    Default Who's in Melbourne?

    Just watched a cavalcade of Police Bikes clear the road
    Followed by the Police Armoured vehicle
    Then a white Falcon running the flag on the bonnet

    Pulled into the Sofitel, secured the area, then flanked the occupant inside




    Bit over the top for a Politician i'd have thought?
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    It was Kim Kardashian.

    Isn’t she the single most important person in the world??

    Haven't seen any media coverage.... seems rather odd.

    I hope Vicpol are charging her for the use of resources.

    Those blue lights sticking out near the riders kidneys look a bit dangerous if the bloke was to have a tumble
    Shirley they can incorporate one into the rear mudguard

    Maybe the Poles in Melbourne are a "credible threat"
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    It would have to be the entire Vic or at least Melb Scooterpig Squad assembled in one place you'd think.

    And it's amazing the size bike they ride.
    They are pretty nimble on them I believe.
    Not that I've tried to find out

    if anyone wanted to demonstrate that there is more of a threat of pranksters in Melbourne than there is of harm to a Polish Presidents ego - a good trick would be to mix all those helmets up and swap them around a bit

    What i find interesting, was the huge presence of many Police ushering cars off the streets makes.
    There were heaps of motorists honking their horns at police, as they where shoved out of their lane.

    Talk about "Look at me, Look at Me"

    I'd have thought arriving covertly would have been a much better way to not attract the wrong attention.

    Perhaps this is what we do to show off to other countries
    Shame they don't send the same amount of resources out to tackle the Apex Gang or thierfing Junkies.
