    They are responding to the scene of a bomb.

    That’s not something you discuss, that’s something you dominate until the scene is safe.

      You think it’s acceptable for innocent people being threatened by a bomb to be harmed by the police who respond because they need to “dominate” the situation? What even is the point of the police when they hurt the people they’re sent to protect?

        In this hypothetical, they are there to find a bomb, and bomber. Collateral damage is to be minimized, obviously. Proper training is what’s needed for that, which many police forces across the world lack.

        A negotiator is not what you send to defuse a bomb or disable a terrorist.
