"I just don't give any quarter to critics who ask these types of questions from the comforts and safety away from the incident. You have to be on the ground and try and determine — I've got former SWAT experience here in Dallas, and you have to trust your people to make the calls necessary to save their lives. It's their lives that are at stake, not these critics' lives who are in the comforts of their homes or offices," Brown said.
This man actually gets it from all perspectives. Bravo Chief David Brown
Dallas Police Chief: bomb robot "saved lives" - CNN Video
Could he have hit anyone, if the police had starved him out and wounded him, if he tried to escape?
Otherwise, I don't understand the discussion about using a robot.

Oh, Dear Lord, will the pathos never end. If they had starved him to death, you would have criticized them for that too.
Why can't people see that none of this would have happened if that deranged psychopath had not attacked innocent public servants.
IT WAS HIS FAULT!

Well... let's see - he had already killed 5 police officers, and wounded 7 others. He was in a corner that was not accessible to a police sniper or other direct fire without putting other officer's lives in mortal danger, after losing 5 already to this guys fire. He could have come out at any point and began firing and injured or killed more officers. The police made the correct decision.
In fact, someone on that team must have been a military vet with EOD and close quarters combat experience to come up with this great idea in a civilian scenario. I applaud them for their ingenuity and for not endangering the general public, or getting any other officers injured or killed in an attempt to arrest a man that had already made the conscious choice to forfeit his life once arrested and convicted (either life in prison or the death penalty), by his actions of shooting at, injuring, and killing police officers.
Indeed.
The Military has used bomb robots in the past to take out hold up enemies and enemy positions.
They just mount a Claymore on the end of the robots arm and detonate it remotely.
Dont know if Dallas PD had access to a Claymore but they probably had access to C4 plastique.
Judging by the pic of the debris surrounding the weapon he used that was posted on the forum earlier, that bomb had some punch to it
The Chief of Police said they used one pound of C4.

appropriate for the shooter. To bad he didn't put down the gun and give himself up.

What if he had started a political activist movement to protest, peacefully the wrongs he sees and worked hard to change the system productively?
Nah, let's get our panties in a wad cause the police, in order to save lives and end a dangerous situation used a novel approach to neutralizing someone that had MURDERED people and was threatening to detonate bombs.
Starved him out?? **** that. Neutralize. Exterminate...exterminate...exterminate. Lordy, we expect cops to be super human.

I believe he had told the police he had planted bombs around the area, so taking him out would have been the only thing to do.
Maybe he should have been more peaceful. Maybe that is what he first thought about. It certainly would have been the easy way to go.
But maybe he saw 50 years of comparative peaceful civil rights movement with people of much better education and social position than he had and compared that with the number of kills on YouTube staring blacks and thought about it.
