I think those would be the guys you'd call in if suddenly there were 200 of these bombers on the loose. Not one guy hiding in a boat likely bleeding.
Link seems pretty boring right now. Not a lot going on.

They don't know if he has a bomb on him. You can't take that chance.

The kid has a history of throwing pipe bombs, hand grenades and shooting at police officers?

They are waiting for him to give up. They are not going to send people in to get blown up. If he dies, he dies. But they are not going to risk others lives to save him if he doesn't want to just stand up and get out of the boat.

But what's going to change? How are they going to determine that without doing something?

They are trying to get him to surrender by annoying him with gas and flashbangs from the sounds of it. If they don't see movement for a long enough period they will probably move in with a robot and then move a team in.

You either wait until he gives himself up or he is dead.

I would imagine they wait it out as long as it takes.

Fair enough - I'm pretty naive when it comes to these things so honestly wondered. I would have assumed they go in and try to take him.

Dittoa as above. Wasn't suggesting people get themselves into dangerous positions, just thought things happened more quickly. Couldnt a guy in a bomb suit walk up? Surely those things are bullet proof?

Any comments on why or how this happened? I'm not really catching anything on this scanner I'm listening to. Or I'm not a good listener.

They aren't as bulletproof as you think. They are made to take a large impact with small fragments. Not necessarily a bullet at close range.
At this point law enforcement has all power. They can light up the night with helicopters and night/infrared. Plus they can outlast one person from fatigue. If he is injured he won't be able to move quickly. So at this point it's up to him to give up or die (slowly or suicide).
