&lt;p&gt;i think alot of people in SG are suffering from stockholm
syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cant believe sporeans are so bloody stupid and blinded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So just because other people don't agree with your idea, you call
them 'bloody stupid and blinded', accuse them of suffering from the
stockholm syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you even know what is stockholm syndrome? Who&amp;nbsp;are
we&amp;nbsp;sympathising here? Who is holding who hostage here?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are we showing signs of sympathy towards the police? When the
video clearly showed who is right and who is wrong, is it wrong to
defend the right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Influenced by PAP propaganda in the mainstream media.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You of all people should know this fishbuff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any ideas that some of us put across that you guys don't agree
with, you guys accuse us of being 'influenced by PAP propaganda in
the mainstream media'. That being so even though so many of us here
mentioned that we can see for ourselves who are the wayang people
and who are those doing their job in that video.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are seeing the truth&amp;nbsp;for ourselves in that video. Not
from what government-controlled media. Some of us even listed out
the reasons why we think the article posted up by TS is a joke...we
backed up our arguments using scenes from the videos given by TS,
using proper evidence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But you just brush it all off and&amp;nbsp;claim that&amp;nbsp;we are
influenced by propaganda. No solid argument, no evidence, no
logical analysis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Likewise, the next time you put across an idea that I don't
agree with, I will say you are 'influenced by opposition propaganda
in their extremist media'.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I hv a female friend who got molested. Then she was very scared
and angry. She asked her piano teacher, a middle age uncle, to
accompany her to the police station. When she reported to the
police, the first thing they do is to ask her whether is it her
piano teacher who did it. They questioned, stressed, and suspected
her, till she broke down and just walked out of the police station
without completing the report.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The police are just so brave and courageous! If it was me, I
would not even have the face to be seen handling such lame
'protesters'&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;i think the bugger who was lifted into the police van really
wanted to know how it feels like to die and be carried into the
singapore casket van.. he was just lying there, like emperor
waiting for his concubine to bed him..&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;The police think they are very great, I was shouted at by the
officer when I reported my money stolen, their attitude is really
bad, not all but some. Police can bully innocent people,but when
they see robber or gangster they pretend not to see.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;really?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;coz when i reported my wallet stolen, I was just told to write a
report. What exactly did this supposed officer shout at you?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Lol...for a momment of time when I read the article, I actually
believed that the police were so unprofessional in their handling
of the arrested. But as I looked at the video...I went LOLOLOL!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's pretty obvious who's the one making more commotion, more
noises&amp;nbsp;and trouble in that video isn't it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for involving children into the process...well, the Chees had
always been involving their children into politics and their
protest all these while isn't it? Why involve children in adult's
affairs? It's as if they don't know such protest will ultimately
end up being chaotic and such...how safe it will be for the
children, man...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I actually sat through the pain of watching the entire saga on
youtube. It was horrible. I had to take several breaks throughout
the 3 short clips just to regain my composure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, I'm not talking about brutality. I'm talking about how
embarrassed I was to be born on the same rock as these people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are a few things to note:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) When asked to disperse, they claimed to be dispersing, but
carried on with their intended march. Did they not know the
difference between dispersing and leaving the scene?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) The officer in charge told them repeatedly to disperse(3
attempts if i'm not wrong). In reply to the officer threatening to
arrest them if they continue to march, Dr Chee invited the officer
to arrest him, which the officer eventually did. And all of a
sudden, everyone's going like "wtf, why are you arresting him? What
did he do?" Collective amnesia? Really?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) They resisted arrest. Quite obviously. I'm actually amazed
and a little dissappointed the police didn't use more force to
break it up. If you force people to forcefully move you, it's
hardly a valid complaint that they are using too much force. All
you had to do was WALK to the van on your own free will. I saw at
least one sensible protestor do just that. He was not touched at
all. If people have to CARRY you, be prepared to knock your
head.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) The most horrible part of the entire thing was that children
were involved. Now that's just fighting dirty. You knowingly commit
a crime, hope to be arrested, and the BRING YOUR CHILDREN? What,
sympathy vote? That's just irresponsible parenthood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or course, the rest of the report came from the gang who got
arrested. I'm not going to even bother to explain why their
statement is not exactly super trustworthy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Why can they write out their solutions to the problems they

any way. Dun go around yelling thats a problem...tell us the
workable solution.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

