So are they saying "robot bomb" to cover up the fact it was probably a hand grenade? I'm not sure what to think about the entire thing. People should just stop killing people. Cops should be civilians, civilians should be civilians. When we start killing for every threat and blowing each other up, everything has gone way too far. If a robot was that close, are there no other non lethal ways to disable someone?

With a bomb robot? Doubtful. I've also heard reports that the explosive device was of the type that'd be used to trigger a bomb which couldn't be safely defused in place, rather than a hand grenade. I'm not sure that changes the complexion of the matter substantially, but a hand grenade would likely be somewhat harder for a police force to lay hands upon. > People should just stop killing people. I mean, sure, that'd be nice. Unfortunately, the entire history of our species, to say nothing of every other on the planet, militates strongly against it.
