Geylang raid drama: Cop aims gun at mob, man dares him to fight one-on-one
The four policemen went undercover to look for illegal activities in a Geylang backlane.
But the operation quickly turned ugly when they arrested one person at a makeshift gambling stall.
A crowd of about 200 people gathered around the officers and threw whatever they could lay their hands on, such as beer bottles and glasses, rocks and even rubbish.
They became so unruly that one officer pulled out his gun, turned on its laser guide and aimed it at them.
They calmed down, but became aggressive again when one of the men in the crowd, Foong Yuen Kuang, 28, charged aggressively towards one of the officers and challenged him.
Speaking in a mixture of English and Hokkien, he openly challenged the undercover officer to a "one-on-one" fight with him.
The mob resumed throwing things at the officers and dispersed only when police reinforcements arrived 15 minutes later. By then, the four officers were bruised and bloodied.
They received treatment at Changi General Hospital.
The dramatic details of the confrontation were revealed at the trial of Foong, a Singapore permanent resident, who faced one charge each of rioting and using threatening words at a police officer

The right of self defence is when life is threatened. I do think they have the right to shoot at the rioters.

This Mr Foong, I believe he "willingly cooperated without any coersion" by the police in the investigation of the incident at the station.
