What sycophantic ravings got to do with my posts? Are you jw5 incarnate or the shared nick oof jw5 the clone hunter? Stick to the discussion and please stop accusing the messenger of this and that....understand? good.
Now the facts: IMHO, it was a great achievement. They fled because the situation was grave and to save lives, both sides. Perhaps they were instructed NOT to fire any arms.
It was never LUCK in such a situation. It was quick thinking when you assessed the volatile and life-threatening situation. You knew you were out-numbered. You knew the situation was grave. You knew you were surrounded. So what if you wanted to use your fire power and shoot the rioters. How many could you injure and how many could you kill? The situation would certainly turn worse and there would be more fatalities,more injuries and more damages. The situation would turn bloody and violent with ugly deaths.
Our policement did the right thing. A very brace thing which I described as gracious and dignified retreat. They did not flee. It was a tactical and strategic retreat. They should be applauded for such quick thinking.
Not a single shot was fired. And the riot burnt itself out within 2 hours. This is world class performance and a model for all law enforcement agencies to emulate. Majulah Singapura!!!
Look at your statement in red, you call IMHO a fact.
That is your opinion not fact.
Again, "Perhaps they were instructed NOT to fire any arms." is not fact until you can show us proof such instruction.
What great achievement you are talking about

It is similar to a someone taking an exam.
Realizing that he went for the wrong exam he leave the exam hall with all eyes on him.
He score zero for the exam, do you call that a great achievement.
Give credit when credit is due.
Really, a "A very brace thing which I described as gracious and dignified retreat."
The clip below (at around 0:36) shows anything but a dignified retreat.

Sycophants like you would never admit that you are one. But your sycophantic posting is telling.
Just like the kid in the following clip, he is wrongly accused?
