Terrace tunnel standoff

It's 6 meters up. How do you plan to get him to fall and not get fucked up?

Thats was your planned outcome. Ours might have been different.
Remember he did climb up there himself in an atempt to get away from the police that part of his plan failed after a few seconds.
He really had nothing to gain in the situation.

Mattresses on top of the bus roofs.

Spray the pipe with olive oil.

Wait.

Nah monsoon bucket from a helicopter. far more environmentally friendly. That way you can wash the buses at the same time.

It's a PC world now. I need to adapt better.....

Like those shits in there cars in Christchurch last week raising merry hell. Why the Police did not call the army at Burnham up for some tactical assistance is beyond me. Pretty sure they have a decent supply of burly lads in uniform, half tracks and all types of large heavy vehicles to form barricades or just drive over the front of offending vehicles

They probably need a pass from the Green Party before they drive over a public lawn though in case some special snail lives there.

Hey was that you I heard grumbling on talk-back radio while I was at work??

They had parked busses under him to catch him - or not.

So. . Was anyone else thinking - Fire hose?

How can a prick like this hold the city to ransom?

I thought it was you wigging out over your shock absorber fiasco.

Bouncy castle and a taser.

Quote of the year. Loved it. Moron drove the wrong way onto motorway. Maybe suicidal intentions so why give him 10 hours of fame to allow him to continue pissing off the general public who were trying to politely go about their business.
They bought in buses below him to soften his fall. Spikes come to mind.

Was thinking about what could have been done to get this idiot down. NZ Police presumably had no suitable non-lethal gear or they would have used it.

A search shows up all sorts of kit, some borderline science fiction, others of such size they would need to be mounted on a truck.

Bean bag shotgun cartridges are the most economical option although there are problems with range and accuracy. In the Wellington situation though the guy gave them enough time to practice until they either got good or they ran out of ammunition.

Then there are pepper balls, frangible balls that explode on impact releasing irritant chemicals. At the more modest end of the market these are fired from a paintball gun but there are more expensive and more sophisticated options.

Both of these non-lethal, or more correctly less-lethal, options can seriously injure or kill someone but in some circumstances may be a better solution than a bullet.

Here's an effective option for ground level scum bags.

Last time I saw the SAS deployed here was a prison riot at Mt Eden. The TV news showed snipers on a motorway overlooking the prison but that was many years ago before the Police had a Special Tactics Group.

You'd be surprised...

City held to ransom? It did show that there's probably too much reliance on a single roadway. What if something serious happened in the tunnel and it was closed for some weeks? You need Plan B.

It's wellytown.
Plan "B" really should involve nuclear explosions.

Before you feel sorry for him he earlier robbed a gun shop and that time he fired the gun in an urban area wasn't the first time he did it that day he was also heading for building full of people.
