the local linguo should suffice; it's up to you to
learn the basics when you visit, learn how to say 'stop
police', right after 'where is the bathroom'

I though that only applied in totalitarian countries.

Oh wait...

may be I am a bit spoilt, as I did grow up in a country
where the cops didn't even speak the language of the local
population...

OK, how about this as a simple rule.

When more than one person is aiming a gun at you and yelling "Stop,
Police!" don't run away from them.

Just a thought.


That's fine, IF a) you recognize that they're police officers, b) you
can understand what they're saying, and c) you can even hear them in the
first place.

If you think you can convince a bunch of New Yorkers to go through
such a thing one at a time, you've never seen a typical subway
turnstile on a weekday.


OK. Put in 1000 or so.


So now you've saved the terrorist the trouble of finding a crowd in which to
detonate his device. Great work.

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

If they don't understand that much English, they should go back home.

although, in some part of the UK, law enforcement is provided
by folks speaking with a Scottish accent (I went to college in
Ireland) which I challenge you to understand under the best
conditions... a safe bet though is to translate anything they
say as 'freeze' and you should be ok :-)

Yes, using a scope would make things easier. :-)


That's what we call gun control out here in the west.

And we call it the same in Pennsylvania.
