Indonesian Police Retreat from Feisty Lady in Hilarious Election Drill

A TikTok video posted by user @/ria_vangobel2 has gone viral, amassing 13.5 million views. The footage shows a comical moment from a police simulation drill designed to prepare officers for potential security threats during elections.

Police Simulation Goes Viral

In the video, Indonesian police officers, dressed in full uniform, are seen participating in a mock drill to practice their response to various security scenarios. The officers are positioned in a defensive line, as though preparing for a serious demonstration or disturbance.

Feisty Role-Player Causes a Stir

In an expected turn, the simulation is disrupted by a role-playing participant who portrays an angry voter. This single lady, acting out her part, starts kicking and throwing sandals at the officers. Her unexpected and spirited actions cause the officers to retreat, adding a humorous element to the drill with other angry “voters” laughing behind her.

Social Media Buzz

The video quickly gained traction on social media, with many viewers finding the interaction between the officers and the role-playing lady both amusing and endearing. The clip has sparked widespread laughter and discussions online.

One viewer expressed their amusement, noting that it was surprising to see the police retreating not from kicks but from flip-flops, finding the situation hilariously ironic.

“Wow, this is my first time seeing the police not afraid of kicks, but backing away from flip-flops.”

Another comment mentioned how the police’s retreat seemed almost instinctive, as if they were reminded of the sandal-throwing they might have experienced from their own mothers as kids.

“Believe it or not, the police backed off because their reflexes kicked in, remembering the flying sandals from when they were kids.”
