I didn't know whether I want to laugh or cry when I saw the people taking pictures.

Peace.
The Hong Kong media's all over this at the moment, mainly focusing on how badly the situation was handled by the police.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari

I have to agree, having been able to see it live. It was absolutely horrible. They missed numerous chances to detain or kill the hostage taker.
The most hilarious part was when they used a tear gas grenade but didn't have gas masks. Having realized this mistake, they borrowed a surgical mask from the medical team on stand by. <sweat drop>
Peace.
The Commission of Human Rights will be bawwing if they did that. Plus, SOP dictates that you do not terminate the hostage taker unless he became a threat. He's still wasn't a threat when they had clear shots.They missed numerous chances to detain or kill the hostage taker.
Government too broke due to corruption. Heh, what's new?The most hilarious part was when they used a tear gas grenade but didn't have gas masks. Having realized this mistake, they borrowed a surgical mask from the medical team on stand by.
Another fine reason not to reveal you're a failipino in the net. Oh wait, too late.

The BBC News had a pretty good breakdown on everything they did wrong, most of it due to inadequate training and experience in this sort of situation.

"These are remarkable statistics. Even though heavy drinking is associated with higher risk for cirrhosis and several types of cancer (particularly cancers in the mouth and esophagus), heavy drinkers are less likely to die than people who have never drunk."

When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
So my humble little town was the subject of an O'Reilly segment on Fox News. This guy calls a cop making an arrest on the other side of the street a Nazi, and the cops, instead of letting it go, go up to the man and start asking for his I.D. This is a prime example of how law enforcement operates in my part of the state.
O'Reilly segment
And the original video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUOsq_45SnQ
He starts his antics around 5:55, after a male officer illegally searches a female suspect. The cops know they don't have shit on him but threaten to bring code enforcement to his house because his grass is too high.. WTF??

The cop was giving the guy shit because the guy was insulting him. Well damn, i'm shocked.
Sure, there are a lot of corrupted cops out there. Insulting one at random however is pretty damn stupid. If you think he's abusing his power, of course he's going to pull some shit to arrest you.
Seriously, the guy who filmed that video was just acting like a smart ass cause he hate cops. If you really think there is a problem, there are plenty of way to go about changing it without making yourself looks like a jackass. If he thought what the cops was doing is wrong, he should have just filmed the video and leaked it to a local news channel or newspaper. There are plenty of news media out there that are more than happy to report a story like that.

Yeah, this.
Hate to say it, but I agree with Papa Bear.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Of course he was acting like a jackass, but that's his right as an American. The only way he can be arrested for only saying words is if he threatened someone. And he didn't. Law enforcement aren't supposed to go on someone's personal property and ask for their I.D. when the person wasn't doing anything illegal.
Regardless of how people act, cops are supposed to be held to a higher standard. If they weren't, we would have some serious problems.

Those cops clearly do not hold themselves to a higher standard.
I'm not debating the right or wrong of the situation. I'm just saying that he should have gone about it in another more effective way. Compares the 2 potential headlines.
"Man arrested after calling police Nazis" or "Concerned citizen took footage of police making illegal searches"
The focus of the real situation is now himself being arrested after insulting the cops rather than the illegal searches. When you want to change something and especially when it's political in nature, it's very helpful to have the public on your side. Right now, the result is him getting arrested and a bunch of idiots arguing on youtube. If he had submitted a story instead, it's very possible that those cops could've been fired if enough people get angry about the situation.
fox news guys and girls live up to their name. they're horrible.
the cops have nothing at him, he's only an ignorant person who can't keep his mouth shut.

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Fuck the POlice.
Wow, what a cowardly douchebag. He's talking tough until the police decide to call him out on it, then he runs like a bitch. He got what he deserved, especially after the news about his prior animal cruelty arrest. Then they showed us his picture and there's no denying the guy is a douchebag.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
True Hero: Man swerves car taking the full force of a collision to save his wife and unborn child.
wow that pisses me off.. dude died because some chick decided to take her sweater off while driving.. I can't even wrap my head around the idiocy of the driver of the Chevy Blazer. Now dude's baby is gonna be raised without a dad (well, unless she remarries of course).the driver tried to take her sweater off while driving, asking the other front passenger to take the wheel at the time.

DADT overturned
Goddamn fucking finally.
Hey rest of the world. It's us, America. Will you let us inside now? We're decent human beings now, I promise.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Yeah that was reported on kotaku awhile ago, but to be honest, I really don't think he swerved to save his wife, I believe him swerving was a simple survival instinct, trying not to die himself.
But yeah at least his wife and their child survived.
Sounds like an exceedingly civilized crazy gunman if the only person he killed was himself. Most of the publicity seeking ones first slaughter total outsiders and then take the easy way out. The world would be a better place if they all were like your math major.
