PAP Spin - Police was outnumbered

If only Sinkies themselves have the guts to mass riot...unfortunately, even the 40% who voted again have no interest to topple govt.
 
Haha this is really funny, got such thing as having 90 police officers but didnt feel like 90 and thought only 9 around, proof that must be all hiding so cannot be seen...

you believe this bs about 90 police? just count the nos of police cars. one at max is only 4 pax. but ususally 2 pax during operation. more likely 90 police in 30 kilo radius
 
Some dropped their lumpar ji that night when they saw the rioters so their balls were severely outnumbered.
 
Those rioters should have overturned the ambulance and set it on fire instead of the police car.
 
If the COI panel have any brains, this bs about being outnumbered would have been torn apart.

There wasn't 400 protestors then. 90 law enforcers, most of them have firearms can't control 150 crowd, that's a serious concern on the capability of our SPF.

And communication radios and phones were not working in crisis.

How has our billions being spent on the SPF?

90 police that mot included certis cisco,plaincloth police and traffic police add together is about 200 cannot even face 150 rioter????
This is become more worst than expected.
 
They could have just lobbed a few tear gas grenades... very efficient at crowd dispersion.

How expensive can one of those be? Surely they're cheaper than the repair bill for the destroyed vehicles. :rolleyes:

And do you really need to write a report for using batons and tear gas? Even if so, how hard can writing a standard template report be? You're not writing a novel or a thesis... you're simply describing the incident with factual details. It's a brain-dead task. You probably won't need to write more than 2 A4 sheets.

Our poodles are really nincompoops. I bet they got complacent when Wong Kan Seng - an utterly unqualified and talentless man - was the Home Affairs Minister. Stop boasting about your little triumphs with horrible acting on CrimeWatch and just focus on doing your bloody job. :rolleyes:

Besides the riot at Little India, there was also a robbery at the same time... taxpayers were robbed.

Oh yes tear gas will be very effective and safe, can use water to disperse crowd too...

9.40pm at Orchard NPC. Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Edwin Yong Wen Wei heard police officers from Kampong Jaya NPC requesting back up for an incident along Racecourse Road.

He then heard ASP Jonathan Tang making a request via the radio, and drove to attend to the incident along with Corporal Arshard Abdul Murad in their police vehicle.

=> Where was he when he received the call for backup? Did he try to gather more men from his station before going there? If not, why not?


They arrived at the scene at about 9.50 pm and parked about 10 metres away from the ambulance that was in front of the damaged bus involved in the traffic accident.

He observed that there was about 150 male Indians throwing objects at the bus. He then proceeded to the bus to assist the officers there.

The crowd spoke in English about how their friend was involved in the accident.

He also noted that the communication system was jammed as many were trying to communicate via the radio all at the same time.

=> Time to investigate where has all the budget gone to!


Providing cover

ASP Yong and Corporal Arshard saw that the officers present at the scene were being pelted by projectiles, so they went to get two shields from the police car and helped the officers defend the SCDF crew, who were extricating the body pinned under the bus.

ASP Jonathan Tang, who was then the highest ranking police officer and first on scene, took charge as the commanding officer and gave the directions that the priority was to defend the SCDF officers. He subsequently transmitted this instruction to the other officers.
ASP Tang then told ASP Yong to move his vehicle so that the ambulance could move.

As they made their way to the bus again after escorting the bus driver and the timekeeper to the ambulance, they were once again pelted by the crowd.

Around eight police officers have gathered at the fire engine and as ASP Yong did not have a shield, he was pushed to the centre of the group for protection. At this point in time, he saw that four of the officers were injured as the projectiles continued to rain down on them.

Regroup

He then boarded the ambulance along with the rest of the officers to regroup and plan the next phase of action. Taking note of the injured officers at the back of the ambulance, ASP Tang discussed with the SCDF officer at the front of the vehicle about how to get out of the place as there were no officers outside of the ambulance guarding it.

They managed to drive off and stop at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Racecourse Road, where they formed a line to stop the rioters from proceeding any further.

=> Or more like they are safe and sound there?

The officers could not do anything but wait for the Special Operations Command (SOC) to arrive, while taking steps to ensure the safety of innocent parties by preventing the public from entering, and the rioters from exiting, Racecourse Road.

ASP Yong estimated that he had at the time 15 to 20 officers with him. When asked by COI member and former police commissioner, Mr Tee Tua Ba if they could stop the rioters of 100 over individuals, he replied that they could not, but it was not an issue as the rioters were focused near the scene of the accident.

=> Tee was trying to expose his bs about forming a line to hold off the Indian FTrash rioters lah!

Controlling the crowd

When the SOC finally arrived at the scene to disperse the crowd, he continued to focus on cordoning off the junction between Bukit Timah Road and Racecourse Road.

He did not feel at any point in time was it justified to use his firearm as the prerequisite stated in the firearms protocol were not met, and he believed the use of firearms would likely have aggravated the crowd.
He also noted that many of those in the crowd were drunk, as he noticed the bloodshot eyes and smell of alcohol from them.

=> Quick to toe the boss' line! Smart Alex! Got future!


ASP Yong did not feel that the T-baton could be used to disperse the crowd as, it was meant for defensive purposes and it had a short range. He felt that the riot shield was more effective instead.

He also felt that there was a language barrier during the whole incident as the crowd could not understand his instructions made in English.

=> Common language is the bullet! Too bad he was too afraid to use it or to write a report after using it!


He said that he was trained in crowd control and conflict management involving disputes, but not something of this scale.

=> And the dummy used in his training has the face of CSJ on it?


Not enough manpower to make arrests

With the number of officers on site, ASP Yong did not feel that there was enough manpower to effect any arrest. Their priority was to protect SCDF, the timekeeper and the bus driver, and any arrests made would be of secondary importance.

He also said that he did not make any arrest during the incident and was instead making sure his men were accounted for.

=> He only brought along one dude and escaped with a few. So what is there to account for?


He also did not notice that the SOC arrested anyone but noted that the plain-clothes officers were the ones making the arrests.

=> And the Arm Pais are trained in crowd control of this scale?


When COI chairman Mr Selvam made the point about the police being spooked, ASP Yong felt that he had to clarify. He said that the officers were merely quickening their process of getting from one place to another, and consolidate the limited number of officers present.
When Mr Tee asked ASP Yong if he recited the riot act to the crowd, he replied that he did not and he do not think that the crowd would listen as they were emotionally affected by the accident and a single phase would unlikely have any effect.

=> Forgot to bring notebook PC containing the PDF document of the act lah!
