Climbed up the tank. Said hi to the tank operator. Climbed down. Got escorted out by student protesters.
After climbing on the tank a few times, and talking with the tank commander, he was eventually lead away by some other onlookers completely unharmed.
Standoff, lil' dance, mans climbs on the tank then gets off. The tankers open some hatches and there's some sort of conversation, then some people from the (presumed, offscreen) crowd run in and move him away.
Pretty obvious that the civilians are surprisingly unafraid of the war machines and the soldiers, and conversely the soldiers aren't acting afraid of the crowd
