[QUOTE=areolop;40345193]Also, take what you hear on the radios with a grain of salt. Anything you hear is not considered "confirmed" just because one of the 10k police officers says it was.[/QUOTE] But scanners are an excellent source, they're from professional; "Scanners are probably the most reliable source out there since they come from the professionals in the field" You, two days ago, when I said something very similar to you right after the initial bombing.

I thought the USMC was really uptight about other services/organs using it?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40345237]Let's see, how "middle eastern" can the media make Chechnya out to be so America can invade it for retaliation? (Joke. Kinda.)[/QUOTE] It's part of Russia.
Where is Boba fett when we need him?
This guy needs to learn how to hold the fucking radio button down.

[QUOTE=nitedal;40345282]How come those guys get to use MARPAT? I thought the USMC was really uptight about other services/organs using it?[/QUOTE] As long as the Marine Corps emblem isn't embedded into it every so many inches like real MARPAT, I don't think it's considered MARPAT. Could be wrong, though
[QUOTE=Void Skull;40345279]And now we wait for that officer's helmet cam to end up on Liveleak.[/QUOTE] Those looks like NVG's, man.
[QUOTE=DanielSA10;40345285]Where is Boba fett when we need him?[/QUOTE] heh, one of my friends joked that Dog the Bounty Hunter is on his way.
I think it's just the scanner with interference seeing as the officers seem to know what hes saying. That's good at least.
[QUOTE=nitedal;40345282]How come those guys get to use MARPAT? I thought the USMC was really uptight about other services/organs using it?[/QUOTE] it's not illegal to wear MARPATs. It'll piss every marine in a 50 mile radius, and the department is liable to get a angry red letter from the marine core, but i can't see it being a legal issue.
[QUOTE=ScoutKing;40345281]But scanners are an excellent source, they're from professional; "Scanners are probably the most reliable source out there since they come from the professionals in the field" You, two days ago, when I said something very similar to you right after the initial bombing.[/QUOTE] Reliable at getting information FIRST. Not reliable in the credibility sector. Still have to take it with a grain of salt.
[QUOTE=Void Skull;40345279]And now we wait for that officer's helmet cam to end up on Liveleak.[/QUOTE] Those are night vision goggles.
[QUOTE=areolop;40345311]Reliable at getting information FIRST. Not reliable in the credibility sector. Still have to take it with a grain of salt.[/QUOTE] still more useful and reliable than news sources. You just need to use your common sense more and evaluate it as it happens.

[QUOTE=mysteryman;40345333]still more useful and reliable than news sources. You just need to use your common sense more and evaluate it as it happens.[/QUOTE] I concur.
[QUOTE=Hullu V3;40345337]Stop talking about salt, it's making me hungry.[/QUOTE] And thirsty.
[QUOTE=Kommodore;40345284]It's part of Russia.[/QUOTE] I know. You make it sound like that matters :v:
They just said something about a debriefing.
I've been listening to the scanner, all...fucking...day... so addictive.
Some douche is saying keep the channel clear
[QUOTE=H4wkeye;40345327]Those are night vision goggles.[/QUOTE] Well, someone's bound to have a helmet cam in these thousands of members of law enforcement.
[QUOTE=TheTalon;40345295]As long as the Marine Corps emblem isn't embedded into it every so many inches like real MARPAT, I don't think it's considered MARPAT. Could be wrong, though[/QUOTE] That's what I was thinking of too, but I thought that the colours and pattern was somehow protected from being used officially by others than the USMC itself. [QUOTE=ScoutKing;40345307]it's not illegal to wear MARPATs. It'll piss every marine in a 50 mile radius, and the department is liable to get a angry red letter from the marine core, but i can't see it being a legal issue.[/QUOTE] Not meaning it's illegal, I just thought there were some regulations on who could buy actual uniforms with the real pattern for official use. This is a matter for another thread though so don't let us keep discussing it here, sorry I brought it up.
[QUOTE=areolop;40345280]Just to let you guys know, departments from across the US are sending their SWAT teams out there. Expect a lot of different uniforms[/QUOTE] When this is over, I seriously want to hear the story on how he was able to elude everyone for so long.
[QUOTE=DanielSA10;40345285]Where is Boba fett when we need him?[/QUOTE] Here I am . Ill have him frozen in carbonite and sent to the palace.
[QUOTE=zupadupazupadude;40345352]They just said something about a debriefing.[/QUOTE] They've said this earlier today to. Suspecting it's for the units going off-duty after hour long shifts.
Things seem to have become really calm over the scanner all of a sudden.
Not to sound like a dick, but is the massive amounts of backup really necessary? Seems like a waste of money just to catch one guy.
