I can't decide exactly what to think about this one. At a gut level I feel as though I should rail at the officers for letting this man die. On the other hand, I'm not really sure what else they could have done. If the man didn't take it off himself I think you have to assume he was told it was booby trapped and I doubt anyone on the scene had bomb disposal experience.
All-in-all a sad event about which the police and FBI seem to have no clue (at least at the moment).
