It's a bit over the top hey.

Hollywood Royalties - it seems like they think that Hollywood needs even more money than it already has! Essentially its just a big fight over money isn't it? Some principles involved though...

Sneaky little red room!

If they wanted to arrest him they could have send in one or two cop cars, they already had his servers.

is Hollywood running the show?

Surprised they didn't use the distraction of the Olympics and have the seals extract Assange from the Embassy.

I dunno, that rhino looked like a real threat! It must be well trained, as it never moved the whole time.

It was probably just a chance for the NZ police to practice for when there is a real threat, but it does seem a bit over the top.

Lots of fun that day for my nephews who live just down the road - they loved seeing all the police cars and helicopters buzzing around. Massive over the top display - certainly influenced by the presense of the FBI one would imagine...... Its great too see that lots of the stuff has now been thrown out as evidfience that can be used. Love it. He may not be the most moral person in NZ at the moment but he is there legally and should be treated failry and by the laws of the land whilst that remains the case.

The sad reality is that most Anglo speaking countries kiss yank ass, and when the yanks say jump we say HOW HIGH SIR.

The Kiwis wanted to show themselves capable to their yank audience, and in the process degraded themselves to and bunch of neo nazi thugs.
Australia would have probably gated up the whole town, disrupted all radio comms, and sent in a couple of choppers... like those black hawks their so keen on using.

The proper way...
2 detectives: Mr Dotcom we have search warrant issued by Judge Dredd.
Dotcom: Sure come in.
2 detectives: Officers proceed to search.

No way Flysurfer, The proper way is the Victoria Police way. It's a "time honoured" form of policing, used extensively by the drug squad in the 1980's, and then again by the Purana task force against their traditional rivals, the "carlton crew", the Pettingills, the Pearces and the Williams.
