Can you distill that down to a 5 minute segment showing the actual shot?

No, it's Hulu. And after all the hype while I was watching it, they never get to take the shot. But it is awesome to watch their snipers deployed with a M82.

Phil, Tom brought this up previously, you all are a bunch of ex-cons (OK, some are, most descended from them). WTF are you doing letting these wankers get away with this kind of oppression? Rise up, start a movement. Git 'er done!

As for the Dallas SWAT team, I could not help but chuckle at the fact that Dallas SWAT, with their "assault APC" and "Sniper APC", the money spent on the Barretts and training, all got outdone by 1 car with 2 Texas Rangers in it with 1 M-16(?) actually doing the stopping of the truck. Priceless.

And what's with SWAT guys hanging onto the back of their "assault APC" at road speeds? Where's OSHA on that one?

I was wondering that same thing Path. All it would take is one pothole at highway speed and they'd look like the mexican swat team. ;D I guess they recruit them for balls, not brains.

Good show. It also resembles a commercial for EO-Tech.   Bill T.

BTW, Phil, don't sweat not being able to see it. Very anti-climactic, they never fire the Barret, in fact the only shooting was by the Rangers to stop the truck.

I want those 25 minutes back. Double for having to watch the Verizon commercials as well.
