    So they were stealing diesel/kerosene?

    Explains the barrels and fuel supply logo.

    Which is interesting given trump’s quote:

    On Sunday, Trump had said the UK and US were investigating the suspects “for a long time” and that they “were looking to do big damage to our fort”.

      Kind of proves that he just invents convenient lies, if anyone still needed proof.

    How is it a mystery? Trump lied to try and drum up support for his failing, disaster of an administration. The UK police didn’t lie for him.

        I mean, he’s weirdly old to be doing SWAT work, if he gets shot the ER will have to contend with all sorts of comorbidities. He’s holding an AR with a half full mag like it’s a break action shotgun. His vest is so low it isn’t covering his vitals, and he has one of those floppy drop holsters that get caught on everything. At least he has some sort of hat hanger?

        Also why do they have dissipator ARs? Those aren’t exactly known for reliability, the rest of the world has moved to 11.5 with a pistol length gas tube.
