It seems that Dallas Police "neutralized" Their shooter suspect by blowing him up..... Yes, with a bomb. Not a flash-bang, not a concussion grenade. Not even the kind with the little rubber balls. It was reported as being a genuine bomb.
Am I the only one here who is uncomfortable with this? Considering the current political climate police have created by seemingly at least the flagrant and unpredictable use of handguns, are we really OK with their adding bombs to their box of tricks?
Let's take the latest shooting in Minnesota as an example. We have no idea as of yet why the Officer shot Mr. Castile. what we do know for certain is that the officer fired four times into a car with a non-combatant woman in the seat beside Mr. Castile and a young girl in the seat behind him. I am just glad that the Officer didn't have hand-grenades.
Yes I recognize How silly that sounds. Forty years ago it would have sounded silly that a local Police dept. would have tanks and machine guns. Today those things are common. Now, July 2016 the Dallas police apprehended a suspect with a bomb. Of course there's no potential for abuse there.
Yes, a threat to the public and all. But bombs? Is that the answer?
