StreetFight3r 6th Gear November 5, 2020 Share November 5, 2020 https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/police-shooting-balestier-suspect-attacked-officer-nov-5- SINGAPORE: A man was shot by a police officer during a raid on a residential unit along Balestier Road on Thursday (Nov 5), the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said. Three plainclothes officers entered the unit at City Suites condominiumat about 1am on Thursday as part of operations to track down suspects involved in a series of cheating cases. Four people were in the flat: A 36-year-old man, a 22-year-old man, a 33-year-old woman and a 23-year-old woman. Preliminary investigations showed that while the officers were in the unit, the 36-year-old man “suddenly lunged” at one of the officers and attacked him repeatedly, causing the officer to fall on the floor bleeding from the face, SPF said. A second officer warned the man to stop the assault but he did not. The 22-year-old man was then seen approaching the officer who was attacked, and the second police officer “assessed” that he would join the older man in assaulting the police officer. “Concerned with the safety of his partner, the second officer immediately drew his revolver and warned the (36-year-old man) to stop his assault,” said the police in a news release. The man did not comply with the warning and continued to hit the officer on the floor. Suddenly, he rushed towards the second officer and grabbed his revolver, said SPF. The 22-year-old man then assaulted the first officer, the police added. During the brawl, the second officer “discharged one round” from his revolver at the 36-year-old man. “This did not immediately stop (the 36-year-old man) from his attempt to snatch the second officer’s revolver and the struggle continued," said SPF. Both men were eventually subdued by backup officers who later arrived at the unit. The 36-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound to his abdomen and was attended to by paramedics before he was taken conscious to hospital. He is currently in a stable condition, SPF said. Two police officers were injured. The first sustained injuries to his face and arm, while the second officer sustained injuries to his hands and lips. The third officer attended to the suspect. The first and second officers felt their lives were under threat, Assistant Commissioner of Police Cheong Chee Ming, who is Tanglin Division commander, said during a press conference on Thursday. As a matter of protocol, the Special Investigation Section is investigating the officer’s discharge of the firearm. ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrosszero Turbocharged November 5, 2020 Share November 5, 2020 The shape of the bullet makes all the difference. 9mm para is supposed to provide kinetic stopping force whereas your SAF-issue 5.56mm round (which is smaller, has more propellant and is more pointy) is designed to f*** you up permanently. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic November 5, 2020 Share November 5, 2020 2 hours ago, Volvobrick said: Abdominal shot in the old days would mean a slow, painful death. Our policemen's revolvers no stopping power one.... Pistol round arent design to be deadly or lethal like our army rifle rounds. That's why most police force use pistol round weapons eg. MP4. Some bigger size ppl are able to withstand multiple pistol shots and still survive provided none of the vital organs are hit. Actually pistols dont disable the assailant immediately which is one of the cons of such a round, the intention is not to be too lethal in the first place. The police have to come up with tasers and pepper spray to add into their arsenal of weapons. These criminals they are after are so dumb. Attacking a police officer and snatching his pistol. What is the 36yo trying to achieve? Asking for a death sentence? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ct3833 Supersonic November 5, 2020 Share November 5, 2020 (edited) Police force very poor thing, explaining so hard after a police firing one shot, to me, firing a shot or two at this type of people unde such circumstances should not need any justification at all.
