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.

I guess any non lethal use of force by Police is good, although I'm a little scared in wondering exactly where they had been been trained to stick their carrots before moving on to adopting the firmer stick approach  ! :-)
