Something else which some people might not have realised.
Folks high on drugs or simply nuts in the head, does not mean that the taser caan really stop them.
And if it were my hubby, my son or my brother being there and being charged at with a knife. I will still insist to shoot the bugger!
i think the amount of time and resources spent on this MSK is more of wasting public money.
we spent millions of dollars, no need to say where, to prevent such things and yet it happened. i don't see it happening elsewhere where little spending was done.
I would rather, they spend the money to provide better benefits to the POs, better pay & preferably some better subsidise for trainings in skills which the officer prefers.
Like maybe different martial art skills set training & IPSC/IPDA events that any officers can take on (with huge subsidise) instead of the few selected officers that is good ion martial arts or shooting.
After all, those good shooters are more often then not, training to shoot better for competition then actually patrolling on the ground.
If u saw one mad guy rushing towards to you with a choper,would you use the gun or the stun gun?
aiyah... best is change back to npp system. patrol officers won't have much paper work or investigation to do. focus more on action. shorter working hours. better morale.
npp system need more POs than NPC systems
that's good, means higher employment rate and also may mean low crime rate :D

What if it was you or your family charging? wouldn't you wish he'd deploy a stun gun instead?

To tell you the truth.
If me or my family do charged. I wished the officers has the sense to kill then to do all sort of funny tactics that keeps me alive, in agony or spend the rest of my life in prison/mental institution controlled by drugs, restraint or on a life prolonging machine.
For your comments, can only say you never been thru difficulties or have the sense to be responsible for your actions as yet.
BTW, if my family members does charged. I will at least have say they finally got some backbone.
What I find oddly funny is that the last time a policeman fired a gun in Singapore was 6 years ago. Damn, it's either this country is insanely safe or the police here are very effective at taking down criminals without using too much force. I have a feeling its the former.
y stun when u can kill rite?? jus kiddin..
it really depends on the officer at scene isnt it? the S.Os doing the paper work justifying the aoj only based on theory cuz they are not there experiencing it to have to make decisions of life and death.
back then, i was taught when assailant is not armed, we use t baton to overcome. if arm with knife and such,use the stupid cow. taser nt even introduced yet. mayb the PO also not used to taser den jus shoot lor..
