How can you lose your service revolver so easily? The holster has a thumb break retention system. Must have been too complacent and asleep. Bloody useless poodle should count himself lucky to not have his head blown off.

The reports says "shots" were fired, luckily it was not in the common area, where it is divided by curtains only, or the bullets , will ricochet, not only hands gets injured....shoot any parts...A&E patients, go immediately!!

usually when they screwed up they get more then that.. probably the next commissioner of police post is lined up for him.

 

[rushifa666]

Suspect is a better policeman than he is! Unarmed scuffle, took both weapons and dared to open fire. Well done!

 

[virus]

unconfirmed report says that suspect used his own baton to slap the mata silly... before releasing the venom that blinded the mata.

In NZ, regular policemen are not armed with sidearms. Only the 'ARMED OFFENDERS SQUAD" are armed to deal with armed assailants when called (like SWAT).

In the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital; the policeman would have been exercising GREAT RESTRAIN like the Little India Riots. Lucky for him the police issued gun he was using probably had little STOPPING POWER, a real gun like a MAGNUM357 would have shattered his hand and hit another person.

The problem with arming ALL policemen in Singapore is they don't know how to safeguard their weapons or decide when is the correct time to use them:

1. Unarmed people driving cars failing to stop at police checkpoints end up getting shot dead. (Shangri La Hotel incident)
2. Regular SG policemen being poor marksmen may hit by-standers in any gunfire exchange
3. Greenhorn policemen may have their guns stolen by people they are escorting.
4. When threatened they rather hide in ambulances then fire their weapons against rioters armed with broken bottles and molotov cocktails (Little India Riots)
