The USA is so cooked. Look at our Burgers in Blue get smoked by this Chinese SWAT Team.

seriously disapointing performance by the NYPD .., i dont know the rules but they didnt get a single bystander
- In their defense, I did not see any black people in the crowd.
  
  Should have painted the target black and the sniper would have 360 no scoped it. Also the dead weight dummy wasn't white, clearly the reason why the pigs struggled.
  
  In their defense, I did not see any black people in the crowd.
  I did. About 1:12 into the video. Green vest, black "SPARTAN" baseball cap, and sunglasses.
  Of course, that person might be one of the US team's own people, brought over to cheer them on.

I’ve said this for years. American and Americans have been romanticized by Hollywood about their actual capability.
Once you actually look at their accomplishments a lot of their might falls away.
- The only war the US has won in the 20th and 21st century is the one in Iraq, and only if you make an arbitrary cutoff point. They like to brag about WWII as if that wasn't the Soviets doing all the work. WWI? Literally same deal lol.
  The US isn't competent, it never was, it's just got enough money it can afford to pay its way out. Like a modern day Roman empire, paying it's way to avoid crisis after crisis while allowing it's internal infrastructure to fall apart.
  
  The US won Panama in the 90s by all means. That's just hard to paint as morally correct or as competent because USA vs. Panama boils down to like coughing baby vs. hydrogen bomb on population sizes alone.
  
  In Europe, you can say it was all the Soviets, but against Japan?

Top comment in that thread is just peak

The American sniper hesitated because the target was white.
I am convinced at least 1/3 of cop killings in the US are directly because the cops are too lazy to chase someone or go through the hassle of talking someone down.
Edit: rewatched it and jfc even their sprinting is in unison lol. While the Americans can barely be bothered to lumber over there

Wild difference between the centralized state organized and ran system of the public security forces of the PRC versus the decentralized regional gang system of the U.S.A
- It's almost like only one of the two was systematically designed to harm minority groups.

One of the upsides of American police being lionized and given way too much funding and not held to account when they fail is that a lot of their "fighting" prowess is just nonexistent when they don't have six of their friends in riot gear to also beat the shit out of you
- Same thing as the IDF.
- Same thing almost everywhere. Euromaidan was fascists taking over, but the fights with the police were still educational. Summer of 2020 got taken over by libs, but there, too, were lessons learned.
  Cops are top heavy and scared.
  
  Unironically political parties should train in phalanx tactics for mass demonstrations

That chinese team dummy pick up is insane. It makes the dummy look weightless
EDIT: Knock on wood and all but imagine you're wounded in an emergency situation in china and the next thing you know you're on two dudes shoulders, 10m away from were you were a second ago while they sonic the hedgehog your ass out of there
- I was confused, was the dummy meant to be an incapacitated victim? Because carrying it over the shoulder with no head support could exacerbate any spinal injuries. I get that this is all show, but I'd hope to goodness in a real situation there'd be more care paid to the victim.
  
  I mean it's the UAE Swat Challenge so I assume whatever scenarios they cook up appeals mostly to SWAT perverts. They're all gasmasking up before entering, I guess the assumption is nerve gas attack or some bullshit where becoming a paraplegic because the chinese cops yeeted you out of the dangerzone so hard your spinal cord fell out still beats death by asphyxiation.
  EDIT: Okay they called it a hostage rescue in the serbia attempt so I guess the assumption is this whole thing operates on counter strike logic except you're not limited to the follow command and everybody is metagaming it

Hahahahaha
Congress will now pass a ban on posting cop competition videos with a $1m penalty

$5 billion well spent lmao
They placed 84th out of 103 overall, and the highest ranking US cops were the San Antonio PD at 28th (China's teams placed 1st, 3rd, and 11th).
Also goddamn that website is fucking awful. How can you make the UX of viewing a table so miserable? A pure HTML table would be 1000x more usable than this JS monstrosity which provides zero additional features beyond the privilege of waiting 5 seconds for the page to load and then having to click every time you want to see the next or previous 10 items.
edit: I just grabbed the JSON and made it a Markdown table because fuck that. It even includes the countries which for some reason is in the JSON but not displayed in the table.

edit: Conveniently, other than Day 5, the order they participate in the events always has China Team B (who placed 1st overall) right next to the NYPD, so you'll only have to skip forward like a minute to see the other team. If you wanna see the contrast across all the events, here's the links:
Day 1 - Assault Event (start at 3:49:57, order is NYPD -> China Team B--also has the extra detail that apparently Trump signed an executive order to allow them to go???)
Day 2 - Tactical (start at 3:50:19, order is China Team B -> NYPD--this is the event from in the OP)
Day 3 - Officer Rescue (start at 8:47:44, order is China Team B -> NYPD)
Day 4 - Tower Assault (start at 19:35, order is NYPD -> China Team B)
Day 5 - Obstacle Course: NYPD (2:42:22, video is a bit glitched out so missing first 30 seconds), China Team B (starts at 11:36:14)
- remind me to never fuck around in Kazakhstan
  
  You need a reminder for that?
  
  does anyone happen to know why Kazakhstan is so strong at this and the like? Prob tangential, but I'm reminded of how Kazakhstan consistently produces Olympic medallists in combat sports like boxing and wrestling.
- bonus: "CHINA NUMBER ONE!"
  
  What's the timestamp for China number one?
- the difference in fitness on display between the NYPD and Team B in the obstacle course is staggering. NYPD just waddling about as if they were elementary schoolers on a playground (and then DNFed less than a quarter into the overall track lmao) while watching Team B's performance made my core hurt.
  also the Emirati commentator went hard for Team B's run lol
- Figured I may as well post the other tables for posterity since I went through the trouble of writing a script for it:
- Jesus Christ Kazakhstan!

::: spoiler But at what cost?
Had this happened before USAID got cut, then this event would have led to several thinkpieces about how it's actually good American police is incompetent and that this is proof of China being totalitarian.

You know who would have had some great stuff to write about this? 2016 Trump. The current gen just doesn't have the sauce, but you know Moist Donny would have some comment about
look at them! Chyna is beating us! You hate to say it, but look how they run, we can't run like that. Not anymore! I could, when I was younger, people would tell me I was the greatest runner they ever saw. But nowadays no one runs like that anymore. Except the Chinese

So, I'm gonna need a remake or a mod for SWAT 4 Gold that sets it in China and lets you fight Falun Gong and shit like that.
