We discussed this a little while driving from install to install on Friday. Once lethal force is authorized / warranted is there really much difference between an officer waiting an hour and putting a bullet through his head when he gets a chance and the police blowing him up? Dead is dead once you decided dead is an option as soon as its possible its all semantics after that. At least that's where we ended up when discussing it.

Add some kind of shrapnel to the explosives and now you've got a lot of projectiles flying toward the officers that were previously shooting at the bad guy.
