SO... FUCKING... FAKE.
Where to start?
-The obviously not cop/military van.
-The obviously shitty looking bomb disposal robot (this seems to be in israel. They probably have the best bomb disposal robots on the planet. That looks like someone took an RC car and attached an airsoft shotgun to the front, and one of those fake surveillance cams on the top.
-The paint cans which somehow managed to spray paint the whole bus stop with a single shot, precisely when the camera points down.
-The fact that they were standing, no more than 20/30 meters from a potential bomb, and the cop? somehow seems to think that's enough.
etc.. etc..

edit: after a second viewing, even the shotgun fire is completely fake and digital.

The paint looks pretty fake...

Fake was my first reaction as well.
I've never seen spray paint get such great coverage before.
(even on the fence behind the glass backing of the bus stop)

Also, the paint starts out with huge drips down the glass, which don't continue to drip once the camera is on it.
If they dripped that far, that quickly, they'd still be dripping once the camera was back on them.

A fun project of Photoshopping this is.

The meaning of the word trolling is as lost as the artform itself.

A robot with an 80s security camera strapped to it that is still the beige color? WTF...

This is irresponsible to even put this fake video out there as it might encourage people to waste real police time with this bullshit. This isn't trolling nor a bomb squad and shame on the submitter for giving time to YT assholes thinking they are cute.

Real.
I researched this video extensively and can completely verify it's contents.

Trust me. I'm legit.

I can verify that those were in fact real people.

I assumed (and hoped) that it was fake right from the start. I would hate to have police resources of this magnitude wasted on a prank. The build-up laughing in particular would have really bothered me if I thought these guys were doing it for real.

But I still had to laugh myself at the result!

that's not a bomb-disposal robot.
that's a "blow me up" cart

The paint is going in the wrong direction! The shot gun would have pierced the side of the can facing it. If enough of the bag was actually shredded enough then the target that would have got spray painted would be the robot, not the bus stop. Also I imagine a shot gun to a spray paint can would yield a fire bomb, not a paint bomb.

Doesn't look fake to me, I live in Jerusalem and have witnessed more than a few "Bag frags". The van is equipped with surveillance gear and is meant to look like an average van.

- The shity robot is shity indeed,but real, did you expect a huge Mech?

- The robot fires bursts of rounds to make sure it doesn't miss areas in the bag itself, not single shots

- didn't see a problem with distance or the cops behaviour, to me, the fact that the camera man ducked and missed the actual explosion shows that he was genuinly afraid.

All the down votes on this made me laugh so hard!

you forgot to hit the sarcasm button. the fact that you think the ducking at the end was genuine fear is hilarious. they did that so they wouldn't have to do a complete computer-generated explosion, because it would have looked just as fake as the paint and smoke does when he brings the camera back up. christ, just look at the muzzle flash at 0:54.

the camraman was in on the "prank," so he had no reason to duck away. that's what gave it away for me.
