Soldiers and policemen are undertaking joint patrols in Nigeria's main city, Lagos, after a running battle between them on Tuesday left three dead.

At least they were, as Pekka says, showing passion.

My bet, Army.

Look, I win!

[DinoDoc]

I bet that's the last time they pick a fight with that unit.

I hope this triggers a civil war

Imagine how cool video footage we could get from it!

Soldier, policeman.

You can both have a free ride on the bus, just keep those guns in their holsters!

[Pekka]

Dauphin, I approve your message!

You mean in all that firepower and destruction, they didn't actually succeed in hitting each other? Deary me, not only are they out of control, they're lousy shots too
