'A shop owner told TOC that his things were thrown around by the rioters and had to seek refuge inside his shop. He claims that he called the police 10 times to have the riot trucks to be deployed and that when the trucks finally arrived, most of the rioters had already run away.'
1st World Police Force.
In this clip, you can see the rioters are gathering and hiding around the alleys, at around 3:00 the police car in front of the fire truck was attack and then the rest in the alleys start to get bolder and then police cars flipping starts.
The 33-year-old Indian national who died in the fatal accident, which sparked the Little India riot on Sunday night has been identified.
The man, who declined to be named, said Mr Kumaravelu's family has not been notified of his death.
I think that because we've not had a riot for so long, there was no riot squad on standby, just small SOC contingents to handle armed robberies. So, they would have had to recall the Gurkhas and others to form up and move out. That took time.
From this incident, it clearly shows that our Sillypore riot police can't even match those Thailand riot police or even Malaysia riot police at all.
Thailand riot police are very well trained and experience in handling these kind of real riot situation all these years.
But our Sillypore riot police is only good in carrying out exercises and simulation during peaceful time.
I doubt if the riot happens in a much larger scale, all poodles will shit in their pants.
Have to shoot at people to be good riot police?? I think they did a fantastic job. A heavy handed approach would have just escalated the situation further.

They are only good at catching Black Spider and Scorpion.
i bet the gurkhas were also caught with their pants down, sunday nite, the gurkhas themselves maybe as sober as the keling rioters. haha.... Mt Vernon camp only 15min drive from riot scene yet took them an hour to arrive. tsk tsk...
more than 400 workers participated in the riots but only 27 persons were arrested. in percentage wise, it is less than 7% singapore gst (soon to be 10%)
How come this riot squad so fast?

Old fart seems to favour a heavy handed approach.
This is what he believe:
"If I have to shoot 200,000 students to save China from another 100 years of disorder, so be it."
