Don’t mess with Henan cops
Netease picks up a photo story that most of today’s newspapers have run with: a demonstration of force by the police in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province. The image reproduced here shows a police officer with a ‘net gun’ used to catch dogs, and protective armor.
In addition to the scary Robocop outfit, Zhengzhou’s police have also recently demonstrated the gun skills of their plain clothes officers. This article has photos of police officers with guns, and the explanation that “when there is a serious public security case, the police officers can protect the citizens by wounding or killing the criminals”.
