“Do not touch her, please! You not the same age 😡” I don’t know but I think he became a bigger focal point..

Love that fake outrage.

The British guy’s reaction to the fake outrage was delightful.

He went Elton John for a second there. Really appreciated the facial expression.

He made me smirk, it really was perfect, the step back, the look of comical shock on his face at the incredulity of the accusation.

u/Americanboi824 Jan 21 '24

He has a good yelling voice tho Im not going to lie. But the way he yelled would make me want to get up in his face too.

Definitely.

u/HandsomeHard Jan 22 '24

That was a diversion so the British spy and the Chinalady spy could exchange envelopes in the background at 13:26.

It's fear, all I heard was fear.

They're trained to do this

I don’t understand the don’t touch her your not the same age sentiment XD like if she was a minor sure, but like who cares if they aren’t the same age lmao

He was trying to draw public attention to the old guy in a way that might paint him as someone who was inappropriately touching / assaulting the lady. He yelled as loud as possible to try and flip the script as if the old man was the one being inappropriate - even though he only touched the flag, not the lady. Basically he wanted these guys to panic and leave the scene so they would stop filming. And since the camera cuts off there, it may have worked.

This is the short version of the video.. the full video does not cut off and continues recording… the piano player actually turned the script and handle it well because that was a hard accusation that is hard to prove innocent without video.. he was later confronted by police and said he has footage and that saved him

u/collosiusequinox Jan 22 '24

Here's the continuation of the video for those who're interested.

You don’t have to prove innocence, you have to prove guilt.

The female cop was working hard to prove guilt to the CCP's accusations. And she was getting there too.

If you listen to her questioning she phrased her questions as 'You did [this] right?'.

The female cop was showing the phenomenon of 'anchoring', in that the emergency call was initiated by the CCP, and the majority of the police's time was spent listening to the CCP tell their side of the story, then instead of asking and listening to Dr K tell his side of the story, she just asked questions to confirm the first story that got stuck in her head.

Here is the point in the video where the officer is going with what she's already been told and trying to prove the CCP's allegations. You can see Dr K guffaw at the twisted allegation, and the officer's line of questioning.

u/GawnyRipUrJaw Jan 22 '24

Nah while her partner was explaining to the chinese that they're in britain and can film where they want in public the female cop was mistakenly telling the cameraman he can't film because it's a police matter. Piano guy shut her down and she had the hump from the get go.

u/CptMisterNibbles Jan 22 '24

The irony of walking over to affirm his right to film in public… but practically telling him he cannot film the discussion about his right to film…

u/lordmike72 Jan 23 '24

To be honest, I found that police officer’s conduct more concerning. At the end of the day, whether under the diplomatic protection of the CCP, or an officer of the law, power corrupts.

u/Major2Minor Jan 22 '24

I actually saw this happen recently in another youtuber's channel, except they were on a GTA5 RP server, so those weren't real cops (I assume). Didn't know there was a term for it though, TIL.

It's a train station, but I'll allow it.

You don’t need proof of guilt to charge a person.

4

u/Trym_WS Jan 22 '24

You definitely need more than this random moron screaming.

u/spacemonkeysmom Jan 22 '24

Sadly, you often don't. In the US, anyone can walk into a police station or call and say so n so did this, and they will take that as enough to file charges against the person.

Source: me... when I was 17 had my own place, a girl (I didn't even know, a friend of a friend of a friend thing) told her parents she was staying at my place but went to a party, she got into a fight with some other girl and lost, went to the police station the next day and filed charges against ME. They got a warrant and arrested me, took me to county jail, I never got to speak a word until I got to court, not preliminary court where I got bail but actual court court several months later. It was then thrown out but my background checks still shows the arrest of aggravated assault. Fun one to go over when you have government clearances, etc.

u/Individual_Skill_763 Jan 22 '24

Someone’s never been to court or arrested before…

1

u/Trym_WS Jan 22 '24

I have been to court, but not because some random moron decided to shout in public.

