"Fearing additional casualties, the officers deployed a small,
remote-controlled robot to carry an explosive device near shooter Micah
Xavier Johnson, 25, which they then detonated, killing him.
'We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot and place a
device on its extension for it to detonate where the suspect was,'
Police Chief David Brown said at a news conference Friday morning.' Other options would have exposed our officers to grave danger .… We
have confirmed that he's been deceased because of the detonation of the
bomb.'"
They could have used a quadcopter in certain circumstances. Is this acceptable? More things to think about. In a way, delivering a piece of lead very fast, or a small bomb much more slowly are not that different.
