SWAT blames defective gear Here it comes, from a litany of Who Killed Cock Robin? And now its blamed on being ill equipped for having failed to launch a successful attack to disarm the rogue ex-policeman, Mendoza who held Hong Kong tourist as hostages and who eventually ended it in a carnage.
On the second day of the hearings last Saturday, members of the SWAT team of the Manila Police District (MPD) that conducted the assault said they could have done better had they been properly equipped.
PO3 Edwin Simacon and PO2 Francis Ungco, two members of the SWAT team that assaulted the hijacked bus, said the lack of equipment prevented them from conducting a successful assault.
My question to PNP: Why didn’t the order go out to the SWAT snipers, to fell the hostage-taker, when he was in full view on so many occasions during the 11 hours hostage debacle?
