They should have used knock out bomb and capture him alive for information.
But hopefully other suspects have the information.
I've never heard of a knockout bomb, what is that?
The shooter was in an elevated position, with good cover and had defended his position with rifle fire from numerous cops. He's an Army vet so know some tactics, he wanted to kill more white people, threatened that there were other bombs nearby and scattered throughout the city.
I doubt this is one of those take 'em alive situations.
Considering the rampant number of civilian deaths at the hands of police killings in the US, I'm surprised it's taken so long for this new kind of tragedy to happen.
Whatever you say about BLM or protesters, when policemen have become so hated that they are now targets, you know that something has gone terribly wrong.
Did not know the police had suicide bomb robots..I wonder who thought of the idea?
If the police (bomb squad) use robots to check on and possibly detonate suspicious packages and/or real bombs, it's not really that hard to think they can use the same robot to deliver a bomb and neutralize the situation. I think there are some police robots that have guns or some sort of firing mechanism attached to them. The guy had a death wish and his wish was granted, he was going to get the death penalty anyway, if he survived, the Dallas police just saved the tax payers a bunch of money.
Strengthening Trust Between Police and the Public in an Era of Increasing Transparency
Stop condemning police officers before all investigations are OVER
Police officers should wear bulletproof vests and bulletproof headgear
Report ALL cop killing threats
Something I can think of.
add: When cops die of gunshot wounds, the wounds are usually to the torso. Body armor has saved hundreds, maybe thousands, of officers' lives. There is always the risk of a head wound, and they do happen, but the choice to not wear a ballistic helmet is a trade-off.
Last but not the least, police officers of all races should not be singled out. The issue is not white officers vs. everybody else, It is police culture vs civilian culture.
Good post, all I have to say. And I happen to know some hard working out there every day, protect and serve and keep the public safe Police. They don't have an easy job and if anyone thinks they do, do their job every single day of your life, and see how you like it.
This was an ambush. Maybe police have not been there for everyone when you need them, they have been here for my family when we have needed them, with burglary and other criminal doings they have been here for us. Police and the public, trust won't be built with incidents like this happening, and will not strengthen, but deteriorate .
People like to judge, before knowing all factual facts.

agreed!!
and I am pretty sure we all have friends who are police officers. I think we should treat all of them with human decency and respect. They are only doing their jobs.
It just broke my heart to see those people taunting the remaining officers when they are trying to maintain the peace while knowing that their fellow officers are lying dead in the streets.
This was so disrespectful! When BLM complains that police are against them, someone should play this video and ask them how police and BLM members are supposed to come together when things like this happen.
How much more benefits would have resulted if these people would have shown compassion for the police and showed them that the pain that the officers were experiencing is like the pain felt by BLM and make THAT a starting point to work in unity for a solution.
Instead, these idiots compound the already tense and confrontational nature of the situation by taunting the officers and creating an even more divisive atmosphere.
Police officers need to be professional and recognize they are idiots, not representative of many BLM members.
I have seen this behavior in public and the majority of us just ignore it. Cops need to do the same.
She has over 1,000 followers on Twitter too.
It's also scary that even more influential people than her have posted similar things, and they get a lot of 'likes' on these racist and sick comments.
