Damage shown from blast that stopped police-killing sniper

76. You keep repeating an assertion that is very dubious: that he no longer poses a threat

to anyone. That's a statement that simply can not be accurate about a person who has just murdered several people and is actively threatening to kill more by gun and by explosive detonation. A person who is making threats, who has already committed murders and threatens to commit more is in fact posing a threat, very much so. With intention.

Additionally, the PD does not say 'it was just because he wouldn't surrender' they said it was because he continued to make threats and claimed to be wired with explosives. If you send gas into an area with a man with a detonation button, he pushes that button. He said he had such a device on his person and others staged around the area.

You don't quote the PD because to do so would make your narrative more difficult to sustain.

He was posing and literally making threats and his actions made it clear he had no compunction about carrying out deadly threats.
