Dallas police used a robotic bomb to kill a suspect last night

[Jacque67 7,328]

During a press conference Friday, Dallas Police Chief David O. Brown revealed that the fourth suspect in the Dallas attack died not by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, as had previously been reported, but by a bomb detonated by police officers. It appears to be the first time law enforcement has used such a tactic on U.S. soil.

Police tracked the man, who has been identified as 25-year-old Micah Johnson, to a parking garage in downtown Dallas at the El Centro community college campus. The confrontation, which reportedly involved the exchange of gunfire, lasted several hours into the early morning.

Though details are still scant, Chief Brown said at a press conference Friday morning that police killed Johnson with a robot bomb early Friday morning after he refused to surrender.

No other way to take him down... He resolved to keep killing so why risk any further deaths?

Unusual way it had to end.

I hope the poor robots family have been informed of his heroic sacrifice.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a remote control robot bomb (MBCock)

Don't forget this guy was not on anyone's radar in law enforcement, counter terrorism etc...

Does that not scare you? That there are potentially other nutcases regardless of race,gender etc out there!!

He won't be alone in his views or feelings... He just carried out his anger... What's to say others won't at some point.
