I shit you not.
This appeared in my local news. I honestly have no idea how this even got on the news to begin with!
So. Idea was. Some guy was running through an open park about an hour from where I am. People called the police (Fair enough).
Police turn up. 40 Officers, heavily armed (Tactical gear, armored, shotguns etc) and a negotiator.
The man had climbed a tree, which is no more than 20 feet high (Edit, probably 30 feet...still!). He's right at the top with his 30CM blade (Which they don't know if it's a long knife or a Machete).
The Police have been standing around for this guy to come down and have been "peacefully negotiating" with him to come down. Although it has now been several hours.
Sorry if you didn't catch on there, I will help you.
Man with a 30cm knife. NOTHING ELSE.
Police are called.
40 Officers show up with a negotiator as the man climbs a tree.
Someone said he was going to kill them.
Police are now standing near the tree looking above and waiting.
Are you fucking serious?
Woah woah woah. So hang on a minute here. What did I just say?

40 OFFICERS FOR ONE GUY.
ONE GUY.
UP A FUCKING TREE.
One shot to the kneecap, he would fall and they could instantly apprehend him and take him to the hospital, get him fixed up and ask questions later.
Instead! The police have a great idea!

"LETS ALL GO DOWN THERE AND STAND AROUND. SHIT ALL THIS TACTICAL GEAR IS HERE, LETS USE IT! IT'S ALL GOVERNMENT FUNDED! FUCK IT BROS!"
Honestly, if you are where I am, the Police system is absolutely ridiculous.
They could've just sent 2 Officers down and rightfully got this guy.
BUT MAN HE IS UP A FUCKING TREE.
CHAINSAW THE TREE DOWN MAKING HIM FALL!
WHO GIVES A SHIT! THIS GUY DESERVES TO BE PUNISHED!
*Although, the Police are to be blamed at this point for letting it go SO long*.
I wish I was making all this up as it seems utterly absurd. But, it's not.
*Lemme Google to see if it's still going*
Yes. As of 1PM on the 4/5/2015 to the current time of writing which is 11:10PM on the 4/5/15. This guy is up the tree.
Want to see what the Police are up to, or what they have been up to -

*Sir, um, don't throw any leaves at us. Or any sticks. That may cause serious injury!*
Ok so yes, this man may be able to throw the knife and injure one of the Officers.
However!
I wouldn't be worried about all the Officers. They are decked out in this -

*I am a Special Operations Officer on duty to get a man down from a tree with my Pump Action Shotgun and Tear Gas and Armor and all that. Because he just may throw a stick at me!*
Just...look at them all....

Just...look at them all....

*What should we be doing Sir?*
MAKE SURE THE GRASS IS STILL FINE!

MAKE SURE THE GRASS IS STILL FINE!

Someone captured this photo (Courtesy of this person, you made the story!)
Ok...so the tree is not 20 feet high. Probably a little over 30 feet high.
SHOOT THE GUY AND LET HIM FALL. DO NOT LETHALLY SHOOT HIM! Just..you know...maybe throw a stick at the guy as a counter measure you know?

*I am standing on these rocks to protect them from that evil man in the tree!*

*On our phones and playing Candy Crush. Hey does anyone know where the nearest Maccas is?*
Ok that's enough. That's enough. The media, Police and etc are taking this WAY too far.
It could be solved SO EASILY!
So put it this way then.
An Officer, on a usual on the job drive, sees a driver pulling in and out of lanes.
The Officer then speeds after the other driver and pursues him until he pulls over.
The Officer steps out of the car, on his own, armed only with a handgun, tear gas, walkie and high visibility jacket, approached the car with caution.
The Officer then knocks on the drivers window.
The window unwinds with a squealing noise and shows a man in a black hoodie.
"Sir, why were you driving erratically back there?"
The driver then turns to his left and pulls a gun out and fatally shoots the Officer and drives off.
One Officer injured, a man on the run, a family left in grief etc.
Now look at the situation above, analyze it, now compare it to the main story.
Yeah....exactly right.
Police you get my applause for your absolutely idiotic reaction to this.
There are SERIOUS crimes out there. Go do something better than standing around and talking to this guy up a tree hoping he will just you know, come down and go, "No sweat bros, was waiting for the right moment!"
Then the Police all laugh and walk away and go "Hah, Silly Man!"
Pffft.
The next morning this WILL STILL BE GOING!
*Maybe we should poke the tree sir!*
*I've played Pokemon Gold and Silver! Spray the tree with a squirt bottle and the tree may get up and move!*
I can't make much more sense out of this situation, only to make it seem like a complete joke. This guy is just chilling in a tree with a knife. And there's a swarm of cops under him just waiting.....and....er...waiting...and waiting..........zzzzzzzz.
Fuck it, let's all give a warm applause for the efforts of the Tactical Teams and the negotiator and etc!
