webfact Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Cops reveal stick method to subdue suspects By Anek Krajaem The Nation Muang Maha Sarakham police demonstrate how to use sticks to subdue a suspect on Tuesday. MAHA SARAKHAM: -- A video of Maha Sarakham police using Y-shaped and hooked sticks to subdue a frantic drunken man, which went viral on Monday, was part of a wider strategy, it was revealed. It is part of Provincial Police Region 4 training to reduce injuries to suspects and arresting police when attempting to subdue knife-wielding or agitated people, said Muang Maha Sarakham precinct superintendent Colonel Chairoj Nakharaj. He said that once a week since last year, each precinct under Provincial Police Region 4 has had a team of four officers trained in how to use three Y-shaped and one hook-shaped stick to subdue suspects. The hook stick is used to pull a suspect off their feet and the Y-shaped sticks are used to hold them down. Chairoj said the method is used only when deemed appropriate. The incident in the video, which went viral after its was posted on the precinct's Facebook page, took place on Saturday after police were alerted to a drunken man wielding an object that looked like a long knife wrapped in a cloth at the Maha Sarakham Bus Station. He was arrested for creating a public disturbance.

colinneil Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 So what they gonna do? Maybe say to the suspect, hang in there for 10 minutes while the fancy shaped sticks are brought from the police station. Totally impractical for police to carry them around.

This stick comes with an optional extra. That being a small basket on the end where the suspect can deposit donation money at no risk to the police.

dksharron Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 If 3 meter sticks had 30 cm diameter hooks, then they could pull on legs and drop the suspect easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the ones that drive 60 miles an hour in suburbs where little children play in the street? Ik could really not care less about whether they live or die.
