SWAT Team members use cover as they approach the armoured bulldozer in Granby, Colorado. I think that these SWAT members ar from my agency... though I am not sure. The lone member in the tan pants with the stripe appears to be wearing our uniform (tan pants, green stripe and green shirt) though its obscured by the body armour.

Maniacle People

Why is it that people are always able to do the unexpected? What I mean is, click the link and read the story.

I can understand the holding a grudge and doing damage. Luckily he didnt hurt anyone while he was alive.

For those that cant follow the link, let me summarize -
Up in Granby (70 miles from Denver) a man who had a dispute with the city whent on a rampage. He had an armoured bulldozer and tore down a few buildings in the town... not that the town had buildings to spare.

Detail

"The virtual tank had cameras mounted outside and three video monitors mounted inside so Heemeyer could see where he was going. It had a .50-caliber gun on the front and two smaller-caliber semi-automatic weapons, one on each side, protruding through portals. It was equipped with an air conditioner, and its hydraulics were protected by armor. Its cab was reinforced with quarter- to half-inch metal plates, with a foot of concrete between them. Inside, there were a gas mask and two handguns, said Granby Mayor Edward Wang."
