sigh /facepalm

shouldn't this be in P&N?

So they were taking pictures? Who Cares. All fools like you do is criticize the police. Everyone knows this.

Rag on American cops as much as you want but in situations like the bus hostage crisis they rarely fuck up.

Couple of SWAT guys and I were watching it on TV when it was happening. They were simply amazed at the level of stupidity shown during the event. Almost at a loss for words.

Well, here's an Indianapolis cop just the other week:

What's wrong with that??? That is full of win. How many people could actually do that?

This is very true

I shouldnt have posted those pics of the American soldiers. Dunno, first thing that sprung to mind. Like i say i have loads of respect for Americans, why else would i be a regular on an american forum.

Sorry if i offended you guyz

This is very true

Yeah I agree, skill wise they are great. Or maybe I am thinking special forces like during the Somali pirate thing.

Anyway, to the "sane" people claiming that would never happen here, how do you feel about firefighters/emt's posting pictures from on the scene on social networks? I have seen pictures from serious events and even people being rushed into ambulances..

I find it weird and in bad taste.

Holy fuck if you watch the video of this thing on youtube its like 40 monkeys with hammers and guns trying to storm a fortified castle, sad and funny at the same time.

I think the gun owners of ATOT could have done a better job.

It does happen here but its not nearly as commonplace.

depends how many atoters want to die in the d-day style charge into the bus. people are complaining a bit much, its a tin pot 2nd rate poor ass country, so their police are going to suck. they were going up against a dude in a bus with a rifle, no real cover, and the windows all covered with curtains. explosives to take out windows would probably take out hostages, and the windows were plexi or something cuz the sledge only poked a hole in the damned thing. so charging into the 1 or 2 doors the bus did have would just mean the first couple cops would get shot in the face. but hey.. i'm sure thats what any atoter woulda done. gung ho all the way.

You guys all fail to mention that the armed gunman was an ex-cop who got fired for drug related charges. I saw the video. One of the cops missed a smoke grenade about 4 times before getting it in the window.

There was a part where one of the cops accidentally through his sledge hammer inside the bus, and reached in to grab it.

nah, you'll have your disgruntled miserable bastards who have nothing good to say about America or about cops, but most of us sane people here realize what happened in Manila as posted by the OP wouldn't happen in America.

And then for people, and what looks like law enforcement officials, to use the shot up bus as a photo op? Not here they wouldn't.

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Are you kidding me? The difference between American hostage rescue and 3rd world hostage rescue is this:
3rd World- They try to rescue the hostages but are incompetent and kill half the hostages.
America (1st World) - They kill the hostages, all of them. On purpose.

 

[Sea Moose]

or russia gases the terrorists and the hostages and accidentally kills everyone

 

[ShawnD1]

thats total disrepect for the innocent people killed. wtf are they thinking?

Hey mah, take a picture of me standing infront of this camp where a million people were killed

 

[sdifox]

fucking retards arrested the relatives of the gunman that were on site.

Good job, piss off the guy with a machine gun with hostages.

all he was asking for was reinstatement. Fucking say ok, he walks out, arrest him!

 

[dfuze]

OP's pics are pretty sad, but I doubt/hope it reflects their entire force.

Was it just 1 guy? If video games are correct, then killing 1 guy is easy as hell. The tricky missions were when you had to kill 2 or 3 bad guys. If you shoot one of them in the head, the others would execute all of the hostages. If it's just 1 guy.....

The motorcycle daredevil was actually a cop, on his police department bike!

you don't see anything wrong with using a departmental bike, while on duty, which would leave the city holding the bag if he should screw up?
