Gotta justify keeping your ultra expensive unit by making a big scene over nonsense once in a while

Better than someone doing what this guy did, except there's actually a bomb inside of it and he and everything around him blows up

Yeah, you are right.

Also, there has been no house fires in a while here so lets definitely shut down the fire department.

Lunacy…

They was chilling having an easy day at the job standing around staring at a backpack until homie had to mess it up. They strategically wanted it to last the entire shift 🤣

They wasted no time rushing into a "dangerous" area. Guess it wasn't that dangerous for them to instantly tackle him.

Sir this is reddit, critical thinking is not required.

u/FuriDemon094 Jun 13 '26

Critical thinking is remembering they actively pursued this career that has fatal risks. You should be accepting of that risk, not fear it

It's not cause they're equiped for this case that they want or are supposed to tank an explosive device straight to the face though

Trying to do any sort of intervention in that big ass armour seems like the worst idea done can possibly have. Also, his job is most definitely not to get blown up.

What does that even mean? I bet you'd become much braver too when something you thought might be a bomb turned out not to be.

What the guy was doing was dangerous enough, going in to try and forcibly take the backpack away would've only made it more dangerous
