So, maybe he didn't make any bomb threat. However, most of those responding personnel didn't know that. They had what they believed was a credible bomb threat, and the guy was near a Federal building. So you take it seriously. Personally, I think they were very patient with him, which makes me believe they didn't all think he had a bomb, but figured he was mentally disturbed. They let him sit in his car for hours. They could have just shot him through his window, and that would have been the end of the story. They could have broken out the window and tasered him during the first hour. Why did they let him sit so long, then? Probably because they were trying to give a mentally disturbed person a break.
When have you known the police to be 'patient'? When have you known the police give a mentally disturbed person 'a break'? They would have pumped 60 bullets into him had they not perceived a bigger threat. They were scared to go near that car....they probably thought he had a vial of this wonderful vaccine on him and that they and the city would get infected it if it broke.
Why did he just sit there? Either there is nothing to this story and he is just mentally ill...or there is something to this story and he wanted the media to see him so he couldn't be killed.
