    Incongruous for DPD to say they "had no choice" but to use a tactic that has literally never been used before in the history of US policing

        Maybe it was warranted, maybe it wasn't, but a robot-bomb attack wasn't their "only choice."

        The Chief said that they had no choice but to use the bomb robot attack.

        my question is: when did the police get access to actual bombs?

        What is the point of exorbitant SWAT training + equipment budgets if we're resorting to blowing up criminals w/ robots?

        they just wanted to have the excuse to use it, now expect it to be rolled out more frequently.

        It was available. It was a new toy. That's why they used it. If it did not exist they would have had other choices.
