People in Singapore have no reason to complain about police brutality. It is something in fact just opposite - police often acts (over)gently, warning, rather than punishing so I guess people are positively surprised that despite of the rarity of such incidents the police acted fully professional and the right way.singapore eagle wrote:It's interesting seeing the reaction on social media.

In other countries, people might be a bit slower to believe the police's account. Others might question whether it was necessary to use lethal force.
I say this with no agenda. It's just quite eye-opening.
in certain cities you could name, the getaway car would have had 45 miles of 6-lane highway to play on, at 3x the speed. plus, the police would have been sure that the guys inside have at least assault rifles.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Oh, they are questioning it here already.
