Can confirm that I also heard him say that this morning in a snippet of a news conference.

I certainly understand why they wouldn't want to approach him... And if he's holed up properly covered, what are you going to do?

But that is freaking epic. Is there any historical precedent for this? I have never heard of anything like this happening before, can't imagine that something like this is in the handbook.

You take a standard G.I sock, cram it with as much Composition B as it can hold, rig up a simple fuse, then coat the whole thing with axel grease. Now when you throw it, it should stick. Its a bomb that sticks, its a "sticky bomb".

Sir, are you making that up?

No. lt's in the field manual.

Back in the mid-80s, some assholes in a militant group called MOVE pissed off the Philidelphia police. They were holed up in a well fortified row house and had shot a few cops. Someone came up with brilliant idea of dropping a bomb from a helicopter onto the roof of the building. So they did...
And ended up burning down an entire block of homes and killing the MOVE idiots, along with some of their children. It was a small scale Waco with black people.

DALLAS (AP) -- A robotics expert says Dallas police appear to be the first law enforcement agency to use a robot to kill.
Peter W. Singer, of the New America Foundation, says the killing of a suspect in Thursday night's fatal shooting of five police officers is the first instance of which he's aware of a robot being used lethally by police.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters that after hours of failed negotiations and in order to not put any officers in harm's way, his department used a robot to deliver a bomb that killed the suspect. Brown said they saw no other option.
Singer said in an email Friday that when he was researching his 2009 book "Wired for War" a U.S. soldier told him troops in Iraq sometimes used MARCbot surveillance robots against insurgents.
