But the question is not a difference between those delivery methods. It's a question of whether police should even use bombing holed-up suspects as a tactic.
Is there a reason why they didn't want to wait this guy out?
Maybe there is. I don't know all of the details. And I'm not trying to "call you out". Just wondering.
It's Texas. Do they need another explanation?
The only information I've seen as to why they used the robot to deliver a bomb was to reduce the risk of death or serious injury to other officers. I haven't seen any information they used the bomb in an attempt to detonate a suspected bomb via sympathetic detonation. I haven't seen an explanation as to why they chose that COA over waiting him out.
