That shit was insane when I saw it on TV .
2 counties worth of cops on that street right now. You could steal Fort Knox!
Thats the incident that made them mandatory for carrying by police in LA.

That's a lot of well-armed white guys with shaved heads.
that situation yes, but that's one in a how many years, in the end the swat did what they are there to do, react in extreme situations
I mean it's almost been 25 years after all.
Driver is also white with a shaved head.
Yep, they were completely outgunned by only two guys. It's still amazing to me that no officers got killed, though many were shot.
And a lot of officers got shot while waiting for SWAT to arrive.

I like how the cops are resting their arms on the cars, I think one with the rifle has his elbow on one too.
They look like they're getting tired standing up too.

The driver fits at least 2 of those 3.

I'm guessing you've never shot a gun before.

Man... disheartening all the "KILL THE GUY!" comments from the YouTube feed, but considering some of the comments when the female reporter came on the screen I guess I shouldn't be surprised. :/
okay go get him some taco bell then!
i know that, but think of the cons, now in every situation they immediately pull the assault rifles and that don't help suspects to surrender easily
Youtube/Twitch comments are basically the internet's stream of consciousness. And the internet is a racist, sexist piece of shit.
It's a precaution. I mean, what will help him surrender? If you have 10 guns pointed at you, what difference does it make if some of them are rifles?
A typical loaded handgun weighs almost 2 pounds. Holding that up for a long time is tiring. More importantly muscle fatigue will affect aim and recoil control.
They do it just to get a rise. No need to pay attention to that.
I think at this point he's going to fall asleep before he decides to step out.
getting shot by bullets is a health hazard
They don't know if he is armed.

Dude may have a gun, cops don't want to die, following procedure, want this to end peacefully. Take your pick.
Try maintaining an aiming pose with a gun for 5 minutes and you will know why they do that, much less something that could last for hours.

I keep feeling like the NBC helicopter lady is gonna say something she shouldn't on TV. She keeps muttering like shes pissed off.
Who would you surrender to, a guy armed to the teeth or a police that seem reasonable and friendly? Ever wonder what a negotiator does?
did they really mention soup again? lol

Pointing a Glock 19 at someone isn't more "friendly" than pointing an AR-15 at them.
No lol, but I will never forget.

They should just have a big crane that comes in and scoops his car up. Just give up already dude.

abc7 is outlining how SWAT is gonna come in. doesn't get more armed than that, really.
haha. soup forever.
Or maybe he got an early copy+unit and is playing it right now!

Now I'm going to expect a switch commercial to cut the feed and once the feed is back it's another high speed chase where the suspect has taken a police vehicle.

Nah our brains don't work like that, big gun=bigger threat, small gun=less threat

Rofl, this is like a mile away from where I live. I can hear the choppers.
go drive their and pull the guy out of the car
Yeah, I'm aware. It's just insane to me that I'm old I guess. I remember it like it was yesterday. Vividly.
I'm so tired of feeling Knicks pain from the 90's. It never goes away. Keep jacking up those threes John.
