Maybe some cops in the world can take a lesson or two from this police
officer in Thailand. His general trust in the goodness of mankind and his
eloquent way of dismissing violence as a resort, has made thousands upon
thousands of hearts melt these past few days. All because of a video showcasing
how he tackled a very distressing situation that could have ended very badly.
Police officer Anirut Malee was spending a normal day at work at Huay Kwang
police station in Thailand, when suddenly a clearly distressed man walks in
holding what appears to be a large knife. The man was not having the best of
days and decided to take it out on the local police. You can see it all in the
video below:
The video clearly shows how Anirut Malee reacts. You’d think maybe he would
pull out a gun or jump at the guy. But Anirut seems clearly calm and confident
and simple remains seated in front of the assailant and starts a dialougue with
him. He tells Thai Visa News:
"He used to be a musician but had been working as a
security guard for three days and had not been paid. On top of this he had had
his guitar stolen and it was all stressing him out.
"I heard him out and sympathized and said I had a
guitar to give him, and suggested we go out for a meal together. We were
conversing in Southern Thai dialect".
Somehow Anirut managed to calm the distressed attacker – and then the most
amazing thing happened. The assailant just calmly handed the knife over to the
Anirut without putting up any fight. He broke down in tears and Anirut went up
to the man and did the unimaginable:
He gave him a big giant hug! How sweet is that?
But this officer is no fool – he also made sure to check if the man had any
other weapons on him. The attacker was then calmed down and taken to a
hospital. No charges were filed against the men – this was a happy ending for
everyone involved.
Anirut has now been praised by a magnitude of people online – he’s become a
global hero.
Anirut is an amazing testament of not just a great police
officer, but a great human being. Shows that if we treat each other with love
and respect maybe the world can be a better place.
