    Wrong - blowing up potential bombs is standard practice

    In this case your insights are off base. Applying "strong force" to disrupt a potential explosive device without risking the bomb squad trying to disassemble and or disarm, at literal risk of life and limb, is standard practice. The point is to apply a moderate force to destroy either the triggering mechanism or the primer mechanism.

    For example in Israel they have an armored drone/robot with a 12 gauge shotgun with buckshot, that rolls up and shoots the potential bomb. Big bang, but not setting off of actual explosives if it's a bomb.
