Hoping it just sort of tossed the bomb and rolled away slowly.



Considering Baylor Dallas saved Robocop, they can save the DVD robot.

It certainly changes the barricaded perp's options. Come out or die. I am not a huge supporter of current police tactics, but they had negotiated with this dude for hours, only to have him open fire on them after. He wasn't coming out alive one way or another- the question was how many bodies were going out with him.

It's the lone bright spot in this tragedy. Finally bomb robots are actually bomb robots.

Situations like this? I'm completely cool with it. I just wish the cops would have slapped a GoPro on it so I could see that motherfricker's face when he realized what was about to happen.

Props to DPD...that was awesome!

i mean, i figured he was going to end up dead.

and it seems more efficient than a fire fight.

but i was admittedly surprised that the dude was killed by bomb robot. i didnt really know that was an option. i thought they did various stun grenade/gas options to disable people.

After having viewers watch the fricked up video of the officer being killed, Fox should get a hold of the robot video and show it. You know DPD recorded it.

After killing multiple police officers then being in a shoot out with other officers for over 2 hours... I see no problem whatsoever with using a big fu** you bomb on his punk arse.

This Dallas incident has taught us that a "good guy with a gun" sometimes isn't even enough to stop evil in its tracks. Sometimes you need a good robot with a bomb
