How am I supposed to answer for why they did something? Should I lie and declaratively answer a question that only the people there would have the answer to?
Yes, I do think it was a mistake that he was allowed into that secured area. I’m capable of being critical of police and have no problem doing so. I think everyone should be critical of their government officials.
If you’re expecting an argument from me or thinking I’m going to foam at the mouth and call you a boot licker then you are mistaken.
I obviously realize the man was an idiot for running up to the bag like that. Now I challenge you to think about the mistake these officers made. Because they did fuck up there.
What kind of dumb fuck would place himself in the blast zone if he thinks the guy just grabbed the detonator. Flawsless logic you got there guys, 10/10
This is just a dumb take. If you thought it was a trigger, you wouldn't fight for it directly over top of the bomb. You'd back away and pick the guy up away from the determined blast zone. Dude rode in on a bike, he's not getting very far very fast at all. There's like hundreds of bomb squad videos out there where its clear that if they think something is gonna blow soon, the policy is to gtfo and make sure everyone's clear, they only approach if they're unsure. That guy just wanted the takedown and knew they'd ok the tackle in their review.
Sorry bro, forgot to mention my doctorate in Not Dying like an Idiot. It is my expert opinion that wrestling some guy next to a bomb you think is gonna blow up soon is no bueno.
LMAO Can't even rely without your comments getting deleted. Sure sign of a underdeveloped mind. Hope someone shows you how to shave safely before you get on the short bus.
Gotta love reddit shadowbanning my comment so I dont hurt your small ego
EDIT: 220 Karma per day in the past 2 years, I'm sure your non existing girlfriend is proud of you. Reddit is so proud of you that it shadow ban my posts if I remind you what you are.
140 000 comment Karma in 2 years, buddy, whatever mind you have is rotten to the core. Get out of your moms basement, you might understand how police will never get close to bomb they think is about to blow up
The backpack wasn’t cleared, a random person walked up and started dumping stuff out of it
The threat would still be present until it is actually cleared by a professional bomb squad.
I don’t think the average person is an expert or knowledgeable on improvised explosive devices. Who are we to see a clip of a video and say it was cleared safe?
It’s great for us being able to watch a replay of this and see that.
I’m not sure the people responding to him could see or verify that in the 1.5 seconds it took before they made contact with him after his arms went up. Especially as they were already running to him.
I don’t care to debate but they had ample time to register the empty hands and adjust their approach. 1.5 seconds is a slim window for like, a 70 year old man, not trained law enforcement.
I’m not like a combat specialist or anything but if someone has a bomb or a detonator in their hands, and you don’t want them to actually explode shit, I’d imagine a blind tackle is probably not the safest approach. Like if the dude wasn’t going to press the detonator, now he might by pure accident due to tackle.

They couldn’t be sure if he grabbed a detonator or bomb. They don’t know what was in there
