This is not a drill. Or is it?
The Chinese equivalant of Police Chief Wiggum is falling under heavy criticism for hiring actors to rob a Zhenzhou bank, as a part of a training exercise. The only problem with this situation is that nobody – not the people in the bank, nor the police officers – were told that this was a drill:
Four ‘robbers’ rushed into the Post Office Bank, disarmed security and demanded all the people inside drop to the floor. They even snatched a customer’s bag containing £20,000, reports Guangzhou Daily.
Critics said police officers, unaware that it was a training drill, could easily have used their guns on the fleeing robbers. Source: ananova
Only in China, folks…
