It's somewhat fake. @1:25 you can see the the main firefighter has palmed a spring loaded hole punch window breaker. And @ :58 you can see in the top left corner of the broken window is a the hole he punched to weaken the integrity of the window. The tapping from the second firefight stressed it enough to fully break.

And that makes it funny: *comedy

That poor cat. Someone totally threw it onto the fireman pole. Haha.

Why is police just standing there "taking it"? Why are they not shooting teargas and rubber bullets and use sonic weapons?
Getting hosed with cold water and when covered in chemical fire suppressant is as close to "police assault" as it gets.
If these were regular citizens that street would've been covered in blood.

Actually, it's not taking place in the States, so I can understand your confusion.
I guess you haven't seen the recent protests in Belgium, Romania and other European countries.

What is "gold water". I googled it and only got stuff on Pokemon and that Arizona Senator (thankfully).
go join the spelling nazis party. i don't know what you are talking about.


Oh, sry dude. I thought that was some sort of fire-supressing liquid I hadn't heard of.

Cops vs Firefighters? This is like something out of Reno 9/11. Or maybe the next big Hollywood blockbuster.

LOL, why would you want a geriatric fireman running into your burning building to save you?>> ^chilaxe:
Retire at 58? Laziest mouth-breathers in the world.
Cutting-edge medicine is keeping people alive longer, so people have to save more for retirement --even if they work for the government.



Unless they're brain-dead or their hands have been amputated, they're able to work at an appropriate job, same as everybody else.

The idea that medical advances should continually extend the number of decades we spend in retirement but the money for it must be conjured from thin air is why people who are bad at economics bankrupt states like California, even with some of the highest taxes in the country.

Firefighting is a hard ass job. Retiring early does sound reasonable.

we may disagree but the thought of having one's "hose revoked" just makes me chuckle

Turn in your badge, and I want your hose on my desk, now!

They're afraid of getting hosed!>> ^gwiz665:

You sorta gotta wonder what they're afraid of to have all those cops there.

@mxxcon
I think its a notion called "restraint".
so what justifies restraint against these firefighters that are actively assaulting offices as opposed to regular citizens that peacefully protest?
