- ani625, on 07/09/2008, -4/+95Segways!? All hail the Chinese nerd police!
- swrostmore, on 07/09/2008, -8/+77anti- "terrorism?" hahahahhaahaha
This is a show of force for anyone who's thinking about criticizing China's human rights policy. The backpack flamethrower is specially reserved for critics of China's cultural genocide in Tibet. - etgggg, on 07/09/2008, -1/+65dugg for combating terrorism with segways and flamethrowers
- noupsell, on 07/09/2008, -1/+32they all look so happy to be there
- ineptsavant, on 07/10/2008, -0/+28To those of you thinking it's overkill: I've been living in China for a few months now and it's hard to properly convey how important the Olympics are to them(students here about it every day on the announcments at school). They see this as their chance to show the world how they're catching up and if anything goes wrong it will cause them to lose "face"(a very important chinese concept of character). They are not risking anything. Seriously; I'm sure they have a Godzilla defense task force training right now, just in case Japan lets him out of his underwater bunker accidently. It may seem asinine to you, but to them.. the more they do to prepare they better off they will be in the eyes of the world. Oh... also those segway police might look dumb.. but they'll run you down with it at about mach one while gunning(they're not normal).
- jlrobins, on 07/10/2008, -2/+27Oh my god, these photos are AMAZING.
- btschul, on 07/10/2008, -3/+21This is actually training in case any protesters show up. Or, in case someone utters an anti-communist comment while running the 400 meter dash.
- bicyclethief, on 07/10/2008, -1/+18Even in full SWAT gear, the dudes on Segways still look like dorks.
- BelatedHero, on 07/10/2008, -2/+18Surface-to-Air missiles near the Olympic green?? Wow.
- whyufail, on 07/10/2008, -1/+14....I'm sorry but the machine gun+Segway thing just seems like the least tactically sound combination ever.
- SpongeBad, on 07/10/2008, -1/+14I'm just wondering if those are real Segways or cheap Chinese knock-offs. I can see the instructions now "please to stand on platform and lean to make go forward direction."
- eouw0o83hf, on 07/10/2008, -1/+12Don't know why this was dug down, the photography really was spectacular. Governmental issues aside, apparently China knows how to raise photographers...
- geoboy, on 07/10/2008, -0/+11Yeah, really. This looks more like a sneak preview of the forces of the world's next super power. They're sending a clear message that it is futile to mess with China, whether you're a terrorist or a dissident or a foreign government.
- hellmit, on 07/10/2008, -0/+10I am personally a fan of the police Bong unit in pic 9.
- salamnder, on 07/09/2008, -3/+13Since this is china, do you think that they will use the flame thrower on peaceful but anti-government protests? I mean, in the US they get tazered, in the UK they get rubber bullets, in France they get fire hoses, in China they get the flame thrower?!
- SpectreFire, on 07/10/2008, -0/+9No, you're pretty much ***** crazy.
- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8We come in peace....on a what?
- Tyrghast, on 07/10/2008, -0/+75th pic, front row, 4th from the right. Look at the hands. He's doin it all wrong.
- m1zl3d, on 07/10/2008, -0/+7Activision calls it "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" but where's my Segway to go with my MP5 with a Red Dot Scope?
- 0Xonox0, on 07/10/2008, -0/+7I think the pictures of all the guys carrying small guns while riding segues is just one big sexual innuendo.
- humperdeath, on 07/09/2008, -1/+7What do you do if a terrorist comes to attack you with a banana? Hah? Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.
- Fluvant, on 02/27/2009, -0/+6This is why the security guards at my mall are using Segways!
- digggggggggg, on 07/10/2008, -1/+7Yeah, it seems like the Chinese thing to do. Back in '99, when Taiwanese independence was all the rage, China held this huge military parade as part of their "national day", kinda like our fourth of july. It was obviously a show of force thinly guised as some sort of nationalistic thing.
- InfernoX, on 07/10/2008, -0/+6Hey *****. When terrorist say detonate an explosive and a bunch of steelrods get lodged and there's innocent children trapped on the other side, they have to cut through it.
Flamethrower is obviously a scare tactic, no one will run at a guy with a flamethrower after he sprays it into the air. And I like the segway idea, say what you will about it but it allows the soldiers to focus on aiming and less on running. - djfatalerror, on 07/09/2008, -2/+7LOL, I'd love to see them open fire whilst they rapidly deploy. And WTF is going on with the flamethrower, barbequed terroraki?
- 2ndrookie, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5I just wish I could hit play on that freeze frame and watch those dudes on the Segways in action!
- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5lol so cute! come on now guys, segways, seriously.
- cnot3, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5Who would be riding a scooter down a highway at night?
The Chinese police. - Pooleep, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5Dugg for segway cavalry.
- chockZ, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5Are they slicing through hurdles in the picture with the guys with the saws?
- Evi1d33d, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5Why jump over it when you can hack right through?
- blakecr, on 07/09/2008, -1/+6You have to give the police state some cred. They look bad ass on those segways...
- Aharoni, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5It actually makes sense to have surface to air missiles. I'm not sure if you've heard of a tiny insignificant event where a bunch of terrorists took over planes and crashed them into buildings? of course, that didn't work out for them, so there's no chance it may happen again, right? right?
The metal saws also make quite a lot of sense. You know, after a terrorist bombing (lets say in a bus) you need to get the wounded out. Sometimes metal is in the way. I'll let you do the math. - delta013, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5I for one welcome our new Chinese-Segway overlords.
- digggggggggg, on 07/10/2008, -1/+5I wouldn't put it past them. This is the same government that killed hundreds of students back in '89. Who would have expected them to use live ammunition against unarmed protesters?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_prot ... - Lavarock, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4I seriously thought that picture was fake before. What the hell is the point of that?
- cgg123321, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4It's one of the Olympic mascots.
- btschul, on 07/10/2008, -3/+7I usually hate those ***** who go around criticizing people for misspelling words in comments, but I feel I must in this case, seeing as how the misspelling changes the entire meaning of the comment. gorilla = monkey, Guerrilla = an unconventional system of promotions on a very low budget. I would like to see an example of gorilla marketing, however.
- InfernoX, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4The first one looks fake I agree but the rest look legit. China has over a billion people, it's not unreasonable to think that they could get 100 or so in a few pictures.
- inotocracy, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4Do they really expect to be taken seriously when they swarm in on those segways?
- MrTito, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4Don't forget the surface-to-air missiles. Turrets, flamebats, and vultures. It's like the Olympics are taking place on a Starcraft map.
- McShr3dd3r, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4Olympic hurdle jumpers will have nothing to jump over since the police cut all the hurdles in half with those buzz saws.
- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -6/+10Let's not forget the anti-terrorist SURFACE TO AIR MISSLES and METAL SAWS. X_D
- OpCzar, on 07/10/2008, -1/+5* Need a light?
* Fire it up!
* Wanna turn up the heat?
* Let's burn. - alach11, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3Maybe I'm wrong, but wouldn't recoil be a huge problem if you were trying to fire on a segway?
- btschul, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3Are they expecting an army of terrorists? It is totally obvious that these tactics are to discourage protesters. Flamethrowers? Yeah, that'll be helpful against a terrorist in a large crowd.
- MeltingIce, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3Then again, a flaming naked dude might be kinda funny
- ChromaVita, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3They should have mounted a 50 cal on the front of that thing...
- rz8472, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3Nothing say discretion like a good flamethrower or twenty.
- upick, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3China's on hardcore alert... wtf is wrong they are a bit extreme... plus what are they doing to prevent suicide bombers... a bit overboard i reckon
