I work with the cops here sometimes and I like showing them pictures of how much better cops do their job in other places. Like, most places in asia they just use something like dog catching sticks the poud has and everyone is just fine. Imagine the 3k tazer that doesn't work half the time replaced with a fancy pool skimmer.
Sucks to suck pigs.
iirc USA and its former colony the Philippines are the only countries with cash bail
Aren't there some places in the Middle East and SE Asia which still assign their police wicker shields like the ones King Xerxes' army had?
I wanna say Shanghai but It looks like it is from a demo supply expo. I don't think the swords are in use. I think some departments do issue those sheilds but they are not the standard use one. I know shenzen at least experemented with long batons like that but I think the sword model they went with was a lot simpler. Dunno if those are still in use today but they would be way more useful than the batons our cops get. Short batons are only capable of hitting people harder but that isn't actually useful. A long baton like thst could be used to safely controll space with much less violence.
i just wanted to confirm they weren't singaporean theres no visible stars or anything lol so i was curious
on batons i think dog catching sticks are also the ideal, do your thwacking and subduing from spear-length, and they're perfect for human fence sort of deals
Invoking the spirit of Alice I have determined they look nothing like singapore cops uniforms. Not having proper badges supports my idea that this are display models.
With the dog catching sticks you don't even thwack people. You just scoop them. It is the ideal tool. There are cool videos of like japanese school teachers just safely taking down people with knives.
Soap_Owl? How many owls do we have down? Dirt_Owl, Yurt_Owl, Owl, and now Soap_Owl? This website has too many owls
it huret my brain keeping track of them all and they keep shitting on my shoes
*Parliament of owls
Owls engaging in bourgeois electorialism confirmed
Videos of unarmed Scottish police dealing with knife crime are good for this too. Again, acab, but showing hogs in the US that not every police interaction has to end with a barrage of gunfire can be helpful
Right. It is absolutely mind blowing to see how their job cold simply be done well
