At what point do you label every single person "innocent"? It DOES matter what flag you wear, because tells your allies and enemies what side you're on. Remember the Predator movies? The bugger didn't ever kill anything without a weapon, because there's no sport in it. Apparently the police treat anyone with a weapon as a combatant until they determine otherwise, so I don't see how counting armed, trained individuals among the "innocents" is rational or productive.
Just because someone is a combatant doesn't mean they deserve to die. I'm just saying there's a difference between popping a pre-schooler and popping some dude in his mid 20's with a rifle slung over his shoulder and an itchy trigger finger. Stop getting so irrational over what is effectively a semantic argument.
To be fair to the cops the guy was purported to have a bomb and had set one earlier. So bombing him was literally the best option. While waiting for him to set off his (maybe even while pretending to surrender) could put morw lives at risk and show the Dallas PD to be weak.
The Dallas police did the right thing
>>30550498
Commentators suspect the "drone/robot execution" issue will be criminally or constitutionally challenged in the near future, likely when it happens against someone who has actual public sympathy (think the ATF using a drone strike on an elderly MMJ grower because they assume everyone growing weed is going to have assault rifles with them)
>>30549603
It is a fact that Dorner killed fewer people than the cops did chasing Dorner.
Here's a fucking fun detail you may have forgotten: The cops shot to death two innocent women because they suspected they might have been Dorner. They "mistook" two tiny asian women for one black man.
With cops like that, the cops are the real threat to peace.
>>30550652
>To be fair to the cops the guy was purported to have a bomb and had set one earlier. So bombing him was literally the best option.
Bull. Shit.
I don't care if the guy is literal Satan. Cops do not get to bomb a suspect. Even if the only way to get him would be to march a 100 cops to certain death, well guess what? A hundred cops need to die that day. Cops are not soldiers, they have fucking rules that they need to obey.
>>30550687
Literally none of this is true. The two women were wounded, not killed. The city bought them a new truck.
>>30550634
Remember when only huge city metro PDs could afford APCs?
And now even Hickville, Idaho has one thanks to the massive surplus left by the Army.
What will happen in 10 years when the new generation of drones will replace the old ones?
And I am not talking Predator drones, there are literally more scout drones, that can survey an area 24/7 for days without refueling.
And even if you don't buy into that harsh scenario of constant surveillance, what if people demand more ground drones because this saves cop lives?
The large corporations will lobby it too to get their hardware off the shelves.
And please do tell me how you fight a ground drone with your HD arsenal should there ever be the need to.

On one hand, if I was in a standoff with some dude who clearly no longer values his own life and I still value mine,i don't see why sending a robot to take the guy out without putting me in danger wouldn't be the best option. On the other have operating on this guy and taking him alive so the state can kill him would have been much more satisfying for society in general

You think they woulda done what they were trained to do and negotiated and waited it out, but no, now they just RCXD people and set precidents of "Fuck laws and rules, it doesn't apply to cops or anyone in govt" along with 'first dronestrike on US citizen on domestic soil."

>>30550746
I know you are serious, but I can't take you seriously. Cops having APCs isn't scary to me. I think more civilians should own APCs. When police departments use their toys in situations that are wrong I get upset. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS.
Civilians will always be on the shit end of the stick. Even if everything was legal for civilians, civilians would be on the shit end of the stick. That has not changed. If it comes down to a situation where it's not just a fucked up individual lashing out, and there aren't better options, then it is more likely I will be critical, and possibly feel some cause for fear.
Until then, no.
>>30550927
well yeah I worded that badly.
by blown up I mean the cops send a robot with intent to kill.
like they make a bot carry a case that has a shotgun in it or some shit.

I sort of agree, but you just sounded like pic related.
People are saying all sorts of shit about explosives and him firing sporadically. It sounds to me like they didn't have any better option. If it seemed possible/likely that he had remote explosives or booby traps all over, I wouldn't want them to put a SWAT through that. Even if he just had a vest, I wouldn't want someone to have to get into the same room as him.
If it's proven there wasn't just cause, that's another matter.
>>30548244
We did it back in 1994 after the Adelaide NCA bombing.
The suspect holed himself up in the roof of a stomewalled farmhouse so the police couldn't get him or safely assault.
So they requested that and Army EOD robot 'Echidna' went in and started firing the Browning A5 shotgun normally used for dooropening into the ceiling at random until he surrendered

Tricky or not, you have to try, otherwise it's just a death squad. Rolling in a mobile bomb is not a valid police tactic, and never should be. If they wanted to do that, they should have called in the army or guard to do it. It still wouldn't have been legal, but the police already look like a sack of murdering fuckwits, and they don't need any more of this sort of press.

Doesn't matter, he was no longer an immediate threat. There where plenty of options left.

That's all well and good. Fucking blow up anyone you suspect is a shooter. Never mind at one time they thought there were four shooters. Fuckin' blow them all up. Don't bother trying to drag their ass into court and figure out how/why they went shooter on everyone, surely we can figure everything out from their facebook posts.
Trials aren't just for proving guilt or innocence, they're about a proper investigation handled from both sides of the fence. Nobody's going to defend or dismiss ridiculous theories on how this guy operated now, it's just going to be people slinging whatever theory benefits them most and getting whatever new rights they want for it.

How do we know he hadn't run out of ammo and was ready to surrender but the cops weren't going to have none of that and get payback for their fallen brothers?
>>30551804
When you can qualify a situation as a siege, he's no longer at threat to the population at large unless he comes out. If he does with weaponry, light him up with what the fuck ever. Sending in a drone under the pretense of carrying a phone then blowing him up is not just a violation, but also kills the trust in negotiations in the future. I don't doubt the dude was guilty and deserved it, but I want to see him in court, and I want to see the actual progression of how he planned and put this shit into action, rather than wild accusations by the same people trying to take away rights from both sides.

So a seige has absolutely no risk to anyone else? Good to know that cop seeking bullets are actually real and no bystander more than 300 meters away wouldn't catch a bullet. Good thing this didn't take place in a city or something where evacuating that area for an extended seige isn't stupid as shit and unfeasable.
it seems like you would be fine if they decided to storm the place because of some scale of fairness in your head.
I've read that this shooting happened in a College parking lot, but that the sniper was in an elevated enclosed space. He must've been very hard to get to. Can anyone give the details on his location and the weapon he used?
>>30551607
>I stand up for my rights and the rights of others you stupid fuck
No, you don't. If you did then you wouldn't be supporting the police killing someone when they were not in harms way. This is literally summary execution without trial. The only reason police are normally allowed to use lethal force is if they are in danger and that goes out the window when they people doing the killing are not in danger at the time and are killing the suspect with a robot remotely. You don't get to make the argument that they would be in danger if they acted therefor they can preemptively use lethal force, otherwise that's no different then doing a drone strike on someone's home in place of a no knock raid because they have a weapon and could fight back posing a danger to police.
>>30551871
At the point when they killed him he wasn't an immediate threat. They could have driven in with one of those MRAPs and if he raised his rifle towards them the cops are free to light him up.
Is the bomb robot considered an officer now and was within it's right to self defense?

Shutting down a few blocks is a massive pain in the ass, but so long as these standoffs continue to result in summary executions, they aren't going to be understood at the root cause, we'll just lump them together with the terrorists and ignore the source issues. Failing to try to take someone alive, particularly after murdering multiple other people on little other than suspicion, does not in any way prevent future cop-killing sprees.

It's a no win situation at least in terms of dealing with active shooters.
If you manage to talk them down they still killed a shitton of people and they will be a martyr in prison and be able to spread thier bullshit ie.
