Shouldn't We Be Talking About The Robot That Took The Suspect Out, In Dallas?

Dallas Police Chief David Brown on Bombing Attack Suspect:
'I'd Do It Again'
by Elisha Fieldstadt

The Dallas police chief on Monday defended his decision to use a bomb-strapped robot to kill the gunman suspected of fatally shooting five officers, insisting he would "use any tool necessary to save our officers' lives."
"I'd do it again," David Brown said, adding that the move "wasn't an ethical dilemma for me."
He said he only advised those operating the robot after a two-hour standoff with the the gunman, Micah Xavier Johnson, "not to bring the building down. That was the extent of my guidance," Brown said. The plan was devised in about 15 minutes, he said.
"We knew this was the suspect. He was asking us how many did he get," Brown said. "And he was telling us how many more he wanted to get."
At that point, it was unknown how many officers Johnson had injured. Later, Brown learned that five were killed and others were wounded. He said Monday that nine officers were injured in the ambush.

In this case i think he could have provided some valuable insight
Particularly in the specific demographic of black ex-solider.

This is probably part of the reason they used the robot with bombs is he seems to have been quite good at combat.
and following the middle east wars how many thousands of other black ex-soldiers are there in the USA

2 things rather telling here:
a.) When the police are allowed to write their own script there seem to be many that turn a blind eye to the legal method of our LAWS
b.) blowing up a piece of $100,000. Equipment along with a wounded perp seems justified when a gas canisters/ flash bomb would have been just as effective and saved both the human and that highly expensive piece of equipment

REVENGE ...just another dead black man in a highly volatile / adreninlin saturated situation that had other options available but now Pandora's  Box has been lifted; what will be the justification for the next time?

In the 1950s, some people were predicting that we would be driving nuclear powered flying cars by the 21st century...

In the 1960s, they were predicting that people would be holidaying on the moon, and living on Mars, by now..
