Wow this spectacularly bad judgement on the part of LEO (FBI), right up there with the Waco siege (ATF). Thanks for bringing this up, I did not see it before.

Wow this spectacularly bad judgement on the part of LEO (FBI), right up there with the Waco siege (ATF). Thanks for bringing this up, I did not see it before. Still, this looks like an improvised explosive device was used by the police, and it's not an off-shot of the US military programs. So my point still stands - just because something is deployed by the US military abroad does not mean it will be deployed at home. To suggest otherwise is to spread needless gloom and panic.

> Just because something is deployed by the US military abroad does not mean it will be deployed at home. Maybe not necessarily in 100% of the cases but once something is manufactured it is likely that the manufacturer will look to expand its customer base. Hence (imo) the militarization of police across the US and indeed the world.
