    This reminds me of a video that went viral on Twitter of a woman dual wielding butcher knives in China and the cops were able to apprehend her without lethal force. They used a long stick thing to lasso her leg while other officers used these plastic bins to subdue her without causing harm to her or themselves. Of course, the person who posted the video was crying about state oppression but thankfully many people came through to discuss how they handled the situation much better than western cops who would’ve beaten her to death had they not riddled her with bullets first.

      Iirc that clip was posted by some Fa Lun Gong cultists and it blew up in their faces pretty bad. Makes me wonder how out of touch they are with Western society that they thought cops putting themselves at risk to non-violently apprehend an armed person was an own against China.

      It’s also quite common to see cops with man catchers or staves all across East Asia. Very effective tools, but it takes a lot of training and coordination to use well.

      Fuck the UKKK, but I’ve seen some videos of a dozen cops apprehending a mentally ill man running around with a knife without anyone getting hurt besides some bruises probably, but all the comments were like “BRITISH COPS ARE PUSSIES BECAUSE THEY DONT IMMEDIATELY EXECUTE THE THREAT!!”
