as opposed to killing him w/o trial with increased risk to human life? Not seeing a negative here.
We have the first law enforcement use of drone (albeit with wheels not wings) to kill someone w/out trial in Americahttp://motherboard.vice.com/read/dallas-pd-using-a-bomb-robot-to-kill-a-suspect-is-an-unprecedented-shift-in-policing?utm_source=mbtwitter …

I get it, but I also fear weapons of war, like drones, will soon become part of LE's basic tool kit for killing us.
-
"killing us"? Sure if "we" are heavily armed cop killers. Get a helmet and skis for that slippery slope.
-
Not sure the guys killed by LE in Louisiana and Minnesota this week were heavily armed cop killers.
-
...and neither were killed by robots? What argument are you even making?
-
1 drone was lost in order to save peaceful protesters and the police that were there protecting them.
-
word is EOD bot could possibly be repaired :D

Maybe the MOVE bombing in 1985?
-
That's about the best parallel, but they used a helicopter I think. It's the drone/robot side of this that is worrying
-
Fair enough. Is it any different than shooting him as he shoots at you? Active shooter, no trial.
-
I understand your point. But I fear weapons of war, like drones, will soon become part of LE's basic tool kit for killing us.
-
I understand. People think "Robocop", I worry more about Govt. taking away my guns then doing this. 1/2
-
if your fear is the gummint takin yer guns, you are the problem.
-
Nothing like that would happen in a Western Democracy.

@executedtoday 'If you don't surrender we will end ya' ppl will say he got what he deserved, a trial is what he deserved -
He was trialed. And he was sentenced to death. Such scum don't deserve second chances.
-
even the world's most vile shit deserves a trial, otherwise how can any morality be imposed
-
He lost that chance after he murdered the 5th innocent police officer in cold blood...
-
But cops blowing someone up with a remote-control bomb crosses line tween law enforcmnt and war.
-
Did that by any chance not look like a war? And what you call "crossing line" I call "ingenuity"
-
If they haven't stopped him, there could be even more casualties.
