INHUMANITY TO HUMAN DALLAS POLICE ROBOT KILLER

 Dallas police vigorously defended the use of a killer robot to take out the suspected sniper who launched an ambush at a Black Lives Matter event earlier in the week killing five officers. There was “no other option but to use our bomb robot,” the police chief said.


The robot delivered an explosive to kill Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, who on top of shooting dead five police officers also injured nine others, included two civilians. Johnson barricaded himself inside a parking lot as hundreds of people took to the streets on Thursday night in Dallas.

After negotiators’ efforts fell flat with Johnson tauntingly wondering how many officers he had hit with gun, law enforcers had to change their tactics. Police chief David Brown asked officers to “use their imaginations” to devise a strategy to disable the shooter.

“He seemed very much in control and very determined to hurt other officers,” Brown told CNN on Sunday. “Without our actions, he would have, he would have hurt more officers.”

“I approved it and would do it again if presented with same circumstances,” he said. “I appreciate critics but they are not on the ground. And their lives are not at risk.”

Still he said he understood the questions why non-lethal methods were not used to disable the suspect. On Friday, Brown told reporters police 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. Other options would have exposed our officers to grave danger.”

The use of the killer robot was met with various reactions with some people believing the shooter had to be stopped by whatever means necessary and others feeling concerned over the militarization of police.