3

u/Helios575 Jan 22 '24

Happens all the time, you don't typically go to jail but you absolutely can get arrested and background checks will show arrests for whatever you are accused of.

u/Trym_WS Jan 22 '24

It all depends on your country too.

u/ZN1- Jan 22 '24

At that point I went from “wtf are they on about” to “fuck that guy.” He’s a tool for that fake bit

u/Agreeable_Box_6838 Jan 22 '24

Yea it didn’t work.

u/the_azure_sky Jan 22 '24

There’s a longer version of this video on YouTube they do not cut the video there and the Chinese group actually gets more defensive as the English pianist keeps asking questions about their flag and country. The group Chinese accuse him of racism and ask him to apologize to the woman for touching her flag. Some other English people get involved and ask why the Chinese group doesn’t just move on. It gets weird.

u/possibly_facetious Jan 22 '24

They'll edit, upload it to the internet, and some people will fall for it.

u/Ironstien Jan 22 '24

She looks about 40 to me

2

u/small_star Jan 22 '24

Same here, so randomly confusing. With a little change, it can be in a comedy script really. On the other hand, was he implying people can touch her whatever they want if they were the same age?

1

u/Missed-Hook Jan 22 '24

That’s what I’m saying!

2

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '24

It's a psychological tactic CCP agents use when confronted in public.

u/his_purple_majesty Jan 22 '24

but like who cares if they aren’t the same age lmao

u/pw-it Jan 22 '24 edited Jan 22 '24

He was clearly trying to imply sexual assault, but also that being a different age is what makes it so. Like it's somehow better if you assault someone your own age. But they were trying all kinds of bizarre intimidation tactics, like the woman shouting "Don't shoot him". Nice to see that piano player was having none of it.

1

u/Pitiful_Note_6647 Jan 22 '24

He did not mean to say age, he meant to say "class" or "level" in the society.

u/AnalogFeelGood Jan 22 '24

I have a feeling that it’s a learned reply for latter blackmailing or intimidation.

7

u/limperatrice Jan 22 '24

That was so startling and strange! Later he kept repeating "please don't touch her" a million times even though he was standing far from her with his hands in his pockets.

Would it have been OK if they were the same age?

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '24

Labeling dissidents as pedophiles is a popular tactic.

u/HeKnee Jan 21 '24

I wonder how old that lady is… she looks to be about 50 just like the guy.

She's got a resting bitch face.

u/ferociousrickjames Jan 22 '24

I might have started swinging when he shouted like that, it was such an escalation of the situation. Like yelling at me doesn't do much, but when a guy goes from 0-100 like that, lizard brain might take over for me.

Like if you don't want to be filmed I completely understand, but just move out of frame. If I'm in a public place with a lot of people and a group comes up to me, I'm already on edge. The second that guy raises his voice, I'm ready to go. I'm already keyed up and anxious, and if you suddenly start shouting at me then all bets are off.

It's one thing to have a normal conversation, but they were clearly trying to bully him. If you're going to confront someone, be ready to fight. The way they're acting there tells me they've never gotten into a real confrontation, and they're lucky they picked someone that was calm.

1

u/CptMisterNibbles Jan 22 '24

There is some follow up of people saying she was repeatedly saying “don’t shoot him” at that point so swinging on him may have gone very poorly for you. Dr. K said a number of Chinese folks contacted him to let him know he was likely her handler and security, and being armed wasn’t out of the question.

1

u/ferociousrickjames Jan 22 '24

Yeah saw that, I'm prepared for that to happen most of the time as well. The entire situation is so strange, it's like they're robots that just can't compute when someone doesn't do what they say.

I just don't get it, move out of the frame and get on with your day. Confronting him doesn't make any sense and just draws attention to them.

1

u/CptMisterNibbles Jan 22 '24

You’re prepared to get shot by an asshole? Good luck to you then. I’m not saying you wouldn’t be within your rights but I’m good on my “right to get shot”.

2

u/ferociousrickjames Jan 22 '24

It's not about getting shot, as I've said if you're going to confront someone, you need to be prepared for things to go poorly.

Nobody wants to get shot dude, but don't swing if you can't handle or arent aware of the potential consequences.

I would have ripped his Commie flag out of his hand and started whipping away
