That being said....
This act was in a parking garage and he had explosives, right ?
What if this cat rigged explosives to the main structural supports and was waiting for enough cops to come in and bring it all down on them ?
How could you handle that situation, quickly.
They used a robot with explosives.
The dude wouldn't expect that and they knew they could stop him, before he hit the switch.
I would have liked to seen the guy in cuffs, but I don't know all the details.
Perhaps they found his endgame plans in his home.
Dunno
I guess my thought process is when the hell did a bomb delivering robotic system become a part of the LE arsenal? I am not even thinking about it in this incident alone, but it was something they already had. Why did a LE agency feel the need to have a bomb to use, presumably, on their citizens?
This guy was never going to see the inside of a jail cell, but Dallas having a bomb in their weapons locker for this just concerns me.
