Why our men in blue din use their firearms?

The mob was over-whelming. If you had been to Little India, you would know by now that the little place has expanded into Bigger India stretching from Rex Cinema to the old New World....and the whole place is flooded on a SUNDAY with many foreign workers.

If news of any death or any gun fire or the use of firearms by our security forces, the situation would have been catastrophic!!! The action taken by our security forces ( one of great restraint) was admirable.Not a single shot was fired despite the gravity of the situation. It was something most unexpected but it is something which many of us here had warned our Government about - the potential danger of too many foreign workers congregating in one enclave.

A major shift in our foreign workers policy is called for - for the safety and security of all Singaporeans.

It is always easy to criticize on hind-sight.

If you had seen the mob, your balls would have shrunk to your mouth.

But our Home Team stood steadfastly with their guns and exercised great restraint in the face of the maddening mob....Kudos to all our security forces. A misjudgement would have been catastrophic!!!

They can't use firearms as there were many innocent bystanders around. It's also difficult to spot who the rioters were as there were so many dark skin people around and the rioters can easily blend with the crowd.

Right or wrong, the decision made on the spot was probably the right one.

The aftermath tourist!

TCH: Damn surreal balls! Actually happening in our watch!
BD: Act solemn, just act solemn, not the right time to shoot off my mouth!
Actsy guy, no idea who the fuck is he: Just stand kombang & they will run away, see how they run away when you stand like me!
Rest of the tourist: porlumpar jiu bo daiji! porlumpar jiu bo daiji!

But according to the stubbornly undead lau chee bye, not the case leh. Remember he said this.

"If I have to shoot 200,000 students to save China from another 100 years of disorder, so be it."

That's why you don't see alot of riot in China...after what happened in Tian ah min in 89....

Were the police officers in their cars when they were overturned? If so, I believed they should have fired a warning shot in the air.. I reckon a lot of the mob around the car will scatter upon hearing the gunshot.

Whatsmore, imagine the outcome should the police officers had lost their life after their car had been overturned and run over by the mob, and not discharging their firearm to protect themselves?

If the police cannot protect the rest of the emergency services from being attacked by the mob, then what is the use of being there?

I reckoned the fire engine who ran away should have stayed on and used their water cannon to cool off the mob..

It definately does show a lack of first hand experience on the part of the home defence team..

It is shameful, instead of resigning or apologising to the people of Spore they are using this as a photo opportunity


Are those men surrounding the MPs their bodyguards For many "lesser mortals" we have to rely on the rule of law. If they keep importing those vast numbers of foreigners without proper checks we will have problems like dengue & riots.

 

[sleaguepunter]

Please la, at least use tear gas to immobilize them la. Set up barricades to block them in. Those cheebye policemen only know how to do this

i always wonder what happen to this chia chua mata after the polification of this picture on the internet.

It will be also a very GRAVE incident when his zombie papa dies and is buried 6-feet under.

So good ah? No need to cremate? I thought land is scarce in Singapore, with cemeteries demolished and bodies exhumed?

Here are some real riot police with real shields.

I totally agree. We should congratulate our Home Team for their great diplomacy and restraint. However, I am sure if the mob came and went for our men, I am very sure, firearms would have to be used. If any of our security forces were threatened with injury or when the mob came for them with assault weapons, I am very sure the situation would be disastrous.

Fortunately , common sense prevailed and what we witnessed was just burning and destruction of our vehicles and buses. And this is again, a sign of suppressed anger , frustration and discontentment. A grave sign indeed and a very grave situation which should be properly debriefed and further action adopted. Reminds me of the Hock Lee riots and I think this is worse!!!
