    ...and that's how you handle a thug.
  • ShempRider, on 04/16/2008, -0/+8I'm having trouble with that non sequitur, myself. But that's just me. I'm not a SWAT tactician who faces hostile beer bottles on a daily basis.
  • bxblox, on 04/16/2008, -0/+8This is why: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Oqfrr26yTSY
  • noahhoward, on 04/16/2008, -0/+8SAS is military, the police SWAT teams were a response to an American event and American police forces were the first to adopt military tactics like those of the SAS.
  • curme, on 04/16/2008, -1/+9Yes. Because all Asians look alike. I'm surprised you didn't think that was George Takei.
  • z3021017, on 04/16/2008, -1/+9Wonder how many of these photos are actually of Team Rainbow.
  • Dylson, on 04/16/2008, -0/+7Could it be?
  • noahhoward, on 04/16/2008, -3/+10And our people are some of the most ignorant as to why.

  • robbh66, on 04/16/2008, -0/+5Navy Sea....oh wait, that's a dumbass comment in a civilian law enforcement thread.
  • CaptainAmerica1, on 04/16/2008, -0/+5If militarization helps save lives, I'm all for it.
  • WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -0/+5Yeah, I had to laugh... all the others are pictured doing something awesome; meanwhile OMON is just chilling... Guess the idea is that they're so badass that they don't even need to prove it. Or something -.-

  • HanSolo69, on 04/16/2008, -0/+4Of course they do. Asians are all born knowing some form of martial arts.
  • TheSkinsFactory, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Well now you know who gets all the drunk and disorderly calls. He just chops the beers out of the drunk's hand and slaps on the cuffs.
