[Pic: Another incident where Singapore Police handcuffed a child; Internet]
I am told that Amos Yee was handcuffed in the presence of his grandparents when he was arrested. Was this warranted? Did 16 year old Amos attempt to escape arrest? How many police officers were employed to effect the arrest?
Here are sections 75 and 76 of the Criminal Procedure Code:
How to arrest:

75.
—(1) In making an arrest, the police officer or other person must touch or confine the body of the person to be arrested unless he submits to arrest by word or action.
(2) If the person forcibly resists or tries to evade arrest, the police officer or other person may use all reasonable means necessary to make the arrest.
No unnecessary restraint
76. The person arrested must not be restrained more than is necessary to prevent his escape.
​

It is best that the Attorney General respond to the claim that Amos Yee was handcuffed. If so, the police were clearly using unreasonable means to make the arrest. What was the intention of the police in using the handcuff? To shock and awe Amos and his grandparents?

Because he criticised Lee Cons U, the SPF wanted to show the world how it treats critics of the new god of sinkapore.

The SPF commissioner is no different from the mudland police IGP ...they act like dogs to the PM.

I am surprised Anus Yee didn't get punched in the face first before being subdued by force in front of everyone.

Famous Amos should immolate himself at his trial. Let the world see how the PAP and court treats critics of the regime.

All these stormtroopers should b set thinking why those who stood up against the empires and thier sith lords r young and yonger jedis.

Nay... Amos is more precious alive than dead. IMHO, his continuous and non-stop tauntings of the old man will be enough to break up the old regime. Papzis show themselves as foolish trying to protect the old man's image.
