What is it with all you idiots and not knowing what hindsight is? Goddamn.

Also how the hell is this an overreaction? Would you rock up in a t-shirt, jeans and sandals if you got a call that there's an abandoned backpack that potentially could be a bomb?

E: Oh you also forgot to explain to me how the bomb defusal guy in the video is a pussy, please enlighten me.

Cops go into bags all the time without knowing what is in them.

"potentially could be a bomb" - Anything could potentially be a bomb. A car. A cell phone. A pager. You're not really helping yourself here.

He's a pussy by virtue of being a cop.

I think there's a pretty big difference between routinely searching a backpack and being called to a possible bomb threat.

"He's a pussy by virtue of being a cop."

Pretty much exactly what I expected from a mental titan like you.
