Shots fired at downtown Dallas protest

[Nash B.]

I think you missed Allan's point, in that this only sets a precedent that there is a new alternative means of lethal force that lessens danger for those not the target/threat, once lethal force has already been well justified as the only means of resolution.

I'm not sure that's the point he was making.

Next time when there is a guy barricaded in some place with a butter knife threatening to butter everyone's toast and they blow him up you'll say they did the right thing.

Douche bag coward shoots 13 people, including 5 cops, with the potential to kill many more... I'm sure they weren't to worried about his civil rights...

And that's a problem. Even after he did everything he did, he still had rights.

Don't be a dumbass. If someone is barricaded with a butter knife, you throw in some Peanut butter and jelly and a loaf of bread. Once he eats a few sammiches, then falls asleep, you go in and slap the cuffs on him.

No doubt it is great that he is dead, I just think you have to look at every power given to the police in the worst possible light because eventually that is exactly how it will be used. Kind of like asset forfeiture. Then brainwashed clowns and apologists will act like the issue doesn't even exist.

F him.

I'm happy DPD had the 'nads to terminate him.

and btw...

does anybody think he was only one of several involved and he was just the patsy that got caught, while the others disappeared into the chaos?

or is my tin foil hat leaking a little this morning?

That's exactly the point I was trying to make.

I think it's a win the suspect is dead, but at what eventual cost of our civil rights does it become a precedent for future actions.

In my mind it's no different than making the decision to call in a sniper, this being a quicker more effective method. At the end of the day, the shooter was given the choice to lay down his weapon(s) and live, yet he chose to remain a serious threat, and consequently die.

It's a slippery slope, no doubt.

So this insert photo on the left goes viral on the Internet 24hrs before the Dallas ambush. Killer wrote in his own blood "RB" on the walls and DPD says they don't know what it means. Could a reasonable person conclude it has to do with "RBG" and that this photo had some influence in the attack? If that is so, that group is using a photo of an ISIS execution as the basis for their own propaganda. I guess I want to know what exactly it takes to classify a group a terrorist organization.

[CexMashean]

Someone tell me which costs more: the robot and bomb, or the trial to prosecute the guy killing everyone in a gun fight. I'll go with the cheaper one. 'Cause jew.

[Broncojohnny]

The next time a murderer decides to barricade or hide himself in a small area or room after killing a cop (or anyone) and then threatens to kill more people, I say send in the "robot with a bomb" all day and every day. This is an extreme situation that called for extreme measures. The next time a LE agency uses a robot in this manner we can surely discuss if it was justified.

The problem is that there is nothing to discuss. Next time when there is a guy barricaded in some place with a butter knife threatening to butter everyone's toast and they blow him up you'll say they did the right thing.
