    Its a miracle they didnt kill him. These guys killed a cop right before throwing bombs at them. Seriously, at that point you're kind of allowed to kill on site.

    Seems like they were just trying to injure him thinking he may have more bombs on him. Of course they couldnt know that until they got to the boat, which is very dangerous. They must have been trying to shoot him, but not hit vital organs, to incapacite him.

    If they were actually trying to kill him, thats pathetic that they didnt.

    • The "gunfight" lasted over an hourZOOP
    • Yeah from the night before. I thought were talking about when they fired on the boat.CygnusZero4
    • No, the report I saw claimed the gunfire on Dzhokhar lasted that long.ZOOP
    • They werent shooting at him for an hour. I listened to the scanner live.CygnusZero4
    • They spent a long time just watching him. they really took their time.CygnusZero4
    • They fired flash bangs and shit at him because they didnt know if he would set a bomb off.CygnusZero4
    • They handled it right. I listened to the entire thing. They did what I probably would have.CygnusZero4
    • That might be why they said it was over an hour, initial burst of gunfire, then ends with flashbangs.ZOOP
    • That scanner had insane numbers of listeners.ZOOP
    • Yeah they spent a long time not really doing anything.CygnusZero4
    • Talking, planning, preparing. Even just to fire one flash bang to stun him was a big long process.CygnusZero4
    • I hear them trying to get approval to do it, when to do it, then watch him for 10 minutes.CygnusZero4
    • For a suspected terrorist who was considered armed and dangerous, they did it by the book.CygnusZero4
    • And they got him alive. Noone should get down on how that situation was handled.CygnusZero4
    • Yeah, it could have gone much worse, considering the previous meeting they had with him.ZOOP
    • they also sent in a robot to pull back the boat cover.monkeyshine
    • Lol, some minority report shit.CygnusZero4
