Hostage Situation - Martin Place, Sydney

[Jimmybob]

Yeah, I realise the gunman doesn't want to be exposed, just saying that the tactical police don't want to be exposed either and if they use night vision then the street lights will possibly hinder that or maybe I'm wrong.

Using nv in light must have the lens covers on, they have a tiny hole in the covers to allow enough light in for them to still work.

Mate of mine is military, apparently the tactical police crews cross train with the SAS, Commando Regiment and Navy Clearance Divers; and often have members of them on loan to them.

At lot of them are ex military and SAS too.

Please screech a bit louder next time, Lucy.

NSW Commish says they've got contact with him.
They've cleared all other sites of any threat.

I have nothing but praise with the way the authorities have both dealt with this and communicated the information they want revealed to the public.
Looks to me that when they are saying we have the 'best personnel in the world' it's because they know we actually do have that expertise.

Pleasantly surprised to date - the forces appear to have shit locked up tight, and as under control as possible.

How many hostage-takers do we think there are?

Common theory is one but can't be just one bloke, surely

I consider myself fortunate to have not witnessed Mel.
In fact I may not know who she is.
Had sound off on ABC half the time couldn't stand it.

Why can't It be one bloke?

There is zero evidence to suggest more than 1.

Police have time on their side, he can't stay awake and vigil forever.

My god our news stations are cringeworthy.

Let's give the terrorists exactly what they want, coverage.
