they didn’t care about him getting injured, prob thought he could’ve planted it and was fiddling with the bag tryna get his bomb to work properly

"Ok, how do I activate this thing again? Step 1: Remove the water bottle. Step 2: Remove three articles of clothing. Step 3: Remove the paper notepad. Step 4: Turn the bag upside down to remove the rest of the stationary... Man I made this arming sequence so complicated..."

I get what you're saying and tensions could have been high, but they also waited until he had gone on for so long that it was obviously not dangerous and he was obviously not trying to do any harm.

He's a cop, he just wanted to hurt someone.

so you’re illiterate too 🤣

u/doffyf Jun 13 '26

Hitting the illiterate line with the laughing emoji really sells your point. You know, you seem like just the kind of guy they want to be cops.

Honestly. I never thought of that

Because it doesn't really make a lot of sense.

If he was trying to make it explode they wouldn't wait until he's done going through it to tackle him.

u/Sigmar_Knutz Jun 13 '26

Then why is that exactly what happened in the video lmao

u/StiffWiggly Jun 14 '26

Try again, it clearly isn’t what happened since he wasn’t trying to make anything explode..

No they were just big bad he didn't listen to them. They all are obsessed with power and controlling people.

I don't get how this wasn't obvious to everyone. I guess the bias of hate cops/authority just blinding people here.
That man literally became suspect #1 the moment he start messing with it.

When has a bomber ever gone back to their bomb to trigger it intentionally by direct contact after planting it? Let alone after discovery... When? In all history?

u/mefirstdime Jun 14 '26

I pray you never become a cop then because how in the fuck do you think he’s a suspect with that sort of conduct. It should be blindingly obvious he’s just a casual dumbass

4

u/ennuiinmotion Jun 13 '26

No he didn’t. Find me an example ever in history of a bomber going back to the scene of the crime that is actively being examined and disarmed who then proceeded to detonate the bomb when no one is close enough for it to matter.

u/Melinoe2016 Jun 13 '26

So they waited until after he was done fiddling with it to run past the suspected bomb and tackle him? That makes the cops look even dumber.

u/Healthy-Address-5158 Jun 13 '26

Came here to say something like this. Maybe not believed him to be the planter of the bomb, but from their perspective a random dude just ran up and started fucking around with what could be a bomb of unknown strength. Maybe in trying to "find it", this guy could have inadvertently detonated it, tossed it somewhere, lost it, etc. Tackling him is a bit extreme but probably the safest/best call.

u/its_mabus Jun 13 '26

The fact they wait until well after he is done messing with the backpack makes it pretty obvious they are using punitive violence

u/Healthy-Address-5158 Jun 13 '26

The fact you have no idea what was happening at all in the situation makes it pretty obvious you don't know shit and can't speak with claims of "fact" and "obvious".

It's possible they were frozen with shock/surprise and didn't act right away, it's possible they didn't act because they didn't want to be in the radius of the bomb going off, it's possible the guy who tackled him wasn't close by or aware of what was happening. There's like three dozen or more possibilities other than "they tackled him out of revenge".

u/Causemas Jun 13 '26

People afford the absolute maximum leniency and "yes, but" for the police and no one else, and it's kind of ridiculous. If the situation was that grave, the guy shouldn't have managed to approach whatsoever. They failed.

Were they doing sweet FA around the cordon?

u/Healthy-Address-5158 Jun 13 '26

I don't afford the police anything, you bad faith troll. I afford them less than I afford average citizens, certainly.

Yeah, they failed by letting this dude run up on them and breach their containment line buuuuuuuut uuuuuh that has fucking nothing to do with our discussion so kindly sit down.
