"Won't move closer until it's confirmed the subject is neutralised" ie dead. Seems they're bringing up IR + bomb disposal robots. So brave..

@C7RKY Listening to live report now. State seems as pitiless as the bombers - not an edifying or just end to this particular drama. -
@paulrogers002 Quite. Discerning the difference there, can often make you wonder if there truly is one? Hardly 'talking them out', is it? -
@C7RKY I'm sure police version he's a cop-killer unworthy of trial. Maturer attitudes prevailed in n.Ireland, even Israel, vs greater threat -
@paulrogers002 Some of the difference is undoubtedly regional. I also wonder how much has changed in attitudes over time too? And why...? -
@C7RKY Well, at least he didn't end up kicked to death by police mob in precinct gym. Has happened to other cop-killers Stateside.. -
@paulrogers002 Doesn't seem like much of a choice, whichever way you turn... -
@C7RKY Shows deeper problem with US; substitution of lethal retribution for justice. Questions key to social peace can never be answered now -
@paulrogers002 Justice is a concept which has proved quite elusive, in our own fair isle for me recently. No less elusive over the pond tho. - 11 more replies
