"the police's Mobile Brigade unit."
BRIMOB right? The unit which benefits from training and "soft loans" direct from foreign nations such as Great Britain, in their case under UK legislation introduced to fight the War on Terror! Come on, did the officer use one of those expensive Armored Personnel Carriers the British tax payer funded?
