yeah, first time they actually looked like they knew what they were doing, instead of the usual Keystone Cops

I hope it’s not the same guy who get bitten by the dog at each police show. Because it’s always the same ridiculous fake attacks: “ho, let’s steal this bag in front of the policeman” “I am a terrorist, I am going to kill everybody with my toothpick”.

Only a deranged salaryman would use a knife. A real terrorist would probably be caught as he died laughing!

Good remark.

In this situation, the policement are ready to attack because they know the scenario.

Especially for the robbing scene.

I am not quite sure that they are so reactive, yet I have never seen them in action in airports.

And I believe that we cannot compare the policemen in streets and the ones in airports. The training may not be the same.

Anyway, even in my country fake demonstrations are odd.

wow! they rushed in even at the expense of the hostage!!! i worry for the hostage, but normally this is how i like to see situations like this go down! not like here in america where one guy with a knife requires ten snipers and an entire division of the army!

Hmm They could have easily taken him down with some basic CQC.

Weee! It’s like a high school play! Next do a terrorist wielding nerve gas! How about someone with a shotgun he got from the Yakuza? Or a maniac with a suicide bomb!
How would you take down a blubbery man swimming in a restricted pool and lobbing rocks about, J-police?! I feel safer already.
