Police Gets New Anti-Riot Weapons! Pro-Opposition Supporters Better Behave!

SINGAPORE: More is being done to help the men in blue better resolve violent public order incidents like 2013's Little India riot.

In the next few months, Police Tactical Unit Officers from the Special Operations Command will be equipped with a less lethal weapon - called the P4.1 - which can be used against violent suspects who pose a physical threat to the public or to police officers.

The weapon - which resembles a rifle - allows the officer to launch a projectile that is either filled with indelible paint to mark and identify rioters, or filled with Oleoresin Capsicum - an irritant which has a similar effect to tear gas. The weapon - painted orange to distinguish it from other equipment - will not compromise public safety or cause unnecessary injuries or casualties.

The police force is also exploring the use of Unmanned Police Aerial Vehicles to enhance policing capabilities during public order situations. The drone will come equipped with blinkers, siren, searchlight, and surveillance functions. It could be deployed to increase police presence and boost situational awareness.

These gadgets were unveiled at the Police's annual workplan seminar on Friday (Apr 24).

LIGHTWEIGHT LOAD-BEARING VESTS BE TRIALLED FROM JUNE 2015

It is not just the officers handling bigger-scale incidents who are getting a boost. From June 2015, police officers who perform frontline patrol duties will get to trial ergonomically designed and lightweight load-bearing vests. The aim is have better weight distribution of patrol equipment carried by officers, and provide capacity to accommodate additional equipment needed in certain situations.

Currently, officers carry their their equipment on a utility belt around their waists. The trial will be conducted at Ang Mo Kio North Police Centre.

The uniforms worn by frontline patrol officers will also be modified to better integrate with the new vest - and the uniforms will be made from a material that allows better heat dissipation and breathability.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PATROLS ON... ELECTRIC UNICYCLES?

Residents could also soon see police officers on electric unicycles patrolling their neighbourhood. A trial is currently underway, involving community policing officers at Jurong East and Sengkang Neighbourhood Police Centres.

These will augment police presence on the ground and complement current modes of patrol such as foot and bicycle patrols.

Electric unicycles will allow officers to cover more ground compared to foot patrols, and are more portable compared to bicycles. The trial ends on Jul 31, 2015.

Indeed. Later those foreign countries not happy, raise up a diplomatic issue and take away business opportunities for Sinkieland, then how?

But the vendor which has provided these equipment for the poodles is laughing all the way to the bank now. :wink:

All talk cock only. I already cannot remember when was the last time I saw a foot patrol on the street. Remember the report of mata on mountain bike a few years back? Never see them at all too.

The procurement officer must be bee dang from all these.

High tech sophisticated weapons and gadgets doesn't prove anything when it comes to whether each of those poodles have the "courage and commitment" to engage a riot on the streets.

Singapore Police Force develops new gun to shoot rioters

The P4.1 unveiled at the Singapore Police Force Workplan Seminar. Pic: TODAY

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has outdone itself once again. It has developed a rifle that will allow officers to fire pepper spray bullets. The P4.1 is to be used by riot troops against dangerous rioters.

The weapon serves a dual function. It allows the police to mark their targets so they can be identified and arrested later, and it also acts like a flying tear gas projectile. The bullets contain a substance called oleoresin capsicum which is basically pepper spray.

Shooting someone will therefore cause tearing, pain, temporary blindness and in some cases, death. Of course, a bullet to the eye could mean permanent blindness. But don’t worry, the SPF has said that this new rifle won’t cause unnecessary injuries or casualties. If you do get hurt, it’s because you were in a riot. Although they may sometimes be tardy, Singapore’s riot police are excellent marksmen—they never miss.

For most of us, this is great news. For too long now we have lived in fear of widespread public disorder. The SPF recently had to arrest two protesters who threatened to cause social upheaval by waving their placards outside the Istana. And in previous cases, officers had to surround and manhandle activists to protect them from themselves.

When a riot broke in Little India in 2013, the reason why things went out of control was because our police officers didn’t have the P4.1. This had nothing to do with the lack of faith in our police officers and everything to do with alcohol intoxication. The best solution is to instil greater fear. If we cannot persuade our citizens to be peaceful, we can at least make them fearful.

Instead of relying on the good old baton, the SPF can now shoot ungrateful citizens. Gone are the days of naïve governance. The carrot and stick approach only works in Nordic countries. Here in Asia we just use the gun.
This is extremely good news. We are a vulnerable nation, surrounded by Muslim countries. We are also a multiracial country. And we don’t have a strong national identity. This means that the best solution is to continue to develop the state’s capability to use force. We must always be ready for Total Defence. If we aren’t, society will descend into chaos and we will not be able to walk the streets at night without fear of being raped.

A state that has a monopoly on violence is not good enough. It must continually seek to improve its ability to use force against its own people. That is the only way we can be safe. This is what nation-building means.
Other countries may be complacent, but if we are, we will not survive. We cannot let our guard down. We must constantly innovate and develop new ways to instil fear in the people who might dare to rise up against the democratically elected Government.

This is especially important given the growing demands for democratisation. As the Government’s legitimacy is threatened by an increasing realisation that fundamental democratic freedoms are lacking, it must retain its ability to shore up its legitimacy with the power of the gun.

After all, power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
