Failure again

I ran to this site, Ten things the Philippines bus siege police got wrong from BBC. Charles Shoebridge, he is a security for the British Army and Scotland Yard provides us 10 areas that PNP needs to better handle a hostage crisis.


1.    Determination
2.    Lack of equipment
3.    Lost opportunity to disarm the gunman
4.    Lost opportunity to shoot the gunman
5.    Satisfying the gunman's demands
6.    Televised proceedings
7.    No element of surprise
8.    Safeguarding the public
9.    Using the gunman's brother to negotiate
10.  Insufficient training

More of this on BBC news.

i've also read this. the operation last Monday was really frustrating. i don't wanna point fingers at whoever but we could have handled things far better.

sad.
