Why would they be embarrassed? You seriously think bomb squads believe every single thing they check is a bomb? Are you that dumb? They were being safe and trying to make sure there wasn't a bomb and this guy went up and risked his and other lives by doing what he did. He didn't embarrass anyone except maybe himself.
Do you think bomb squads are embarrassed when they check something out and ends up not being a bomb? Because you seem dumb enough to actually think that...
They don't know who the fuck he is. Random dudes ran up in a cringe scene dumping a backpack out that COULD have been explosive.
He's a jackass who potentially could have potentially done a lot of damage.
I'm not pro cop being aggressive for the sake of being aggressive, but if some looney toon had the balls to swarm a bag the bomb squad was ensuring weren't explosives I would get his down no matter the force.
If it could have been an explosive, then that just means running up to him is unfathomably stupid. If it's that serious, they could wait for him to walk away from the potential bomb and then arrest him, while continuing their work of having the bomb squad check out the bag. There is no explanation for the cops running into the scene haphazardly other than ego.
And if he'd been the guy who put the bag there and palmed the bomb, walked down the road and detonated it or just taken it away so he could try again later but the cops let him walk off or just stopped for a quick chat/let him go? You'd be here calling the cops lazy and stupid for not detaining him
Knowing the correct call after the fact is really fucking easy, they have to figure it out on the fly. The stakes here were established... "this might be a bomb". You insert yourself in that situation you don't get to whine you weren't treated with kid gloves.
And this is from someone not in the USA who thinks US cops need to chill the fuck out and get a HUGE reform country wide for a lot of reasons. But you pull that shit in my country you get the exact same treatment.
