Darko posted:They were partially the reason for Civil Rights laws being passed. Yeah alright elucidate. Because the only thing the 68 riots did was get Nixon elected. Violence has always been the antithesis of the Civil rights movement because in the end, they have way more weapons than we do.

Petr posted:They blew up a suspect with a loving robot? I didn't even know that was a thing. What's the protocol around that? I imagine if he was talking about having explosives on his person they decided that the safer route was to blow the motherfucker sky high instead of having him potentially suicide bomb a bunch of cops? From there they treat it like a regular bomb disposal? I'm not sure to be honest, but it sounds cool as hell. And a little scary.

Petr posted:They blew up a suspect with a loving robot? I didn't even know that was a thing. What's the protocol around that? I don't know the protocol, but the robot wasn't equipped with the bomb, it was equipped to disarm a bomb the shooter had planted nearby and, as negotiations with the suspect broke down, the cops decided to detonate the bomb themselves rather than let the shooter detonate it himself when they closed in. Shooter got caught in the blast. Cops probably weren't too cut up about it, they'd been "negotiating"/getting shot at for the guy by hours. Plenty to criticize, to be sure, but DPD seems to be handling the disaster a lot better than they could have done.

Had the guy already offed himself when they blew him up though? Not that it makes a lot of difference, but if they killed him with a bomb robot that's kinda  but not in a great way, really

Also you can't just shoot someone wearing a suicide vest because a) they might not die instantly and can set it off manually, and b) they might be using a dead man switch (i.e. the bomb goes off when they STOP holding down a button/lever/whatever), so if they die instantly it goes off.

Hollismason posted:Hottest of Takes Expect a whole lot of this from law enforcement over the next few days. And make sure you read Drudge's headlines over the next week, because that is what 50% of America will believe is true in November, regardless of the truth. Hope is a lie. EDIT: Case in point, the Detroit Free Press has already simplified the "wanted to kill white cops" claim to simply "wanted to kill white people."
