All your doubts about Beijing's readiness for the Olympic Games? These Segway-ridin' police will crush them!

Security forces recently held an "anti-terrorist drill" in Jinan, in Shandong province south of Beijing, to practice riding these truly terrifying electric scooters. The demo also gave cops an opportunity to show off their martial arts skills, flamethrower handling and mob dispersing techniques. Watch out, nightclub owners!

What is going ON in that picture!?!?! Haha ok now I see the guns. Wow. At first glance I thought they were just pointing their hands in front of their faces, like doing a bunny imitation. I need a nap.