"The officer who arrested Ms Chee Siok Chin got ahold of her finger
and bent it. Ms Chee cried out "You're breaking my finger! You're
breaking my finger!" which was recorded on video."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;goodness.. they really know how to wayang.. watched the video..
her voice wasn't even anywhere higher den typing on my keyboard..
nice exclamation marks..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;before watching the video i was cringing in pain from
visualizing how hurtful it will be to get ur fingers twisted..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;after watching the video i was cringing in pain from seeing how

      <description>&lt;p&gt;those they arrest do not actually pose a threat to public and to
the officiers involved in the arresting. So, they could have
treated them a bit nicer... and who knows... with the next
election, the Lee dynasty would be over thrown and those they
handcuff so frequently might be their next boss.?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Roll out the red carpet and invite them up the vehicle instead
of manhandling !! While i don't think the police are very
professional ( from experience as a victim), what were these law
breakers ( whether law is justified is another issue) expecting
?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style=
"font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Police behaviour away from public
eye&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singapore Democrats&lt;br /&gt;
17 Mar 08&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Far from the good guys that they try to portray of themselves,
police behaviour on 15 Mar 08 was despicable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For one they treated Mr John Tan, SDP's assistant
secretary-general, without regard for his safety. As Mr Tan had
difficulty getting into the police vehicle several officers,
thinking that they were away from the public eye, dragged him in a
very rough manner (see video).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the police van, despite being told that Mr Tan was suffering
from a frozen shoulder, they forced his hands behind his back to
handcuff him. Mr Tan turned pale with pain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the meantime, one of the protesters kept shouting that Mr Tan
was diabetic and asked the officers to take it easy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he arrived at the station, Mr Tan was obviously in need of
medical assistance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The officer who arrested Ms Chee Siok Chin got ahold of her finger
and bent it. Ms Chee cried out "You're breaking my finger! You're
breaking my finger!" which was recorded on video.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another protester was treated in a similarly shameful manner. Mr
Seelan Palay fell over as he was led to the police vehicle. The
officers proceeded to drag him by the arms into the van, causing
him to hit his head against the steps of the van.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr Chong Kai Xiong, another one of the protesters who was arrested,
had three of his left fingers sprained when an officer grabbed and
twisted them during the arrest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the police station, the police demanded that the protesters
remove their "Tak Bolen Tahan" T-shirts and hand them over for
investigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first place, did the police not have enough video footage
and photographs showing the protesters wearing their
T-shirts?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, could they not have taken photographs of those arrested
while they were in custody? Why the insistence that the shirts be
seized?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr John Tan asked to call lawyer Mr M Ravi for legal advice first
to see if the police had the right to seize the T-shirts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Investigating Officer refused and called in four of his
colleagues, who proceeded to pin Mr Tan against the wall and
literally ripped the shirt off. As a result, Mr Tan sustained
scratches to his arm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police also demanded that the protesters hand over their
cellphones. When Mr Chia Ti Lik initially refused, four officers
were called in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there was one officer who stood out in his utter lack of
respect for the uniform he wore. Station Inspector Tan Kok Ann, a
stout man with a crew cut, was flippant as he was dishonest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the protesters were standing around and talking with each
other in the holding celling, SI Tan insisted that everyone had to
be seated. Dr Chee Soon Juan asked that the officer leave the cell
as they were in the midst of a private conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But SI Tan refused and stood right in front of the group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later in the evening, the Station Inspector came in and told the
group that everyone was free to leave after bail was posted. All
except Ms Chee Siok Chin whom he said was being held back for
further investigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon hearing this, the group decided not to post bail in order to
remain in the police station with Ms Chee. They asked to see her as
she was kept separate from the men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officer Tan Kok Ann turned down the request as, according to him,
those arrested could not communicate with each other. This was
obviously a fabrication as all the male protesters were kept in the
same room and were freely talking among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, when Ms Chee was arrested in September last year over
the Burmese issue and was taken to the Tanglin Police Division, she
was allowed to communicate with Mr John Tan, Mr Gandhi Ambalam, and
Dr Chee who were also arrested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, after hearing that the rest would not post bail if they
did not get to see Ms Chee first, Officer Tan quickly returned and
told the group that everyone, including Ms Chee, would be released
together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if pleased with himself for his great performance that day, SI
Tan Kok Ann did a little jig in front of those in the holding cell.
Yes, in full uniform.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
