You were watching - did you notice the big shield the police were standing behind. That was because of the risk of explosives. It wasn't for show.

I did! It made quite a contrast with the police hunkered down behind there while the little fruity waiter guy came scampering by. I swear, somebody could have just walked in there and popped that guy. Right then.

To continue, they knew very well there were no explosives in there. It was an abstract threat without substance at that time. But DOCTRINE rules. It's all part of the death of common sense.

Except for the other police you couldn't see, because the news crews had been told exactly which angle to film from in order to show the guy inside exactly what the police wanted him to see.

They did not know there were no explosives in there.
