#1 Wait a sec! 7 police firing 5000 rounds in an "encounter"? That's over 700 rounds apiece, or a couple of boxes of LMG or rifle ammo in all. You sure they didn't just sell it last week on the Black Market and have to come up with some excuse why it was missing?

#2 Didja see the video of the apartment building? Looked like a Swiss cheese, with the number of holes increasing the closer you got to the windows. And keep in mind that the 5000 round figure probably also includes all the AK mags that were fired off in victory celebration by the coppers. Fox had video of that, too...

#3 There was 7 originally, but then they called in the local Keystone Kops and dozens showed up, after capturing the Jihadis, some of the Kops punched, kicked and pulled guns on each other over which department got to keep them.

#4 After reading Pauls' comment, I'm sitting here in stitches! I've not seen the video, but it sounds hilarious!.

What is it that's causing the Pakistanis to be so obliging? Whatever it is, more please!
