Its hilarious when there's crazy knife guys in China cause theres a mancatcher pole in every public building so you'll see like random shopkeeps and security guards pin the guy to a wall with 6 polearms while a public security dude with a shield walks up to disarm. Once again proving pikes are the superior medieval weapon.
Honestly I wish our cops used mancatchers. They're so much more humane than pepperspray or tasers. you get a little bruised, held at arms length so no chance of escalation through confusion/wrestling/going for weapons etc, worst case you fall which is a given with a taser.
Like even if there's just confusion and the wrong person gets caught with one there's some embarrassment and brusing and then it's over. No lingering agony, no voided bowels, no chance of heart attack, no burns, no accidental blinding, no asthma attack etc etc.
I guess it's not intimidating enough for the absolute dropkicks that sign up to the police academy and you can't secure a multimillion dollar contract making them and selling consumables.
The first Chinese guy to come up with the idea to attach a knife onto a mancatcher will become unstoppable
Thankfully, the crazy knife people are aware of the ramifications of starting an arms race, and would rather not have to face off against phalanxes of food stall vendors with increasingly long mancatchers.
I had never even heard about mancatchers until now
