Samurai sasumatas stop knife-wielding criminal - video

There are much worse videos going around, of red-armbanded Chinese officials beating chained dogs to death, apparently for fear of coronavirus transmission from the dogs. I'm not going to post them here, but they're easy to find on YouTube or LiveLeak.

The best explanation I've seen for this one is that it's a training exercise. Note the tire spike tools. At 0:39, you do see a sasumata being raised, but it looks like they eventually nab this guy with...a pool skimmer?

So at the beginning 30 sec of this video they seem to be taking temperature of the drivers forehead. Is this a coronavirus procedures training video? I don't think that was a pool skimmer. It looks like a dip net I use when catching crabs that has a plastic bag added to the interior of the the net.

I guess the Chinese folks are really afraid of being identified as testing positive with the coronavirus. Think the leper colony on Molokai island were you were simply abanded to that island with your incurable disease for the remainder of your life.

Good call. A dip net. Plastic bag on the interior makes perfect sense when subduing someone who is potentially contagious. Pandemic preppers: add that to your list!

Yes, I think it's a training video, or just a video of a training exercise. That's the most reasonable explanation I've heard, it's unlikely that this sort of exercise would be ad-hoc filmed and uploaded to the net, and the guy pulling off his mask and spitting on the ground seems to be acting in too contrived a manner to be real.

I'm trying to understand the practicality of the laundry baskets.

Swat teams that use real swatters.

Almost looks like they took this guy down for wearing a Thai version of those plastic Crocs sandals.

They also use hoops like a dog-catcher does. People going nuts with a knife is common in some parts of China.
In America they just shoot them.

That is correct, but you DO have to be STUPID to be shot here in America!!!!! Unfortunately MANY of this shootings you hear about here are "police assisted suicides". Also our revolving door legal system turns a lot of criminals out on the street. People are loosing respect for the law. Right the moment, as I am writing this response, there is a news story about 4 individuals arrested in connection with a fight outside a high school football game. 3 semi automatic pistols were recovered each modified with "switch" type triggers. All of these individuals already have firearms related police records. There is video of the laughing in the face of the officers arresting them. We have a "lack of respect" problem here in the USA. There needs to be severe consequences for this type of behavior.
